Hello, I cannot get this code to run from page 287, I've all the necessary coding, went over it three times, each section is correct. Logcat is showing a nullpoint exception.....

So I believe I already found an issue with this code... int response is -1, and we're testing to see if this response == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK.

HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK , from the android reference guide is:

Numeric status code, 200: OK
Constant Value: 200 (0x000000c8)


I removed this if/else entirely, still getting issues

Getting this error: could not disable core file generation for pid 24563: operation not permitted, been getting that the entire time..

with the HTTP_OK check removed, doesn;t look like get a null pointer in the logs anymore, getting a black screen with no image showing now..

Hi eoswins
First, about the response code. The -1 is a default (bad) value. It should be
set to a new value by the statement above it.
response = httpConn.getResponseCode();
If all is well, it should get the 'HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK' value.

I am not sure what is causing the 'pid 24563' error. It sounds like there is something wrong in build.(?) Can you tell where in your program the error occurs?
Are you getting the screen with 'Networking' as a label?
Try setting some brakepoints an see how far it gets?

If it helps some my code is also not working. It tells me "Error connecting.".
And the exception says 'Unknown host' for 'www.mayoff.com' .
But I can enter the URL in the browser and it works.

Hope this helps
Cliff

I fixed my problem. It seems that I messed up the "android.permission.INTERNET" statement in the manifest file. So if you see the "Error connecting." message and your are sure that the URL is correct, check the <uses-permission> statement in the manifest file.

Cliff, so you are confirming the code in the book actually works?

Hi All
Yup, it works.
