Hello all,
I wrote a game. It call a web service with GET call.
During the preview it works correctly ( I made a lot of test).
Then I generated the APK file, installated it. The game works but the web call not.
I suppose that the app need network authorization but I don’t know how to set them.
Can you please help me ?
( the smartphone is online, of course)
I am using the same WiFi network.
Thanks,
J
Hi,
What Android version is the phone?
I don’t think a permission is required, since there is Admob and more…
did you ever get called get mobile?
Hello all,
I have generated a simple example:
If I run it on preview it works perfectly but if I compile it and run on my smartphone, the web page request failed: the raw scene variable is empty ( the smartphone is online and on the same WiFi than the PC).
I tested also generating Windows executable file and it works. It failed only on Smartphone.
Any idea ?
According to javascript - XMLHttpRequest POST not working? - Stack Overflow, you need to add
<access origin="*" />
To your config.xml. You can modify it while exporting if you are exporting manually or modify the one in the subfolder resources/GDJS/Runtime/Cordova of your GDevelop installation directory for it to affect all rpojects and exports (might reset when updating GDevelop).
Hello Arthuro555,
thanks for your help.
I checked the file (it is the first time that I open it) with notepad.
I found:
I suppose it is already setted.
To generate apk I use the Gdevelop
In your link I read to modify: AndroidManifest.xml but I can’t find it.
Any other idea ?
Please, can someone tell me if it is possible to call an internet service from a GDevelop APK app ?
If the answer is no, I suggest to show a popup advise when the action is inserted in the editor.
Thanks a lot.
I never tried. It would be easier if you shared your example project 
Maybe you should try a public file instead of dreamlo which might require a logging? I don’t know it.
Hello Gruk,
and thanks for your help.
You can call teh service without locgout.
The call used in my simple example is:
http://dreamlo.com/lb/5ecc197f377dce0a1438dd01/json
And the code source:

I suppose that the apk app isn’t able to go in internet. but I don’t konw how to fix it.
Thanks,
J
Hi everyone,
I know I’m boring, but from my point of view it’s very important to know if GDevelop can generate a mobile app that can go online or not.
Nobody has an answer?
If not, I suggest showing a popup that warns you by entering the web call: I think it is very important to know this limit when developing the game.
Thanks,
J

Hi,
I tested your project.
It works on PC, it works on mobile on network preview, and it works as exported APK.
I’m on Android 8, on home wifi.
Do you have a safety software on your phone, antivirus or other, that could block the request? Shouldn’t block a GET, but who knows…
Thanks a lot for your help Gruk, you are always very kind and helpful.
It’s a very curios case.
I tried to generate the apk with https://build.phonegap.com/ service and … it works (it should be the workaround).
So I know that:
isn’t my program problem
isn’t my phone problem
I can suppose that the problem born during the GD apk generation.
What tool do you use to create the app ? The GD standard one ? Do you change any setting before the apk generation ?
Thanks,
J
I exported using the standard online build.
The only thing I did was open the action to see the parameters, and I added empty quotes to the type because the syntax checker turned it red when I clicked on it.
Maybe that’s the bug. Confirm on your side.
Hello Gruk, thanks for your help.
I fixed the code inserting “” it but it doesn’t work.
So, a summary:
I can assume it’s my GD installation setting. As soon as I tried to install it on a different PC and I will let you know.
Thanks,
J
