Hi, Is the Avatar Management Service available for Corona yet? Corona is now Solar2D. Thanks, Scott

App42 Storage Service call not working from Button Click event.But working directly

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 14:38:55 +0000

When I call my Storage service be it insertJSONDocument or findDocumentById from my lua file which loads and call the DBService calls and it returns the results.

But same function when I call from a button click event in the same lua file the below error is displayed.

AppWarp\WarpUtilities.lua:224: attempt to concatenate local 'user' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

AppWarp\WarpUtilities.lua:224: in function 'calculateSignature'

App42-Lua-API\Util.lua:134: in function 'sign'

App42-Lua-API\StorageService.lua:169: in function 'findDocumentById'

DbConnect.lua:48: in function 'getData'

View1.lua:60: in function '_onEvent'

?: in function '?'

This is basic step .I do not know why it should not work. My Appwrap and Appwrap42 are having different api key and secret key.

Is it because the storage calls should be only called from main thread of the Scene lua file and cannot be called from inside of any other event or callback function

Explanation of a session for user?

Wed, 29 Nov 2017 22:38:21 +0000

Hello all. I'm trying to wrap my head around a user session, and what purpose it would serve....what I see so far is it's essentially a customizable way of storing data (attributes) tied to a specific user. Is that about correct? What are some of the use cases folks out there have used it for? Certainly appreciate input and explanations! Best, Mario

Error while building to Android using Corona SDK

Thu, 19 Oct 2017 22:08:54 +0000

I'm using "Storage' service in my Corona sdk app. Everything works great in the simulator, but when I try to build to Android device I get this error:

ERROR: Could not complete build because there were compile errors in Lua file: ~App42-Lua-API/Installation.lua

Get file by name

Sun, 15 Oct 2017 02:01:27 +0000

Hello I'm using the "uploadService:getFileByName(fileName,App42CallBack)" method. It works and prints the success message. But I'm not sure how to work with the actual file that I get back. In

function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)

the docs don't specify what other attributes the "object" parameter has other than type, description..etc.

Do I need to use the built-in Lua/Corona function "network.download" and pass "bject:getFileList():getUrl() " ?

Please Explain How Paging Works

Thu, 27 Jul 2017 20:32:38 +0000

Hi,

I have all my users and their corresponding metadata stored in a collection called "profiles". The date they signed up for an account is part of that metadata. This collection could have thousands of records/documents. I want to be able to view the last 10 users who signed up for an account. My approach was to findAllDocumentsByPaging for this "profiles" collection then sort the results by date then display the top ten.

My problem is I really do not understand how paging works and what I am supposed to do to get more than the initial 100 documents. The "find all documents by paging" Corona example in your docs is not Corona code so I'm not sure how to do this. Can you please explain how paging works and give a Corona snippet? I can get the first 100 records but I am unsure how to get more than that and how to tell when I have them all. Do I keep calling the method increasing the offset by 100 until I get an exception?

Thanks,

Scott

Get Scores by User with More than 100 Scores

Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:21:31 +0000

Hi, I would like to present the player with their all-time top 10 scores. The function "getScoresByUser" works well when the player has less than 100 scores but once they have more than 100 scores I can no longer rely on this method as it does not return all of the records. I do not see a getScoresByUserPaging method either. How can I retrieve all of the scores for a particular user? Thanks, Scott

Register Device for Push Notifications Using Corona SDK

Thu, 18 May 2017 00:56:32 +0000

Hi, There are many APIs in the push notification service that use the device token (subscribe, unsubscribe, store device token, etc). My question is how do I get the device token to begin with? I understand that you must register your device with GCM/Firebase to receive the device token but what I do not understand is where that happens. What API within App42 actually registers the device with GCM and receives the device token? Thanks ahead of time! Scott

Escape Backslashes (\) in Storage Service

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 20:01:59 +0000

Hi, I need to store strings in the storage service that may contain backslashes. If I enter this string "\ud83d\ude0a" manually through AppHQ everything works fine but if I programmatically put those characters into a string and use storageService:updateDocumentByKeyValue then it will drop the backslashes and will show as "ud83dude0a" within AppHQ. If I try to escape the backslash using another backslash then it will double the backslashes like so "\\ud83d\\ude0a". How can I get it to store the single backslashes like this "\ud83d\ude0a"? Maybe I am not using the correct escape character? I am using the Corona SDK. Thanks

Enabling Custom Sound with Push Notifications using Corona SDK

Sat, 05 Nov 2016 15:02:44 +0000

Hi,

Do you support sound with push notifications for Corona SDK? I was looking at the "Send Custom Push Message To User In Key Value Or JSON Format" command under Corona which I think might work but it says "Coming soon". Is there a way we can attach our custom sounds with push notifications for Corona?

Thanks,

Scott

Performance Degradation with App42

Sat, 08 Oct 2016 10:53:39 +0000

Hi, We have noticed a significant degradation in performance over the last 36 to 48 hours with all api calls to Shephertz. Queries that have been running in 1 to 2 seconds are now taking 20 to 30 seconds and even longer. What is strange is that the billing and metering section does not show any high response times. Most queries are 100ms or lower which would leave one to believe that it is either network related or our queries are being queued on your servers for some reason. I have tested via wi-fi, wired ethernet and cellular on three different networks and the results are the same; all network activity outside of Shephertz is working normally but api calls to Shephertz are returning very slow. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Scott

setting data with corona, continued

Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:10:16 +0000

Thanks, Rajeev, but the documentation for ACLs doesn't cover Corona so the things I've tried have not worked.

local aclList = {}  
    local acl  = ACL:new()  
    acl:setUser("Tom")  
    acl:setPermission("W")
    aclList[1] = acl 

    storageService.setAclList(aclList);

Storing json data

Fri, 07 Oct 2016 04:53:49 +0000

Thanks, Himanshu but I tried setting the sessionId on the storageService and still can't get data to write. Here are two functions I've been using. The first can read the data, the second can't write it.


--this function works fine

Setting user data via Corona

Wed, 05 Oct 2016 03:01:09 +0000

I'm trying to implement a system that sets data associated with a user in an ACL-enabled app. I'm able to read data set via

userService:addJSONObject( collectionName, Global.user);

using this code:

storageService:findDocumentByKeyValue(dbName, collectionName,key,value,App42CallBackForTest)

It seems there's no difference between data loaded into the storageService with a userService login and data loaded directly through the storageServer. Correct me if I'm wrong about this.

But anyway, when I try to change that data using updateDocument, it doesn't work. I get a Document not found error, despite being able to find it with the findDocumentByKeyValue method.

storageService:updateDocumentByKeyValue(dbName,collectionName,key,value,jsonDoc,App42CallBackForTest)

Do I need to do something with ACLs and user authentication to write the data? If so, how should that be formatted? The docs are unclear about this. Thanks.

Push Notification custom data not working with APP42

Thu, 18 Aug 2016 07:41:57 +0000

Hi,

I have been trying very hard a more than a week to get APP42 push notification with custom data to work. I keep receiving empty table from the push notification on the device. It seems that the custom data is not being push through vua GCM to the device. I have modify the code to do the push via gcm directly and it works perfectly. It seems like a bug in APP42. Also, I noticed that event.sound does not work too. Below is the code in my main.lua to receive the notification.

local function onNotification( event )

if event.type == "remoteRegistration" then

Constants.DeviceToken = event.token

_G.PushToken = event.token

elseif event.type == "remote" then

native.showAlert("Advanced Msg", event.custom.key1 , {"OK"}) -- on APP42 HQ, I have put in key1: 123456

elseif event.type == "local" then

native.showAlert( "Boss Rewards", event.custom.key1 , {"OK"} )

end

Runtime:addEventListener( "notification", onNotification )

local options = {

alert = "Wake up!",

badge = 2,

sound = "notification.wav",

custom = { key1 = "Get a job" }

}

-- TEST LOCAL NOTIFICATION

local utcTime = os.date( "!*t", os.time() + 30 )

local notification = notifications.scheduleNotification( utcTime, options )

local launchArgs = ...

if ( launchArgs and launchArgs.notification ) then

onNotification( launchArgs.notification )

end

Can somebody please help urgently?

Thanks.

Geo location push message

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:50:10 +0000

Hi Vishnu,

Thanks. I am sending via AppHQ Geo location which I have attached a screen shot before. May I know what key value pairs are AppHQ using for the Geo Push Message? If I know, then I can decode it when notification is received. Please advise asap.

Thanks.

what is the key value pair that APP42 use for Geo Push

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 08:40:10 +0000

Hi Vishnu, Thanks for the reply. I know you can use event.custom for extracting the customised geo push data. However, I would like to know what is the key-value pairs that App42 use for Geo Push (see attached). If I know the key-value pairs used, then I can extract the data. Thanks.

How to get the info log for geo push (examples)

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 06:29:51 +0000

Hi Vishnu,

I don't get what you mean. Can you please illustrate with some sample code in Corona?

I have the following in my manilla to listen to the push notification.

end

Runtime:addEventListener( "notification", onNotification )

local launchArgs = ...

if ( launchArgs and launchArgs.notification ) then

onNotification( launchArgs.notification )

end

Kindly enlighten me asap.

Thanks.

Geo based push notifications

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 05:12:13 +0000

Hi, I would like to check if the Geo based push notification is working? I tried it but there are 2 problems. 1. The push notification message received is always empty (ie. message did not appear) 2. Users outside the selected geo location with a radius for push notification (geo fencing) still receives the push notification with empty message. Please help. Thanks.

Is session data deleted when a user is deleted?

Wed, 22 Jun 2016 14:49:36 +0000

When a user is manually deleted from the dashboard, does it also delete the session data that goes with it? It seems like it might not because when I deleted a user from the dashboard and then created a new user with the same name the same session data was still there. If I delete a user it should also delete the associated session data.

Is it possible to pause and restart a timer? In my situation it's not a game timer, it's a utility app where a user is completing a task in a certain amount of time. They need to be able to pause the timer, leave, and then come back and restart the timer where it left off.

How do you upload a file onto the cloud for a specific user with corona sdk?

Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:18:46 +0000

Hi,

I was trying to upload a file for a user to the cloud using the API but it keeps returning an error. Below is my code.

userFilename = "db.sqlite"

fileDescription = "UserDataFile"

filePath = system.pathForFile(nil, system.DocumentsDirectory)

fileType = UploadFileType.OTHER

print ("user document path:"..filePath)

local App42CallBack = {}

App42API:initialize(Constants.apiKey,Constants.secretKey)

local uploadService = App42API:buildUploadService()

print ("OKOKOKOK")

uploadService:uploadFileForUser(userFilename,mobileNumber,filePath ,fileType,fileDescription,App42CallBack)

function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)

print("FileName is :".. object:getFileList():getName());

print("UserName is :".. object:getFileList():getUserName());

print("Type is :".. object:getFileList():getType());

print("Url is :".. object:getFileList():getUrl());

print("Description is: ".. object:getFileList():getDescription());

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 error returned is as below:

16:01:18.132 ERROR: Runtime error

Getting a specific key value using Corona SDK

Wed, 08 Jun 2016 16:45:39 +0000

Can you provide example code that demonstrates how to iterate through values stored in a JSON database collection document and then, more importantly, retrieve a specific key value from that document? Thanks! Brian

Push Notifications not working on IOS with Corona SDK

Sat, 04 Jun 2016 19:51:43 +0000

Hi,

I have followed this tutorial 3 times from scratch and cannot get IOS push notification to work with my app nor from the AppHQ portal. The AppHQ portal shows the IOS devices are registering properly with a device token. When I send a test push from the AppHQ portal, it will say the push was sent successfully but I never receive it on the IOS device. Android push notifications are working properly. I have push logs enabled but there are no error messages generated in the push logs. I do not know how to troubleshoot messages from the time they leave the App42 environment then over to the GCM enviromment then out to the devices.

Thanks ahead of time,

Scott

I Can't use appwarp and app42 Cloud

Sun, 27 Mar 2016 19:49:49 +0000

Hi, I am trying to use both AppWarp and App42 Cloud API on my game. However, once I use require("AppWarp.WarpClient"), I can no longer use storage service. Here is a very simple example I am working with.

local composer = require("composer")

local scene = composer.newScene()

appWarpClient = require("AppWarp.WarpClient")

require("App42-Lua-API.Operator")

require("App42-Lua-API.Permission")

require("App42-Lua-API.GeoOperator")

require("App42-Lua-API.OrderByType")

require("App42-Lua-API.Operator")

local JSON = require("App42-Lua-API.JSON")

local queryBuilder = require("App42-Lua-API.QueryBuilder")

local App42API = require("App42-Lua-API.App42API")

local ACL = require("App42-Lua-API.ACL")

local jsonapi = require("json")

local loadsave = require("loadsave")

local App42CallBack = {}

local dbName = "Players"

local collectionName = "Yugi"

local json = "{\"name\":\"Nick\",\"age\":30,\"phone\":\"xxx-xxx-xxx\"}"

App42API:initialize(API_KEY_42,SECRET_KEY_42)

local storageService = App42API:buildStorageService()

storageService:insertJSONDocument(dbName, collectionName, json,App42CallBack)

function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)

print("dbName is "..object:getDbName())

print("collectionName is "..object:getCollectionName())

print("DocId is "..object:getJsonDocList():getDocId())

print("Created At is "..object:getJsonDocList():getCreatedAt())

print("Updated At is "..object:getJsonDocList():getUpdatedAt())

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

appWarpClient.initialize(API_KEY_42,SECRET_KEY_42)

Nothing difficult. Just trying to get to use both in one file. I am getting the following error however.

C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Apps\Yu-gi-Oh\AppWarp\WarpUtilities.lua:225: attempt to concatenate local 'user' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

[C]: in function 'error'

?: in function 'gotoScene'

C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Apps\Yu-gi-Oh\menu.lua:25: in function '_onEvent'

?: in function '?'

?: in function <?:449>

?: in function <?:205>

I have tried using separate API and Secret Keys by making them separate apps, and I have also tried using them in separate scenes. Once the appwarp scene runs, the app42 scene returns the same error.

I have traced down where the issue is occuring, if I remove storageService, the scene loads, but I need storageService, obviously.

When each file is not connected in any way whatsoever, they work perfectly. It seems like Appwarp and App42 Cloud isn't able to be used together, although I read that it can be.

What am I doing wrong? Could you sow a working example of them integrated?

Thanks.

How to access the data stored in JSON on the database?

Sat, 26 Mar 2016 03:24:17 +0000

Using Corona: I have been struggling with this for over a day now. I have a json file in a collection in a database. I can get my document using its Id.

storageService:findAllDocuments(dbName, collectionName, App42CallBack)

function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)

for i=1, table.getn(object:getJsonDocList()) do

local doc = object:getJsonDocList()[i]:getDocId()

end

Great. I have my document. Now in my document's JSON file, there are values such as "level" = 4. How do I get 4? I need a detailed answer. I read about queries and such, but that only gets me the document all over again. I need the data inside the json file. In my debugger I see: Success is: My document information including my json data I have no idea how to get the data. Thanks.

Delete Collections

Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:20:23 +0000

Hi,

I would like to give my players the ability to delete their account and all the documents (games, leaderboards, etc.) associated with that account. Is there a way to delete collections programmatically outside the AppHQ dashboard? I know I can I use the "deleteAllDocuments" API for each collection but that appears to leave an empty collection behind. I am using the Corona SDK with App42 APIs.

Thanks ahead of time!

how to create my table use JSON APP42 UI? collection means table?

Cannot load documents into a certain collection

Tue, 02 Feb 2016 21:13:22 +0000

I have a collection called games_pandakin that I cannot add documents to nor can I remove the empty collection itself. My callback function receives success notifications but no documents are added. Could it be the underscore character (_) in the name? All my other collections have the same underscore character and are working as they should. It appears this one collection is corrupt somehow. Thanks, Scott

Push notifications are slow when sent from mobile app

Tue, 26 Jan 2016 19:51:59 +0000

Hi, when sending push notifications via the AppHQ website, I receive them within a second or two which is great. When I use my mobile app to send them, they are taking 5 to 10 minutes. I am not having any issues reaching the Shephertz cloud and all other APIs such as authentication and storage services are performing very well. It is only when I push a message from the mobile app to another user that the slowness is noticeable. When I watch the push logs on the AppHQ website I can tell that the delay is from the mobile app to AppHQ because it takes awhile for the message to show up in the push logs. Once I see the message in the logs, the mobile device receives the push in just a second or two after that. I am using Corona with Android devices. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Scott
