retrieve and save data to the cloud

[Stephdidou]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an Android app where I can send notifications to users.

In order to send notification to the users, I need their devices ID.

So I'd like to retrieve this info and send it to my server.

For saving the ID here's what I did :

private function pn_registerSuccessHandler( event:PushNotificationEvent ):void
  {
  message( "PN registration succeeded with reg ID: \n" + event.data  );
  _idField.text = event.data;
  mySharedObject.data._idField = event.data;
         mySharedObject.flush();
  sendData();
  }

But what should I put in my sendData function in order to send, in a text format, the informations ?

Thank you for your answers,

Hmm my question wasn't about how to retrieve the device ID, but how to save and send data to the cloud.

Can I send the information in mySharedObject to a website ?

Steps I'd like to do (but don't know how) :

- Convert mySharedObject into a json or text format

- send the txt file or json file to http://www.exemple.com/data.txt

Thank you !

use the urlloader class to send data to your server.  the only tricky part is, "I need their devices ID" and that's why i posted the link in message 1.

I'm trying to use urlLoader but it's not working and I don't know why..

I've created a php file that I have uploaded. Here's the php code :

<?php

$psPreRegEmail=$_POST['sEml'];

$FRM_ID=$_POST['sID'];

$psBD=$_POST['sBD'];

echo "email=".$psPreRegEmail;

echo "&id=".$FRM_ID;

echo "&db=".$psBD;

?>

Here is my AS3 code :

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mysite.fr/login.php");

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();//create a variable container

variables.sEml = "steph4";

variables.sID = "steph5";

variables.sBD = "steph6";

request.data = variables;//add the data to our containers

request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;//select the method as post

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);

loader.load(request);//send the request with URLLoader()

function handleComplete(event:Event)

{

var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);

var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader.data);

//Access data from the PHP file

trace("vars.email: "+vars.email);

trace("vars.id: "+vars.id);

trace("vars.db: "+vars.db);

}

No errors, but when I'm going at http://www.mysite.fr/login.php it displays : email=&id=&db=

Why don't I see : ???

email=steph4

id=steph5

db=steph6

Thx

I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to send data from an AIR app to a php file on a server ??

i don't see a problem with your code, but i'm not sure how you're checking trace output from your air app.

Of course it is.
