Hi chetino,

1. welcome to the forum! :D
2. Did you check the "browser widget" on the "Copy files" tab of the "standalone application bullder" settings?
Right now we need to do this manually in LC 8.x.


Best

Klaus

Also make sure that "Internet" is checked in the Android pane in standalone settings. That sets the permissions for the app.

Hi,

I checked the "Internet" on the Standalone Application Settings and add the widget browser. But when I install the app on the Samsung Galaxy S6 the App does not ask me to give the internet permission, and the result is that the app does not navigate.

What do you think? Ideas?

Thank you a lot!

Choose "select inclusions" in the General pane, not "search for inclusions." In the Script Libraries list, choose Internet. If you are using any other libraries you need to select those too.

If you are not using a browser widget you don't need to select that in Copy Files, but it won't hurt if you leave it there.

I set Internet, Browser & Internet in "Select inclusions..."

In the Application Permissions: "Internet"

but the app doesn't work.

When I install the app, it only ask me for location permissions.... but no for internet access.

Any other idea?

Delete all copies of the app on your Android device, then install the new one.

If you do not change the build number in Android standalone settings, the new app will not install. It appears to install but does not really do it, and the old one remains active. There are two ways to fix this:

1. Delete all old copies from the device before installing a new app
2. Increase the build number and the new app will overwrite the old one. (This is how you release updates.)

I put a new code version, delete the app on the android, restart the android, but it is the same.

I don't know what is going on.

It should work now, I don't know why it doesn't. Did you try accessing the internet? The app may not be telling you about permissions but will work anyway.

Try setting the minimum version to Honeycomb.

I decompile the apk to see the manifest file: I see the Internet Permission is declared.
