I am trying to make a login application so you can view grades/email teachers/etc.
and I can do all that but I CAN NOT get the login to work for the life of me.
Every time I try I get:
Could not retrieve user_id from the session. User timed out.
Blockquote
I have no idea what’s wrong with my code and why I can’t login.
Someone please help me. Thank you.
Code of the main “Login”:
public class GradePortalActivity extends Activity {
private final static String SITE = "http://dcps.mygradeportal.com/";
private TextView usernameField, passwordField;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MySoup.setSite(SITE);
usernameField = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.usernameField);
passwordField = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.passwordField);
}
public void login(View v) {
if (usernameField.length() > 0 && passwordField.length() > 0)
new Login().execute(new String[] { usernameField.getText().toString().trim(), passwordField.getText().toString() });
else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Fill out login form", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private class Login extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
private ProgressDialog dialog;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
lockScreenRotation();
dialog = new ProgressDialog(GradePortalActivity.this);
dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
dialog.setMessage("Logging in...");
dialog.show();
}
@Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
String username = params[0];
String password = params[1];
try {
MySoup.login(username, password);
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean status) {
dialog.dismiss();
if (status == true) {
Toast.makeText(GradePortalActivity.this, "Logged in", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
new Test().execute();

return s;

The “error”:
Is being generated from this line:
If you browse to http://dcps.mygradeportal.com/homepage.aspx, you’ll see that your server is generating the following error:
So what I suspect is happening is that you’re supposed to pass in a few POST parameters when scraping
http://dcps.mygradeportal.com/homepage.aspx, which you’re not doing. One of those parameters is probably the elusiveuser_id.Keep in mind I can’t tell you this for sure because I don’t know how the
gradeportalservice works, but this should help you troubleshoot your problem.
