getToken() not working on Android

[rmtheis]

There seems to be a problem with the POST in getToken() not returning a result when running on Android.

I tested it on Android 4.0.2. When I replaced the method with a new one using Apache Commons' HttpClient instead of HttpURLConnection, the method worked. HttpURLConnection is the recommended HTTP client on Android 2.3.x, though. [1]

Sorry for the lack of detail on this--I plan to take a closer look when I have a chance.

Hi Robert -

I'm wondering if you have had success with this lately?

I ran a Translate.execute() on Android 4.0.3 and v0.6.1 of the microsoft-translator-java-api, and was unable to reproduce the problem.

Please advise, and if it is no longer a problem, I will close this issue.

Thanks!

Jonathan-

Did you test using a Client Id and Client Secret, or an App ID?

I'm still seeing an error with Android 4.0.3 and microsoft-translator-java-api v0.6.1. The stack trace is below. The only thing I'm doing that's unusual is running in an AsyncTask to avoid getting a NetworkOnMainThreadException. [1]

While I don't think this is really a bug in this project, please consider keeping this issue open in case we can find a workaround.

I was setting only clientId and clientSecret, so I know that it was making the call to getToken() successfully. Also, I was invoking Translate.execute() from an AsyncTask.

One thing I did not do was run the code on an actual Android device. I tested it on a 4.0.3 AVD image only, which may be why we're seeing different behavior. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to get my hands on a device running 4.0.3 any time soon.

I agree, we should keep this issue open until it has been solved.

I also have met this error.
After re-checking my mistake is:
I had used Primary Account Key instead of CLIENT_SECRET
The CLIENT_SECRET you can get when you register for a clientId and clientSecret with Microsoft's Windows Azure Marketplace

Hope that can help you!
