Quick start instructions no longer work on windows

[cleaverpj]

Hi,

I managed to get this working with version 1.0 after someone fixed the file reference problem with windows. I came back to use it for another project and it no longer seems to work with an actual android device, although I did get it to work with the emulator..

The manifest file is getting populated properly, and everything looks OK, but when running the server and a physical android client, the server doesn't report that a client has connected, nor does it push updates. It worked on the emulator, but not on a device.

Cheers

Phil

with ref to above, I'm using cordova 5.4.1, latest hcp, windows 7 and x86 emulator.

Hi,

Can you open Android Studio, launch the app on the device and check the logs in the console? There should be some info on what is happening. It may not fetch the update, until plugin is ready to do so. And this means, that it copied files from www folder onto external storage. And maybe it can't do that for some reason. Maybe, no enough free space, or some permission block.

The Android log tells me..

If I go to http://13e97860.ngrok.com/ in a browser I see my updated site.

java.net.UnknownHostException is a network issue, not a plugin issue. If you can open it in a browser - then server is up and running. If device can't reach it - that's some problem with the connection from device to your computer. Maybe Windows somehow blocks it, don't know. Plugin it self just tries to open this link, and if it can't - it can't do anything.

Nik,

You were absolutely right, Even though devices had connectivity, I changed wifi access point on the device and it updated fine. Closing
