setPageOffset in Corona not working

Question

I am trying to create a relative leaderboard in Corona where the user will see his score and other people's around him. I am following suggestions from this thread to do it.

Whenever I attempt to use setPageOffset the function will not have any paging performed. Instead, it returns a list starting from Rank 1 and down (the regular resposne as if no paging was given).

The code I used is as follows:

local pagingOffset = 10
local limit = 5
local scoreBoardService = App42API.buildScoreBoardService()
scoreBoardService.setPageOffset(pagingOffset)
scoreBoardService.getTopNRankings(gameName, limit, App42CallBackMyRankList)

 

Could anyone shed light on this?

Answer 1

Hello,

Please replace the below line from this metaHeadersParams.pageOffset = pageOffset

to metaHeadersParams.offset = pageOffset in App42Service.lua file which is in App42-Lua-API folder. 

Please make these changes and let us know if it helps.

I have made the change in App42Service, but it did not appear to make any difference in the result object. It still returns from the highest score and down with no offset.

Could you please put a below lines of code before calling leader-board api and share the logs with us:

local App42Log = require("App42-Lua-API.App42Log")
App42Log:setDebug(true)

Thanks,

Sure thing. This is the response that is returned from debug. It is exactly the same response I would get from a normal request starting from rank 1 (aside form the signature).

Thanks for sharing the logs details. Looks like your page offset is not set correctly in Leader-board call. Kindly use the below code snippet and let us know if it helps:

 
local gameName = "DoubleDiamondCherriesTest1"
local App42CallBack = {}
scoreBoardService:setPageOffset(3);
scoreBoardService:getTopRankings(gameName,App42CallBack)
function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)
            print("Game name is "..object:getName())
            if table.getn(object:getScoreList()) > 1 then
                        for i=1,table.getn(object:getScoreList()) do
                                    print("userName is : "..object:getScoreList()[i]:getUserName())
                                    print("score is : "..object:getScoreList()[i]:getValue())
                        end
            else
                        print("userName is : "..object:getScoreList():getUserName())
                        print("score is : "..object:getScoreList():getValue())
            end
end
function App42CallBack:onException(exception)
            print("Message is : "..exception:getMessage())
            print("App Error code is : "..exception:getAppErrorCode())
            print("Http Error code is "..exception:getHttpErrorCode())
            print("Detail is : "..exception:getDetails())
end

The code I have is set up the same way as what you have provided. I ran a step-by-step debug and found that the value passed into setPageOffset() was somehow nil when it actually got into the function itself. If I add a random variable in as another parameter the offset works as expected.

scoreBoardService:setPageOffset(3); --passes in nil
scoreBoardService:setPageOffset("not used", 3); --passes in 3 as first parameter

I'm not able to explain this phenomenon, but it makes it work. This may be something further on my end which I will have to look into. Thank you for your support!
