Embarking on my journey with PhoneGap and Android, I find myself puzzled by the need to choose a specific platform when it's supposed to be cross-platform. My goal is to call a RESTful service, receive JSON data in response, and display it on the screen. Unfortunately, tutorials for achieving this seem to be scarce. Here is the code snippet I am currently using:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>JSON Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.getJSON('http://MyServerIP/json/GetJobDetails/717/MyKey?callback=?', {
success:function(data)
{
data = evalJSON(data);
$('body').append('<strong>X </strong>');
},
error: function()
{
$('body').append('<strong>Error </strong>');
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
test 10
</body>
</html>
Despite the server confirming that the request was received and data was sent back, I am not seeing any results in the emulator - no success message or error message. Strangely enough, accessing the same URL directly does return the expected data. Why isn't anything showing up in the emulator?
