Calling url error in android

[Todd Johnson]

I am getting an error only in android and I believe it has to do with an error " android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException"  I have a location field that is added from the map manually. then later I try to add the location to another field in the same library in lat/long coordinates. It is failing on the call to the url but the url looks fine.  similear calls seem to work in other libraries and I am thinking it is related to permissions but I have checked all permissions and can see no difference between libraries. The same script works fine in desktop.

Here is the actual script: the read line is where the fail is occuring

// Get the address from LocationOnMap field
var address = entry().field("LocationOnMap").address;
//message("Address to geocode: " + address);
entry().set("debug1", address);
// Check if address field has content
if (address && address !== "") {
    // Encode the address for URL
    var encodedAddress = encodeURIComponent(address);
    entry().set("debug2", encodedAddress);
    // Build the Google Geocoding API URL
    var apiKey = "*";
    var url = "https:/" + "/" + "maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" + encodedAddress + "&key=" + apiKey;
   
    // Store the URL in the "URL called" field
    entry().set("URL called", url);
    message("DEBUG: URL being called: " + url);
   
    message("DEBUG: About to make HTTP request...");
   

        // Make the request to Google Geocoding API
        var result = http().get(url);
       // entry().set("debug2", result);
       // message("DEBUG: HTTP request completed");
        //message("DEBUG: HTTP response status: " + result.status);
       // message("DEBUG: Raw response body: " + result.body);
       
       
            var data = JSON.parse(result.body);
           
          //  message("DEBUG: Parsed data status: " + data.status);
          //  message("DEBUG: Number of results: " + (data.results ? data.results.length : "undefined"));
           
            // Check if geocoding was successful
            if (data.status === "OK" && data.results.length > 0) {
               // message("DEBUG: Geocoding successful, processing first result...");
                var location = data.results[0].geometry.location;
                var latitude = location.lat;
                var longitude = location.lng;
                var formattedAddress = data.results[0].formatted_address;
               // message("DEBUG: Latitude: " + latitude + ", Longitude: " + longitude);
               // message("DEBUG: Formatted Address: " + formattedAddress);  
               
                // Create location object for Memento Database
                var locationData = (latitude + "," + longitude);
                entry().set("Location", locationData);
               
            }
        }

Hallo

Ich glaube das hat nichts mit den GPS Daten zutun . Du willst ( mit der Roten Zeille ) eine String in das Feld " URL called " schreiben . Was ist das für ein Feldtyp ? 

Hello

I don't think this has anything to do with the GPS data. You want to write a string into the "URL called" field (using the red line). What type of field is that?

My extreme apologies,  in my hurry to get that posted before getting up from the computer I indicated the wrong line as the problem.  Again apologies! It is the line that calls the http().get(url) where the problem occurs.  I have a version  using try{} and that is where I could see the error  android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException. When I get the contents of the url that is called but throws the exception it will actually work in the browser on the desktop so I think that part is correct. 

Thank You, sorry again.

Hallo

OK . Hast du der Bibliothek erlaubt auf das Internet zuzugreifen . Hatt dein Handy auch Internet zugang ?

Hello

OK. Have you allowed the library to access the internet? Does your phone also have internet access?

I don't know why but it appears to alter the line that I'm highlighting in red.  I'm pretty sure I tried to highlight this line:

var result = http().get(url); 

I have noticed my wording also gets altered in the translation too.

Sorry

Okay I've made another trigger inside the same  library. Everything works on desktop. It does not on my android.  I have gone into the permissions for the triggers and made sure network and library permissions are ok. I've looked for any other settings I can find that would prohibit the call to google geolocation. I have other triggers that go out and get the location, it is inside of a function. It doesn't have the same problem.  I feel like it could have something to do with being in the main thread for android, whatever that is.  I wonder if it has to do with the need to be asynchronous which I only understand to the point that it wouldn't hold up the main thread.

It's quite a stumping question for me right now.  I don't know what I have to change in the android version to work but it would be nice to know.  

Thanks, Todd

The problem occurs at:  var result = http().get(url);

// Get the address from LocationOnMap field

var address = entry().field("LocationOnMap").address;

message("Address to geocode: " + address);

entry().set("debug1", address);

// Check if address field has content

if (address && address !== "") {

    // Encode the address for URL

    var encodedAddress = encodeURIComponent(address);

    entry().set("debug2", encodedAddress);

    // Build the Google Geocoding API URL

    var apiKey = "******************";

    var url = "https:/" + "/" + "maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" + encodedAddress + "&key=" + apiKey;

   

    // Store the URL in the "URL called" field

    entry().set("URL called", url);

    //message("DEBUG: URL being called: " + url);

   

    //message("DEBUG: About to make HTTP request...");

   

    // Make the request to Google Geocoding API

    var result = http().get(url);

    var data = JSON.parse(result.body);

   

   message("result is " + data.results[0].geometry.location.lat);

   entry().set("debug3", data.results[0].geometry.location.lat);

It says the library has permission to access the internet.  Phone has internet access.

Hallo

Eine Möglichkeit wäre das du für Google nicht die Berechtigung hast . Eine Abfrage würde dann auch fehlschlagen . Versuche die URL direckt in Handybrauser eintzgeben , was der dann Sagt .

Hello
One possibility is that you don't have permission to access Google. A query would then fail. Try entering the URL directly into your mobile browser and see what it says.

In case anyone has the same problem, and I think I actually had a similiar problem before but didn't catch this again but:

In at least my android Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it will not allow the geolocation search for a trigger activated before saving the entry.  It has to be triggered after the save!
