My app is not connecting to my server.

meshileya

I have an application which ought to be connected to a remote server, but the problem i am encountering is this. If i should test my html file on my browser, it will work fine, and i will be able to send and receive back my data. but, testing with monaca Localtoolkit or building its APK, it won’t connect to the net. I am using angularjs for this connection…

Maybe the CSP (Content Security Policy) not allow this action, check the CSP of your html page (on local the localhost is trusted) .

this is sample 192.168.1.2 is the name of a server :

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="
      default-src 'self' data: gap: https://ssl.gstatic.com 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline' http://192.168.1.2;
      style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
      font-src 'self';
      connect-src 'self' http://192.168.1.2:8080 http://192.168.1.2 ws://192.168.1.2;
      img-src 'self' data:"
    />

You can generate one here : http://cspisawesome.com.

am i going to add this to the header of my html pages???
cos, my previous thought is this…using the whitelist plugin in my cordova, i should be able to egt pass this Content Security Policy

@Munsterlander suggested that cordova plugin could have been my problem…but, i am definitely lost in this

NOTE: i do not have access to the database, i was only given a url with different op…to post my request.

Yes add the meta tag in your header (<head>…</head>).
