Do you use the NEW okHttpUtils libraries? They replace the old ones.

Which error do you get?

OkHttpUtils2 should be supported by Android 2.3+.

As it says: You use illegal characters. Use Download2 instead of Download as it converts the string.

By the way: Where are those commata from? ",,,,,,,,,N*53" ?

yes, i see "illegal characters", but in other device with android 4.2 i don't have it.

is GPS data, in this case, is gprmc format

Try to encode URL

You should use Job.Download2 to encode the parameters.

ok, i try this... but, why works in 4.2 and not in 2.3.7?

 

[Erel]

Hard to say. The $ character should be escaped.

They added more comfort for the lazy developers like me

However: Be careful not to use "special characters" non-escaped. It's a delight for hackers (see f.e. SQL-injection). If this is your site, you MUST check the data you get. Otherwise it is very easy to hack you site!

i don't know that... what's mean non-escaped?

This happened to you. You have sent characters which function as control chars or just produce false values.

You send a message like this

"http://www.avalon.cl:8080/gprmc/Data?acct=estampa&dev=PDA01&gprmc=" & AuxSentence

If I put a & in AuxSentence, how would the complete string look like?

"http://www.avalon.cl:8080/gprmc/Data?acct=estampa&dev=PDA01&gprmc=&

Here the call would not work because & is a control value to seperate the values.

Escaping means to replace that & to chars which are harmless (here %26). The new call looks like this

"http://www.avalon.cl:8080/gprmc/Data?acct=estampa&dev=PDA01&gprmc=%26

This is what URLENCODE in Download2 does automatic.
