Importing questions as a json for a trivia game

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 06:14:03 +0000

I am new to this community and exploring options for a trivia app that iam working on. In the storage section I see an option to "Import" Json which iimports the json as a file and not as individual documents in the collection . My expectation is to import the json (with all the questions of the trivia game) so it gets added as documents (each json object) . Can this be achieved ? If not, what is the real purpose of Import option then ?

Unable to setup push notifications for android app

Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:28:25 +0000

Hi, we are trying to implement push notifications for Android through your Corona SDK Rest API. As you might already be aware that Google has declared gcm to be deprecated and have asked all developers to use fcm instead. Therefore, any new project created on firebase doesn't contain the legacy server key which has been used by app42 for notifications.

The dashboard won't let us enter the FCM key for the new servers because it is more than 100 characters long and we are thus unable to setup push for our app. Can you please advise?

Thanks

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:52:48 +0000

For some reason, on my personal Android device, i can connect completely fine, and not get any connection error when using connectWithUsername(), but when i try to do it with another android device and my virtual device, it always gives me result code 5 Connection Error, when trying to use connectWithUsername.

My device which is able to connect is a Samsung galaxy j7 prime. Devices which wont work are a Samsung galaxy j7 pro and my virtual device which is a Pixel 2.

Frequently getting SSL handshake aborted exception

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 16:34:31 +0000

I am getting this below exception frequently, because of this my most of the calls are failing

Exception :com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.android.App42Exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:

I get a null reference error for RESTConnectorWWW when ever I do any API calls

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 10:26:44 +0000

DLL version: App42-Unity3D-SDK-4.2

Unity SDK

I am trying to make a prototype using App42 and Appwarp service for the android platform.

ERROR: I get this error for any api calls I do

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.connection.RESTConnectorWWW+<Execute>d__6.MoveNext () (at <85575a1ab73c4d6e95c6bfeaefc8478d>:0)

UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (System.Collections.IEnumerator enumerator, System.IntPtr returnValueAddress) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Scripting/Coroutines.cs:17)

When I tried intergrating App42 service to the protoype I all get an error, callstack as shown above. Currently the services I have been trying to implement are

User Service
Storage Service

Using the user service I have create Users,

Snippet: m_refUserService.CreateUser(App42ServicesData.m_strUsername,App42ServicesData.m_strPwd, App42ServicesData.m_strEmailId, m_refapp42UserServiceListener); I get NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object error but when I check the User Dashboard in App42 I can see the user

As the data was being uploaded correctly I carried on and started to integrate Storage Services, I get the same error but this time the data is not saved on the server. I have added code statement App42Log.SetDebug(true); so as to get App42Logs

I tried calling User Service Api GetUser

SNIPPET: m_refUserService.GetUser(App42ServicesData.m_strUsername, m_refapp42UserServiceListener);

I have attached a txt file containing the debug logs and the code

User creation seems to work, I can see the added users in the dashboard but nothing else seems to work. All Api calls throws null references. I can see RESTConnectorWWW gameobject in the hierrarchy.

I have tried to give as much as information as possible I hope It helps the team help me quickly and better. Thank you

Problem regarding Push Notification migration fromGCM to FCM

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:12:02 +0000

Hi, we are a long time customer of app42 and a monthly subscription holder. When Google announced that GCM services will be deprecated and no longer be contined about a year ago, we had timely shifted all our games from GCM to FCM. We understood from referring the forums that to switch the support, all one has to do is change the server key in the app42 dashboard. We received an email from Google yesterday, that the support of GCM will be abandoned in a couple of weeks and 2 of our projects are currently using the service. We were aghast to know that since the projects that Google mentioned, are currently live and have over 100,000 users. We have no idea what has gone wrong and seek immediate explanation from you regarding this matter as a lot is on stake for us. We are left with a very short time to act and this could prove to be an absolute disaster if nothing is done soon!

How I can test the new development enviroment ? I need to create a new App42 App so I can test all without stop the main application. There is some guides to implement FCM support to App42 ?

Unicode and findDocumentsByQuery not possible?

Wed, 28 Nov 2018 04:16:17 +0000

My mobile app will be used in locales where user attributes, such as logins and aliases, will be in unicode. I need to be able to insert, update, and search for non-ASCII literals. What unicode support does your NoSQL have?

Of course I can base-64 it, but that would make it *UNSEARCHABLE*

If you don't have unicode support (why?), instead, I could convert all searchable fields in NoSQL to a string of character decimals. Ugly and heavy.

NoSQL.addOrUpdateKeys corrupting record and also clearing "Created On" and "Updated On" fields

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 19:44:02 +0000

PARTIAL SELF-ANSWER SEE MY SECOND COMMENT

Trying to update JSON on a record is accepting the update, but removing all but one of the original fields. Also, importantly, the "Created On" and "Updated On" fields are being set to blank!

The one field that remains of the original data happens to be first alphabetically. It would appear to me that the record is failing internally to the NoSQL service during the update, and no error is being raised. SEE MY COMMENT BELOW

Original data after NoSQL.insertJSONDocument:

{
  "rank": 0,
  "alias": "scrub QY2EUR",
  "equipmentStored": {
    "numTimePacks": 0,
    "sessNumIceTeas": 0,
    "numIceTeas": 0,
    "sessNumTimePacks": 0
  },
  "aliasTerms": {
    "a9": "eur",
    "a0": "scrub qy2eur",
    "a1": "crub qy2eur",
    "a2": "rub qy2eur",
    "a3": "ub qy2eur",
    "a4": "b qy2eur",
    "a5": " qy2eur",
    "a6": "qy2eur",
    "a7": "y2eur",
    "a8": "2eur"
  },
  "login": "scrub QY2EUR",
  "battleHistory": {
    "summaries": []
  },
  "accountPK": "5bfd9b0de4b07b66c46b4cdf"
}

...now the corrupted record after NoSQL.addOrUpdateKeys:

{
  "test": "testData",
  "alias": "scrub QY2EUR"
}

Notice that only "alias" from the origianal record survived the addOrUpdateKeys. The update code is not special, as below:

update = {test:"testData"};
nosqlSvc.addOrUpdateKeys(MASTER_DB_NAME, ACCOUNT_COLLECTION_NAME, accountDocId, update, ...

Also very importantly, the "Created On" and "Updated On" fields are blank after the call to NoSQL.addOrUpdateKeys. See attached screenshot.

Operator.LIKE only works if matching from start of field

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 21:01:31 +0000

I am unable to match on text that is after the first character of a JSON field. For example, if a field has the value "dishwasher", Operator.LIKE will match "dish" but not "wash". This is the same problem someone else had years ago in this forum, but no answer was provided.

IMPORTANT: It **works** if I use a search term that matches the front of the field. It **breaks** with NotFound if I search within the field.

Here is an AS3 code snippet:

App42Log.setDebug(true);
var searchTerm:String = "wash";  // "dish" WORKS!!!  All "alias" fields start with "dishwasher"
var query:Query = QueryBuilder.build("alias", searchTerm, Operator.LIKE);
nosqlSvc.findDocumentsByQuery(MASTER_DB_NAME, ACCOUNT_COLLECTION_NAME, query, ...);

Here is my data. It should match, but the findDocumentsByQuery fails: Note only the "alias" at the root is relevant

{
  "rank": 0,
  "credsPK": "5bf33c2ae4b0d32c003ba900",
  "alias": "dishwasher JYBE9U",
  "accountConfigured": false,
  "login": "dishwasher JYBE9U",
  "battleHistory": {
    "summaries": [
      {
        "winCode": 1,
        "winTs": 0,
        "opEnv": {
          "rank": 0,
          "alias": "dishwasher DAMUM6",
          "pk": "5bf1cc9de4b01d45f6a4b683"
        },
        "winPK": "5bf33c2ae4b0d32c003ba901"
      },
      {
        "winCode": 1,
        "winTs": 0,
        "opEnv": {
          "rank": 0,
          "alias": "dishwasher DAMUM6",
          "pk": "5bf1cc9de4b01d45f6a4b683"
        },
        "winPK": "5bf33c2ae4b0d32c003ba901"
      }
    ]
  },
  "accountPK": ""
}

Geo Localized Push with Unity

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 16:50:51 +0000

Hello! I'm trying to make App42 geo localized push work with Unity SDK. I downloaded a sample and make the "normal" pushes work. I can receive push sent from App42 Cloud API / Unified Notifications. The problem is that I cannot receive push from App42 MA / Campaign. I guess that this is because I need to use App42CampaignAPI, but it is not provided in Unity SDK. Can you please suggest a solution? Thank you. Daniele

How can use java class in App42 Api cloud ?

Sat, 10 Feb 2018 17:29:37 +0000

Hi..

I'm writed some code for my custom code service using java but in console it doesnt allowed to upload it , its said can not use java class(java.lang) !

the code is pretty simple it just wait until an operation finished for example calling External Api to get data and return result or using App42 Service (UserService, SessionService, etc..)

please let me know how can solve this problem or another solution for doing this job

example of code i using

private synchronized String getData() {
		res = "nonvalue";
		SessionService session = sp.buildSessionManager();
		
		Message message = new Message();
		message.response = "nonvalue";

		Waiter waiter = new Waiter(message);
		Thread waiterThread = new Thread(waiter, "waiterThread");
		waiterThread.start();

		Notifier notifier = new Notifier(message, sp);
		Thread notifierThread = new Thread(notifier, "notifierThread");
		notifierThread.start();
		
		return message.response;
	}
	
	private class Message{
		String response;
	}
	
	private class Waiter implements Runnable {
		
		private Message message;
		
		public Waiter(Message message) {
			this.message = message;
		}

		@Override
		public void run() {
			synchronized (message) {
				try {
					//System.out.println("waiting for the notifier at");
					message.wait();
				} catch (InterruptedException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			}
		}
		
	}
	
	private class Notifier implements Runnable {

		Message message;
		ServiceAPI sp;

		public Notifier(Message message, ServiceAPI sp) {
			this.message = message;
			this.sp = sp;
		}
		
		@Override
		public void run() {
			SessionService session = sp.buildSessionManager();
			session.getSession("rebaz", false, new App42CallBack() {
				
				@Override
				public void onSuccess(Object response) {
					Session session = (Session)response;  
					//System.out.println("already logged" + session.getSessionId());
					finishJob ("already logged");
				}
				
				@Override
				public void onException(Exception e) {
					// TODO Auto-generated method stub
					//System.out.println("not logged" + e.getMessage());
					finishJob( "not logged" + e.getMessage());
				}
			});
		}
		
		private void finishJob(String response) {

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 23:11:29 +0000

Hi, awhile ago I was given a way to run custom code in a web app. I seem to be getting security violations, however, when running from my website. It seems to work locally just fine. Here are the errors that I get.

Error: [strict] Ignoring policy file at https://customcode.shephertz.com/crossdomain.xml due to missing Content-Type. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***

Connection to https://customcode.shephertz.com/1.0/run/java/MyCustomCode0.2.6? halted - not permitted from https://kelsongames.com/catscratch/ScratchCardWeb.swf?v=0.2.6

Any ideas offhand? Thanks!

How to parse class object to json and json to class object again using java?

Wed, 01 Nov 2017 13:52:57 +0000

In my project I have two classes: TourManager and City. TourManager class has and array and a method called add.city() where I put the created cities.

TourManager tour = new TourManager();

City city25 = new City("Maia", 100, 95);

tour.addCity(city25);

1) How can I parse the tour object with the cities added to jsonObject and send to custom code?

2) In my custom code, I also have a TourManager class, and I need receive the json request and parse the json object to TourManager again to do some processing. Is it possible to do that?

Best practices for controlling many objects

Mon, 30 Oct 2017 16:22:04 +0000

In a physics game, and with many objects (more than 100) that can be moved by players, how is the best way to control the position of all objects, so that all players have the same view?

I'm new to multiplayer system, so I do not know how to do it the most efficiently and with least data sending.

Reducing Lag When Making Storage Service Calls

Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:49:12 +0000

Hi there.

So, I've been experiencing some lag while sending Storage Service requests to your servers and I'm trying to avoid Application.Quit, Application.Pause, etc. due to unreliability. This means I have to save data after every death in my game which causes considerable lag (about 3-5 seconds).

Here are the functions:

public IEnumerator UpdateAchievements (string DatabaseName, string CollectionName, string Key, string Value, string JSON, System.Action<App42StorageServiceCB> result)
        {
            //Create new class.
            App42StorageServiceCB ASSCB = new App42StorageServiceCB();
            //Send new user call.
            try
            {
                Statics.StorageService.UpdateDocumentByKeyValue(DatabaseName, CollectionName, Key, Value, JSON, ASSCB);
            }
            catch (App42Exception exception)
            {
               //Debug.Log("Registration exception.");
                ASSCB.Error = exception;
                ASSCB.Failure = true;
            }
            //Wait for the process to finish. 
            while (!ASSCB.Success && !ASSCB.Failure) yield return null;
            //Return the result. 
            result(ASSCB);

            Debug.Log("Update achievements.");
        }

Then the above function is called with this:

public IEnumerator UpdateAchievementsCR (string Key, string Value, string CollectionName, string JSON, System.Action<App42StorageServiceCB> result)
        {
            ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            //This expression gets the user rank.
            ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            App42StorageServiceCB Result = new App42StorageServiceCB();
            yield return StartCoroutine(Storage.UpdateAchievements(DatabaseName,
                                                                   CollectionName,
                                                                   Key,
                                                                   Value,
                                                                   JSON,
                                                                   value => Result = value));
            //if (Result.Success)//Debug.Log("Retrieved achievements.");
            //else if (Result.Failure)//Debug.Log(Result.Error);
            ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

            result(Result);
        }

I've narrowed down the offending function to UpdateDocumentByKeyValue. Is the lag a normal occurrence when sending and retrieving data to the server?

On a side note, InsertJSONDocument causes almost zero lag which makes me think it might be possible to update via DocID, so I'll try that as well.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

How do I display the leaderboard in unity?

Sun, 25 Jun 2017 21:27:31 +0000

Hello! I am trying to display the leaderboard, but the keyword ScoreBoardService is not coming up as a class/method I can use. I've already looked at these tutorials: http://blogs.shephertz.com/2014/04/08/saving-additional-data-fetching-back-app42-leaderboard/ http://api.shephertz.com/app42-docs/leaderboard-service/#get-top-rankings I currently have the ability to add users to the database, but ScoreBoardService is not something that I can use. Any ideas?

Get User By Profile Data for Corona

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 19:21:40 +0000

Hi, Under "Get User By Profile Data" in the User Service documentation for Corona, it says "not available." Is this available now? I would like to be able to store the facebook user id of my players in one of the profile fields then have the ability to retrieve that profile using this unique facebook id. Is this possible? If not, is there another way I can accomplish this? Here is my scenario. When "John Lewis Smith" first logs into my app with Facebook, he creates a unique player name, lets say "bigjohnny." So bigjohnny is his username in App42. In the app I can present bigjohnny a list of his Facebook firends who have my app installed. So in reality, they too login with Facebook and have a unique player name in App42. I want bigjohnny to be able to select one of those friends then use that friend's facebook id to look up their username in App42 to send them a game request.The list that is presented to Johnny comes from Facebook so it only has the full Facebook name such as "Tina Louise Kiser" and her facebook id so I have no way of finding Tina in App42 without this ability. Hope that makes sense! Scott

Change in achievementService.GetAllAchievementsForUserInGame Regarding Game Name

Wed, 07 Jun 2017 16:17:11 +0000

Hi there! I'll explain the situation which is fixed, but I still need to know if there was a change or not.

I have an app in AppHQ called GameEverything.

In Gaming>Apps I have a new game in the GameEverything app called VelocityInfinity for leaderboards.

Until a few days ago in order to get achievements I used:

achievementService.GetAllAchievementsForUserInGame(userName, GameEverything, new UnityCallBack())

Just yesterday or the day before it was returning an error saying that the game 'GameEverything' cannot be found. It now works, however, with 'VelocityInfinity' as the game name.

So, my question is did your developers make a change which now organizes achievements and leaderboards under the game created in gaming which in my example is VelocityInfinity? Should I always assume that now everything in the Gaming area will now reference 'VelocityInfinity' instead of 'GameEverything'?

If you need any clarification, don't hesitate to get back to me. Thanks. :)

Delete a User and All of their Data/Documents

Mon, 05 Jun 2017 20:17:00 +0000

Hi, We would like to programmatically delete a user and all of their corresponding data and documents when requsted to do so. We have everything working except the two following items. 1. We cannot remove a collection even when it is empty. We can remove it via AppHQ (Remove Collection) but we would like to do that programmatically. 2. We cannot delete a social user such as a Facebook user. We can remove it via AppHQ (Delete Social User) but we would like to do that programmatically as well. Can you assist us in these two features? Thanks, Scott
