AJAX on Mobile

Hey guys.

Does anyone know how to get AJAX working on either AppMobi DC or CocoonJS? Or any other way to communicate with a server?

Cheers!

CocoonJS and appMobi support XMLHTTPRequests, it depends what you implement like JSON, scores, get .txt, etc.

Hey Joannesalfa. The inbuilt AJAX object fails in both DirectCanvas and CocconJS for me. With DC it results in a black screen, and with CoccoonJS it just doesn't do anything. So while both platforms, in principle, support AJAX, I was more referring to it's implementation in Construct.

Ashley didn't implement XmlHTTPRequest feature and WebView for CocoonJS and appMobi on Construct 2, he claimed he is still working with that.

Otherwise, you manually need to edit c2runtime.js

It's complicated.

Righto. I might have a fiddle with the AJAX plugin.

in CocoonJS, to develop standard XMLHttpRequest inside on canvas, there list parameters could work:

-open

-send

-onreadystatechange

-readyState

-responseText

-status

-statusText

Weird... Ashley's already got a whole bunch of code for dealing with DirectCanvas...

Yep, Ashley will fix it soon.

Ashley how is going with AJAX system for mobiles?

Bump

Despite the fact it ought to work, both CocoonJS and directCanvas have bugs which prevent the AJAX object working. I've told both ludei and appMobi (tagging AppmobiTyler) about it, but neither have fixed it yet. Try complaining to each company, they might prioritise it higher if real users are asking for it.

I tried even with phone browser export of appMobi , it still doesn't work , i just get a blank screen. any idea ? , any workarounds ? this is very critical for my game project .

Well I believe Ashley's done everything he can on his end. As he said, get in contact with ludei or AppmobiTyler about it.

Hey guys,

This sound like a cross domain issue. That is why ajax is not working. A solution would be to find a plugin that allows for JSONP calls. If you can not find one that fits what you need, let me know I can fairly easily add it to the appMobiDev plugin.

If I can ask, what are you looking to use Ajax for in your games? Is it for saving scores, game data, etc..? If so, checkout our playMobi plugin. That is our cloud service for things like leaderboards, badges, game data, etc...

Again, just let me know if you can't find a plugin to fit your needs. I'll be more then happy to help out and add jsonp actions to he appmobiDev plugin.

tap - I tested making an AJAX request from appMobi to an address that the server explicitly marked as allowed for cross-domain requests (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) and it either crashes appMobi or just does nothing. I'm pretty sure it's something appMobi need to fix. I submitted a bug a while ago.
