No connection when deployed to phone

0 votes
I'm using AppWarpS2 with Marmalade 7.1.2 and I've got my server setup and sending and recieving information when I run the app on my pc, but when I deploy it to my android phone, it does not connect to the server. The on screen text tells me that the none of the callback functions are even run.

I am using the IP 127.0.0.1, is this the correct one for when deploying to mobiles?

 

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you need to mention the internet permissions in the android manifest.

I have got: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
in the AndroidManifest and can open URL links, but it still doesn't connect..
When you put "127.0.0.1" on the phone - it tries to connect to a server running on the phone itself. Which will of course fail. You need to put in the address of your PC/Mac thats running AppWarpS2. Either its public IP or if you are working in a private network at home/office then enter its private IP address (eg: 192.168.* or 10.0.*) and ensure that the phone is also connected to the same private network.
My private IP works like a treat, thanks!
great - please mark the question as answered!
