I've added a custom url page on my app and it does not take me anywhere on the android emulator. It gives me a blank grey screen. Any suggestions? Thanks Anthony

Hi Doc... this is troubling. Any other clues? Blank gray screens normally mean the device 'tried' to load the page but could not. Post the URL and we'll get a look. Still NOT happy that I havn't made that other calculator - wink.

http://soundcloud.com/groovey-tunes http://soundcloud.com/groovey-tunes-hot-tracks The URL's work fine outside the android environment. Tested the custom URL feature with a generic webpage like itunes and it populated perfectly on the emulator. For some reason these links bring me a grey page all the time.

OK, I did some extensive testing on these URL's. They are serving-up some VERY complicated HTML with all sorts of 'magic' happening to play the tunes. And, they don't work in any device I can find. I've tested on several different devices with three different Android Operating Systems. Could it be that soundcloud provides a different URL for the same content in a mobile format? If you use the Android native browser, you are redirected to http://m.soundcloud.com/groovey-tunes and it works. This means it's working in Android but not in the built-in browser in your app. Not sure why. I've updated the download server with a work-around, feel free to re-fetch the project. Or, you can add one simple line to your existing project: /src/Activity_ActBase.java, you see on about line 165 where the code is checking the URL for a YouTube video. We also want to check it for soundcloud. If the URL contains 'soundcloud.com' then don't use the built in browser and instead use the native browser: //url contains soundcloud if(jsonString.contains(''soundcloud.com'')){ useMyIntent = 0; } Copy/paste that right under the YouTube block...double quotes around 'soundcloud.com' (forum removes double quotes). This will force the phone to use the native browser for soundcloud files.

Re-fetched and installed. Tested on emulator and getting same grey screen. So confused.Still not working.

Open up the Activity_ActBase.java in your latest download...does it show the //if url contains soundcloud.com addition? If it does, do these URL's open in the Native Browser or are they still opening in the built-in browser in your app. If you're seeing the gray screen it sounds like they are still opening in the native browser. We need to get them to open in the Native Browser. SEe if that code addition is in that file. If it is...something's not adding up

// url contains soundcloud is there.

Looks like native browser is trying to open. I get the status bar that is why i am assumming its native. Then it goes grey after download completes.

OK, good, this is what we want. So, if the native browser isn't opening it...you may have a funky simulator setup. I have a few sims here that DO open it in the native browser and a few that don't. Three testing devices here ALL open the file on the actual device. Can you install on a device. What type of device?

let me try to download it from the marketplace and see what happens. maybe my simulator. will advise shortly

Downloaded it on a samsung galaxy epic from the android marketplace and the hot tracks has a white screen and mixes has a grey screen. Both screens do not populate website

Downloaded app from the android marketplace to see if it worked in a live environment and it does not. Same grey screens populate on both menus. The device was a samsung galaxy epic.

Can this Galaxy load the same URL when you type the address in the address bar of it's Native Browser? You app is launching that URL to that URL. If it doesn't work, I'm not sure how else to advise? There are countless things soundcloud 'could' be doing to cause this..it's their HTML and their client side Javascript detection or whatever. See if it loads in the native browser.
