If you are using v3.80 then you can create this JSON object with this code:

B4X:

JsonGenerator.Initialize(CreateMap("id": "0", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "params": CreateMap("text": "MyTextHere", "done": false)))

Maybe you have buyed B4A in January 2012... Then the 2 Years of updates are gone... You should contact info@basic4ppc.com and ask for an discount to get a new subscription

sigster · May 15, 2014

I have new subscription thanks B4A v3.80 is not publish and I still have this error

java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid double: "http://My_IPADRESS:8080/jsonrpc"

Which line causes this error? The error message is correct. This string is not a valid number...

sigster · May 15, 2014

Hi

I get error on this line

postProdJob.PostString(Lab_ipaddress.Text, JSONGenerator.ToString())

I read connection string from txt file into Lab_ipaddress.text
= LoadINI_settings

Can you post the full error message from the logs?

Note that you shouldn't release the job before JobDone is fired.

sigster · May 15, 2014

Hi

DonManfred, Erel Thanks for replay !

I add this to the code and it fine know

Dim connect_url As String = Lab_ipaddress.Text

B4X:

      Dim connect_url2 As String = Lab_ipaddress.Text        
      postProdJob.Initialize("JOB2", Me)
      postProdJob.PostString(connect_url, JSONGenerator.ToString())           
      postProdJob.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")                   
      postProdJob.Release

Regards
Sigster

Erel · May 16, 2014

You shouldn't call Release at that point. You should call job.Release at the end of JobDone sub.

Hi

Thanks Erel

Finish to find out how to send text to search box in XBMC

if someone download the zip source code and want to use it
in XBMC you need to go to System/Services/Remote control and check in "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC"

B4X:

        Dim job2 As HttpJob

        job2.Initialize("Job2", Me)
 
        Dim connect_url2 As String = Lab_ipaddress.Text & "jsonrpc?request="
        Dim send_command As String = "{""id"":""0"",""jsonrpc"":""2.0"",""method"":""Input.SendText"",""params"":{""text"":"""& Txt_senda_texta.Text &""",""done"":true}}"

        Dim job2 As HttpJob
        job2.Initialize("job2", Me)
        job2.PostString (connect_url2, send_command)
          job2.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

Hello all,

I am trying to play several videos back to back from an Raspberry Pi running the latest XBMC (RaspBMC). However, I am wanting to use an android tablet to select some videos over the network (residing on a Network Attached Storage - NAS) into a que and tell the XBMC server to play them sequentially. I think the JSON-RPC to XBMC is the way to go, but am not really that familiar with JSON-RPC or XBMC.

I have an RPI based xbmc server up and running and will need to configure it to "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC" as sigster says above. I am also just now starting on the android code and will keep you posted if / as I run into any difficulties.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated along the way.
Thanks
Kevin

Thanks for sharing Sigster, the buttons seem to do the job (connected to my RPi running Raspbian), I'm going to play with it and learn about the Kobi/XBMC interface

Cheers,

walt61
