ESP8266 App works in Viewer but not stand alone in Cordoba

[kosmonout]

Tried the ESP8266 demo in the Evo things viewer. It works there perfectly and I can remotely switch a led on and off.

Followed one to one the Cordova guide to setup the compilation environment.
I compiled the same code succesfully in Cordova and upload it to my Phone. After executing the app I got the connecting screen and try to connect to esp8266 (filled in the correct IP of course) and no succes. It stays in the connect screen and do not even time out on the netwerk connection (what happens in the viewer if the esp is not reachable).

What could be the problem?

Android version 5.1.1

Hi!

In order to be successful, you'll need to add Chromium Socket TCP plugin in your build.

Code: Select all

cordova plugin add org.chromium.socket.tcp

Good luck!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your quick answer!!

Unfortunately I was not able to install the plugin. Installing other plugins like the vibration plugin worked flawless.

This is what I got as output:

Fetching plugin "org.chromium.socket.tcp" via plugin registry

Do you have an alternative plugin?

Greetings,

Sorry I got it wrong, it was "sockets", not "socket", my typo, so org.chromium.sockets.tcp

Source: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/sockets_tcp

Please have another go! BTW, here is a list of all the plugins pre-packaged inside the Viewer app:

Note that the JavaScript source files for the plugins are packaged into the Evothings Viewer app. You don't need to explicitly include these files in your HTML code, they are included automatically with cordova.js.
