Error 1109 url not valid

[ray]

Keep getting the error 1109:the specified url is not valid, so i use the do it option and copy the link it produces and post it in a browers and it works perfect. Any ideas what iam doing wrong?

what is the timer interval of the clock component?

what are the default values of the labels?

you might want to disable the clock in the beginning and enable it after you received a correct location in the location changed event

to set the url and to call web.get should be together, first set the url then call web.get

in the web.gottext event you might want to display the response content in a label

Disabled timer but the interval was 1000. Default value of the labels is 0.

I believe i got it right this time. How does this look?

[Taifun]

well, I would display the response content in a label, else you will not see, if an error was returned...

in the Web.GotText event try instead

set Label1.Text to get responseContent

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the

 Top 5 Tips: How to learn  App Inventor

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.

Iam confused, in the urlbutton.click i have it set to show the url from web2 in the label and it works. if i remove that and use set label.text with responsecontent in the web2.gottext nothing shows up. everything is working like it should the way i currently have it.

[Taifun]

if i remove that and use set label.text with responsecontent in the web2.gottext nothing shows up. 

if no error shows up in the web.gottext event, then it's fine

to set the local variable url to something does not make sense...
