I'm trying to make a RESTful api call from the android emulator (using android 2.2). On my server for the login request I'm setting the cors header response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
This exact code works fine from Firefox 4 and Chrome 10 and I was led to believe the android browser resolves this header from version 2.1 up.
usr = $("#email").val();
pwd = $("#password").val();
$.ajax({
url: "http://myremoteserver/login",
data: {"username": escape(usr), "password": escape(pwd)},
dataType: "json",
headers: {"Accept": "application/json"},
success: function(response) {
console.log("Success: " + response);
if (response.result == "success") {
//doStuff
}
else {
console.log("Success Error: " + response);
$("#error").html(response);
}
},
error: function(request, status, error) {
console.log("Error status " + status);
console.log("Error request status text: " + request.statusText);
console.log("Error request status: " + request.status);
console.log("Error request response text: " + request.responseText);
console.log("Error response header: " + request.getAllResponseHeaders());
$("#error").html(status);
}
});
The server never receives the request and the status code is 0 which I've read can mean a cross scripting error. But, as I've said, it works fine in modern browsers.
These are the pertinent logs I see in the LogCat

As you can see there isn't a whole lot there... makes it a pain to try to debug anything.

- Can you please output error.message instead of error? – katsuya Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 18:47
- @knoguchi console.log(error.message); gives me: undefined – Josh Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 19:11
- oh yeh I mixed it up with local storage. Have you set internet access permission in android manifest xml file? – katsuya Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 19:55
- @knoguchi yea it does - I've edited my post to include the permissions section of my AndroidManifest.xml – Josh Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 20:00
- If the server hasn't got the request at all, the status code 0 possibly indicating that there is some problem with firewall. Have you try turning it off? – katsuya Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 20:07

Reset to default 1This was caused by the android emulator not being able to connect to the internet. It was fixed by adding -dns-server X.X.X.X (where X.X.X.X is my dns server) to the "Default emulator options" in the Android preferences in eclipse.
As you mentioned you are calling RESTful API for login service, I think you need to specify the ajax type to be POST method because it is GET method in default. i.e.,
$.ajax({ type: 'POST', ... });
I think that is why server is not returning any response.
If this does not fix your problem, could you tell me if you can successfully access other web services (anything on the web) from the application?
