I've built an application which loads statistics from an external xml file on the web. It works fine in a browser but after packagaing it with webworks and running it in the simulator the AJAX never loads.
That doesn't help but works fine in browser and also works fine when packaged from phonegap to Android. Will have to try using phonegap instead of webworks and see if it works then.
In your javascript, use this to request for the remote content:
// Create the XHR object.
function createCORSRequest(method, url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in xhr) {
// XHR for Chrome/Safari/Firefox.
xhr.open(method, url, true);
} else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
// XDomainRequest for IE.
xhr = new XDomainRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
} else {
// CORS not supported.
xhr = null;
}
return xhr;
}
// Make the actual CORS request.
function makeCorsRequest() {
var url = "http://www.example.com/";
var xhr = createCORSRequest('GET', url);
if (!xhr) {
alert('CORS not supported');
return;
}
// Response handlers.
xhr.onload = function() {
var text = xhr.responseText;
// Do something with returned text data
};
xhr.onerror = function() {
alert('Woops, there was an error making the request.');
};
xhr.send();
}
