Android 2.2.3 unable to call SAML URL with JQUERY AJAX

Question

I've been stuck here for quite some time now. I am developing a mobile application with phonegap. I have tested the app with android 4.0.4 and it is working perfectly fine. However, when I tested on 2.2.3, the AJAX ended with and error state of:

ready state = 0

HTTP Status = 0

I have tried to increase the timeout to be really long but it still ends with that result. I am not sure what is the problem but I have developed another app using the same ajax call and it is working fine on android 2.2.3 but what makes this time different is that it calls to a SAML URL (Identity Provider).

the codes is like bellow:

$.ajax({
                url: "...."+Math.random(),
                type: "POST",
                data: {
                    j_username: uname,
                    j_password: pword
                },
                cache: false,
                timeout: (100*1000),
                success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
                    var contentType = jqXHR.getResponseHeader('Content-Type');
                    if (contentType == 'application/atomsvc+xml'){
                    }else{
                        alert(".....");
                        // clearTimeout(timer);
                        $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
                        enableAllButtons();
                    }
                },
                error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
                    // clearTimeout(timer);
                    alert("Error Thrown : " + errorThrown);
                    alert("status : " + jqXHR.status + " " + jqXHR.statusText);
                    alert("ready state : " + jqXHR.readyState);
                    alert(".......");
                    $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
                    enableAllButtons();
                }
            });

Really hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you very much for your input in advance.

Regards,

Amanda

The code seems to be fine except one thing

You are using Math.random() in the URL.. You also use cache:false Try to remove the Math.random() from URL while jQuery Cache uses the same thing.

Also, while you get readyState = 0 then it will be a CrossDomain issue. Use JSONP for that (dateType:'JSONP') in AJAX options

Hi Alla, I tried to run on the eclipse emulator for android 2.2.3 and it worked perfectly fine. I think its the crossDomain issue but actually I have already connected to my VPN via anyconnect. Do you have any advice as to how I might be able to resolve this cross domain issue. Particularly for Android 2.2.3 because on the ohter version is working fine. – Amanda Mar 28 '13 at 09:53
if you are suing jQuery, then you have to read about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11736431/make-cross-domain-ajax-jsonp-request-with-jquery – Alaa Badran Mar 28 '13 at 12:04
