sending data to server using kivy

Question

I am creating a app using kivy. I have installed simple dhcp server on my android.

import urllib
from kivy.network.urlrequest import UrlRequest

def bug_posted(req, result):
    print('Our bug is posted !')
    print(result)

params = urllib.urlencode({'@number': 12524, '@type': 'issue',
'@action': 'show'})
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'Accept': 'text/plain'}
req = UrlRequest('<ip>:<port>', on_success=bug_posted, req_body=params,
    req_headers=headers)
print req

result = "test"
bug_posted(req, result)

But, when I run this code, it wont logged in my server. how can I log into my server?

Answer 1

Did you give the ”INTERNET” permission to your app? Did you check in the logs (a that the service was running? did you try with something else that the thread-based urlrequest (that is useful in gui to avoid blocking, but less in a service)?

(I still don't understand why you mention the dhcp server, your device still access the internet correctly, right?)

Answer 2

Try calling:

req.wait()

near the end of your code

import urllib
from kivy.network.urlrequest import UrlRequest

def bug_posted(req, result):
    print('Our bug is posted !')
    print(result)

params = urllib.urlencode({'@number': 12524, '@type': 'issue',
'@action': 'show'})
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'Accept': 'text/plain'}
req = UrlRequest('<ip>:<port>', on_success=bug_posted, req_body=params,
    req_headers=headers)
req.wait()

without it the request does not seem to fire for me.
