C-style cast of an unknown object to a MemoryInputStream?? WTF!? You’re lucky it returned a nullptr!

Have you made sure that your app’s manifest gives it network access permission?

3

Thanks Jules, not sure what I was trying to do there TBH. Yes the internet access is ticked in the Introjucer. The permission is in the manifest.

Ok, figured out what the first problem was. I was getting a NetworkOnMainThreadException.

[code]The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a networking operation on its main thread.

This is only thrown for applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to do networking on their main event loop threads, but it’s heavily discouraged. See the document Designing for Responsiveness.[/code]

Really!!??

Moving on…

Still not getting back any data, actually crashing in HTTPStream.read() now.

I’m still trying to get a handle on all of this Android building/debugging shtuff figure out with Eclipse.

Has anyone used the URL class successfully on Android to fetch data?

6

Wow. I guess you’d better use a background thread then!

But I guess it is a sensible restriction to impose these days.

Yes agreed, the main thread business is fine. What about it still not working even on a background thread?

My bad, I’m still getting a NetworkOnMainThreadException exception.

All sorted out now. I was still reading the stream created by the URL class on the main thread. Well at least I got a little taste/contact with debugging the JuceAppActivity on Android.
