Question

Sending the below request in my phonegapp-ed android app works for GET but not POST.
With GET, everything works. With POST, the request goes through but the POST variables
are not coming through on the server side, and the server returns a
json response that says ‘no parameters supplied.’

POST works fine from our mobile app – it is just the phonegap app where we are having an issue. What am i missing here??? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I’ve tried changing the settings on the $.ajax call, the android manifest, everything I can think of.

Also, i’m using Android 2.2 and Phonegap 1.0

function goTeam(){ 
    var dataString={lat:currentLocation.lat(),lng:currentLocation.lng()}; // this all works 
    $.ajax({ 
            url: 'http://example.com/request/goTeam', 
            data: dataString, 
            dataType: 'json', 
            success: 
                    function(b) { 
                            if(b.status==1){  // woo hoo! it works 
                            } else { 
                                    // the request went through but something was wrong - this is what i'm getting with POST 
                            } 
                    }, 
            type: 'post',  // works with GET, doesn't work with POST 
            error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ alert("Noooo."); } 
    });

Phonegap does work with both GET and POST – cross-domain security issues do not apply. We had an idiosyncratic error our code that was preventing it from working. Phonegap is pretty awesome!
