app widget cannot connect to server in some devices

Question

I have a special problem with some devices.

my problem is that : I am developing an app with an app widget that app and app widget must be connected to a server. app connect to server perfectly in devices but the app widget cannot connect to the server in some device.

App widget provider class :

 public class WidgetOne extends AppWidgetProvider {


     @Override
     public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
         super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
         ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, WidgetOne.class);
         int[] allWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(componentName);

         for (int widgetId : allWidgetIds) {

             RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_weather);

             Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetOne.class);
             intent.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE);
             intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS, appWidgetIds);

             PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
                0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


            if(!Prefe.builder().getBool("isFirstRun",true)){
                showLoading(context, remoteViews);
                new getResponseAsyncWidget1(context, remoteViews).execute();
            }


            remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.root_refresh_widget, pendingIntent);
            remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.img_refresh_wedget_1, pendingIntent);

            appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widgetId, remoteViews);

        }
    }

Networking class:

public class Networking {
    OkHttpClient okHttpClient;

    public Networking() {
        okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .connectTimeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .callTimeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .writeTimeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .readTimeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .retryOnConnectionFailure(false)
            .build();
    }

    public String get(String url){

       Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .build();
        try {
            Response response = okHttpClient.newCall(request).execute();
            return response.body().string();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return "error";
        }
    }

Asynctask class :

private class getResponseAsyncWidget1 extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {


    String url = "//url"
    RemoteViews remoteViews;
    Context context;

    public getResponseAsyncWidget1(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews) {
        this.context = context;
        this.remoteViews = remoteViews;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {

        Networking networking = new Networking();
        String response = networking.get(url);
        return response; // return "error" in some devices Although the internet is connected
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
        super.onPostExecute(response);
        if (response.matches("error")) {
            // do something
            AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget(new ComponentName(context, WidgetOne.class), remoteViews);
        }
            else {
            // do something
            AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget(new ComponentName(context, WidgetOne.class), remoteViews);
        }
    }
}

my problem is that response in some device return "error" Although the internet is connected

When the phone's power mode is on, the system does not provide the necessary services to run in the background. To solve this problem, can use this code:

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        String packageName = getPackageName();
        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
        if (!pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(packageName)) {
            intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }

Welcome to stackoverflow

Probably your problem is related to the device Android version since from Android 9 and newer traffic through HTTP from the apps in cleartext is not allowed, see here:

Android 8: Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted
