Holy kr4p I only had to add a permission:


And every thing is back to normal ... I cannot dare tell you how much time I have wasted for that...

@ducateg

you seem to got it work for beta 0.9. I got still plenty of errors :/
could you attach a zip file of your working application. Would be so useful.


Thanks in advance

There is the app. It contains the kxml-rpc modified as per the kickass guy. I had to rip it off my code and sanitise it too, so I do not guarantee it will run out of the box.

The crucial thing to bear in mind is that at the server side I have a xml-rpc servlet that can consume the xml-rpc messages. This is the first bit you will have to set up.

This requires a web server and the xml-rpc libraries. I got good info from here:
http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/index.html

xml-rpc can be a bit funny if it is the first time you look at it (it was for me). The thing to bear in mind is that it is about setting up a normal servlet that happen to have a property file with a single argument which is the name of the class you want to write that consumes the xml-rpc messages (long sentence I know).

Anyhow, I had to do a funny modification to the xmlrpc-common-3.1.jar which is explained in a previous post. and recompile. Before I did this, everything worked but the answer was not understood by android. I have a suspicion this is no longer necessary and the 0.9 sdk does not require this fix.

The Communication class that has the code itself is rather simple, hopefully it is self-explanatory. The hard bits were delivered to us at the start of this stream...

So, that's about it... Good luck

as a disclaimer, I would say do whatever you like with the code but if it melts your machine and create chaos on a global scale, don't come back to me...

A milion thanks for your time, ducateg.
Great submission

Thanks ducateg for posting your project. I managed to get it running on SDK 0.9 but since most probably i do not have the right PHP on the server side i am not getting any reply. Would you please be able to explain what should i install on the serverside. I already have Apache and PHP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try this:
.
Like I said this link XML-RPC tutorial:

has good details about the xml-rpc server side set up info.


Basically, you create a web based project (I use netbeans to do that)


you write a POJO, say "Relay.java" (a simple java class) with one method like so:

You include all the xml-rpc libraries

You add the property file that points to the POJO Relay.java
It should be a one liner like so:

xmlrpc=your.path.to.Relay

You check the web.xml to include:


If this still does not work you add the zip file content into your source code. I did not have the time to turn it into a jar. Feel free to do so. It contains one change I mentioned in the trail before, Good luck.

Thanks for your help.
Do you have anything similar in PHP please?

Thanks

I'm afraid not. I am just as useful as Google when it comes to PHP.

Sorry, I seem to believe everyone programs in Java.

My advise is to get a simple xml-rpc server side going and to check that it is supported wherever you want your web site to be hosted.

When you manage, be sure to leave a little message here

Good luck.

I tried downloading your source code for the android xmlrpc client, but I'm getting compiler errors- It can't seem to find any of the classes in android.net.http other than SslCertificate. The other ones, like RequestQueue, are gone.

I can't find *anything* in the docs about these classes having been moved, or having existed in the first place. Does this mean it's not safe (with regards to funtionality, not security) to use these classes on an actual G1?

You are right. It is funny because my app still runs (emulator not actual device). However, I extracted the old bits from previous Android sdk. I am pretty sure this is not a good idea regarding security, but using this might help compile.

I have my application working with this.

Callingshotgun or Ducateg,

Have either of you found out what happened to the classes that have mysteriously disappeared from the android 1.0 SDK?

I guess specifically theses classes:

import android.net.http.EventHandler;
import android.net.http.Headers;
import android.net.http.RequestQueue;

Have you been able to get kxmlrpc to work with the 1.0 SDK without these classes?

Any help/ insight is much appreciated.

Check my previous post, it has libraries extracted from previous SDKs, I do not suppose it is a very secure way of doing things, but it works for me. Let us know...

Cheers

Yes I saw that, thank you. However, if they removed it from the most recent SDK I assume there was good reason for it. I was just wondering if anyone found out what happened to those specific classes in the most recent SDK (e.g. maybe they got moved to another package, or there is a comparable class with a different name).

Thanks

Hi all
I am trying to call a web service .For this i am following "daniel.kick.ass"tutorial. but error is comin in the org.kxmlrpc.java class on the line :
XmlRpcEventHandler eventHandler = new XmlRpcEventHandler();

// Create the connection and post the arguments
con = new RequestQueue(context);
con.queueRequest(url, "POST", headers, eventHandler, bis, request.length, false);
con.waitUntilComplete();
Error is appearing on the last line i.e. con.wait.untillComplete.error message is : "The method waitUntilComplete() is undefined for the type RequestQueue"

I am using sdk ver1.0 .Please help me out.

discover_dileep,

Try this instead:

I've found it works without issue in SDK 1.0
