no feedback: uploading .apk and .zip source problem

Open wolberd opened this issue 13 years ago • 3 comments

Hi. I realize this might not be implemented yet, but with the mobile gallery we're ready for it.

Currently, when I add an application in the web client, I can click on buttons to choose a .apk file and a .zip source file. When I choose one, there is no feedback and also when my app is listed that info doesn't appear.

Thanks,

Dave

It is implemented. When you click on the "Source .zip file" or "Application .apk file" buttons, a Find File dialog should appear. This does depend on modern browser features, though (a conscious decision that we discussed long ago), so if you're using a very old browser, it won't work.

What browser are you using (type and version)?

Hi Derrell. I'm using firefox 6.01. I've also tried with Chrome.

I get the file dialog and can choose a file fine, as you describe. The problem is that there is no feedback after that:

  • I'm not told that the upload was successful and no file name appears anywhere indicating the system has it.
  • If I go to my app listings, there is no fields for showing me whether a source or apk file was uploaded.

Also, today, when I chose a .apk file, there was again no feedback, but when I tried to OK the entire edit app dialog, I got the following error:

Async(undefined) exception: Transport error 500: Server error

Just to see if maybe the files were being uploaded, I tried to get them using the rpc interface,

http://app-inventor-gallery.appspot.com/rpc?getdata=1:source

gave me a file to be downloaded named 'rpc'. No extension. This should be named the same as when I uploaded it (noTexting.zip in this case). The name is important as it will be the name of the app when it is put back into app inventor.

When I try to get the apk with the api, i.e., http://app-inventor-gallery.appspot.com/rpc?getdata=1:apk

I get an "Error: No data found: Field must be empty..." error.

Dave, I think this got closed accidentally. Would you please confirm that, with the exception of no feedback about upload success/failure, you no longer get the server error.
