Need a quick bit of help from any one with Corona experience

techdojo · December 2012

Just a quickie, as any (ex)Corona user will know trying to get decent support through their forums is a nightmare and as we seem to have lot's of (ex)Corona users on "the worlds most friendly and helpful forum"(tm) I thought I'd ask here as well.

For my sins, I'm still providing support on a Corona contract I did a while back. At some stage in the app it makes a network.request() call using a standard http GET request.

params = {}
params.timeout = 90
network.request(url, "GET", callback,params)

Occasionally (and only using 3G never WiFi) the request will fail. This is picked up and dealt with correctly in the callback, by checking the "event" parameter .isError field.

When it does fail I wanted to check the error status code by checking event.status however instead of getting a http status error code, status always appears to be nil so I have no clue as to what generated the error.

Could anyone with Corona network coding experience give me a clue as too what's going on?

Cheers

1. what version of Corona are you using?

event.status
A number value: The HTTP status code. (Only available starting with build 2012.744)

There are a couple of changes that has changed the API a bit, which caused a few apps to break (when I was trying to remove OpenFeint)

techdojo · December 2012

The current stable version Build 2012.971 (I think, just double checking with the client).

Hi @techdojo, try to print out all info like this?

		local function networkListener( event )
				print("response",event.response)
				print("isError",event.isError)
				print("status",event.status)
		        if ( event.isError ) then
					print ("isError",event.response)
		        else
					--api.getUserInfo();
				end
		end

event.isError was true, event.status was nil, I didn't print out event.response, I'll have to check that out.

I was just wondering under what conditions event.status could be nil, I was expecting it to have a http status code.

I'm accepting the answers to stop the forum from pestering me, however I suspect this one won't get answered so I'll just have to accept it happens sometimes and move on.

Apart from the question, you can always ask on any subject.
Totally cool with us.
Cheers!

OFF-TOPIC : Why would anyone want to continue using that? The CEO leaves, The Main Promoter/FanGirl leaves, PR person leaves, Cocoa Developer leaves ... all cite reasons of lack of vision / support and they all feel that the community is not treated right. To the extent that @techdojo had to ask a question on these forums. I think #Gideros has arrived... where as competition has just killed itself. Just my @0.02 worth of rant

techdojo · December 2012

I wasn't trying to be funny or sarcastic, I just didn't want to leave the thread hanging. I meant I doubt the question will be answered, although I suspect the answer is that "sometimes it happens, deal with it."

@r2d2buzzsaw @ar2rsawseen - Actually I tried to reject your answer! How much did @hgvyas123 pay you to get me thrown out, just so's he can try and claim my star ???

@OZApp's - Kinda agree - sortof, I took on a job a while back BEFORE I found Gideros, which is why Corona was used and has to continue being used (there's no way I could ask the client to pay to have the whole app ported to Gideros and then ask him to shell out for a licence as well). I've asked in the Corona forums before and IF you get a reply generally (with some exceptions) they are nowhere near as helpful (or as quick) as my friends here >:D< and as we do tend to attract a lot of ex-Corona guys I thought I'd take a "punt".

You can take it as read that any new / future work will be based around Gideros, NOT Corona!

WHAT THE HECK, I'LL ACCEPT EVERY ANSWER - IT'S CHRISTMAS, LET'S ENJOY THE PARTY!!!!

Yeah I rejected it because you thought about banning me, but then I felt guilty over it so I made @Scouser a coffee instead

@hgvyas123 - better luck next time, I'll be taking a week off over Christmas so you might be able to narrow the lead then!

That's the time for you to write a Bot that creates posts or replies, but only if it is written using the GiderosAPI
