I’m taking my first steps in PhoneGap with Android (How come you have to pick a platform, anyway? It’s supposed to be cross-platform!). I’m trying to call a RESTful service, get some JSON in return and put it on the screen. Tutorials for this are incredibly hard to find. I’m using the following code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
        <title>JSON Demo</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.js"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">

$.getJSON('http://MyServerIP/json/GetJobDetails/717/MyKey?callback=?',  {
    success:function(data)
    {
            data = evalJSON(data);
            $('body').append('<strong>X </strong>');
    }, 
    error: function() 
    {
     $('body').append('<strong>Error </strong>'); 
    }
});
        </script>
</head>
<body>
test 10
</body>
</html>

…But I get no response, neither success nor error. The server reports that it has been hit though, and returned the data. Browsing to the same URL also returns data. How come nothing appears in the emulator?

    For some reason the success: and error: were killing it, ie this works:

         <script type="text/javascript">

$.getJSON('http://MyServerIP/json/GetJobDetails/717/MyKey?callback=?', function(data)
    {
            data = evalJSON(data);
            $('body').append('<strong>X </strong>');        
});
        </script>
