This question is specific to a lately strange behavior of the Azure mobile Apps Android sdk. Everything was working fine for weeks. Now, my android client app suddenly can't connect to my web app any more. A Toast says "Error while processing request". In Android Studio debugger, I found the exception inside the SDK file MobileServiceConnection.java.
java.io.IOException: stream was reset: PROTOCOL_ERROR
In Azure Portal, my app shows "Healthy" status, but I can see the HTTP errors. Please help. Following is my code, which was working fine and now throws error.
// Create the Mobile Service Client instance, using the provided mobile app URL.
try {
mClient = new MobileServiceClient(mMobileBackendUrl, activityContext).withFilter(
new ServiceFilter() {
@Override
public ListenableFuture<ServiceFilterResponse> handleRequest(ServiceFilterRequest request, NextServiceFilterCallback nextServiceFilter) {
// Get the request contents
String url = request.getUrl();
String content = request.getContent();
if (url != null) {
Log.d("Request URL:", url);
}
if (content != null) {
Log.d("Request Content:", content);
}
// Execute the next service filter in the chain
ListenableFuture<ServiceFilterResponse> responseFuture = nextServiceFilter.onNext(request);
Futures.addCallback(responseFuture, new FutureCallback<ServiceFilterResponse>() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Throwable exception) {
Log.d("Exception:", exception.getMessage());
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(ServiceFilterResponse response) {
if (response != null && response.getContent() != null) {
Log.d("Response Content:", response.getContent());
}
}
});
return responseFuture;
}
}
);
setAzureClient(mClient);
}catch(MalformedURLException e){
createAndShowDialog(new Exception("There was an error creating the Mobile Service. Verify the URL"), "Error");
}catch(Exception e){
createAndShowDialog("There was an error creating the Mobile Service. "+ e.toString(), "Error");
}
Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.online_authentication), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
authenticate();
}
private void authenticate() { // give access only to authenticated users via Google account authentication
HashMap<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<>();
parameters.put("access_type", "offline");//use "Refresh tokens"
//login with the Google provider. This will create a call to onActivityResult() method inside the context Activity, which will then call the onActivityResult() below.
mClient.login(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Google, url_scheme_of_your_app, GOOGLE_LOGIN_REQUEST_CODE, parameters);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
// When request completes
if (requestCode == 1) {
try {
MobileServiceActivityResult result = mClient.onActivityResult(data);
if (result.isLoggedIn()) {
Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.azure_auth_login_success) /*+ " " + mClient.getCurrentUser().getUserId()*/, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mUserId = mClient.getCurrentUser().getUserId();
} else {//>>>>THIS IS WHERE I AM GETTING THE ERROR
String errorMessage = result.getErrorMessage();
Toast.makeText(context, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();// Error While processing request (it comes form the MobileServiceConnection.java file inside sdk)
}
}catch(Exception e){
Toast.makeText(context, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
I found the answer myself. The error was due to an Azure App Service HTTP2 connection issue. It has nothing to do with the app code. For anyone facing the same problem, here is the solution.
