MobileFirst 7.1 - Issue with JSONStore Hybrid App when deployed on Android

Question

I am trying to use JSONStore for one of the requirement.

And as it is hybrid app I configured it by following Procedure

Using the Application Descriptor Editor, open the file application-descriptor.xml Click the Design tab. Under Overview, expand Application [your application's name]. Click Optional Features. Click Add. Select JSONStore. Click Ok. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the folder that is titled with your application name. Click Run As. Click Run on MobileFirst Development Server.

Here is the sample code I use to create the document in JSONStore. I followed the instruction given in this documentation.

WL.Logger.debug ("Successfully connected to MobileFirst Server.");

    var collectionName = 'SomeFlag';

    if(WL.JSONStore.get(collectionName) == null && WL.JSONStore.get(collectionName) == undefined){      
        // Object that defines all the collections.
        var collections = {

          // Object that defines the 'people' collection.
                userAgreement : {

            // Object that defines the Search Fields for the 'people' collection.
            searchFields : {someFlag: 'boolean'}
          }
        };

        // Optional options object.
        var options = {
          localKeyGen : false
        };

        WL.JSONStore.init(collections, options)

        .then(function () {
          var data = [{someFlag: false}];

          // Optional options for add.
          var addOptions = {

            // Mark data as dirty (true = yes, false = no), default true.
            markDirty: true
          };

          // Get an accessor to the people collection and add data.
          return WL.JSONStore.get(collectionName).add(data, addOptions);
        })

        .then(function (numberOfDocumentsAdded) {
            WL.Logger.debug ("Number Of Documents Added " +numberOfDocumentsAdded);
            alert ("Number Of Documents Added " +numberOfDocumentsAdded);
          // Add was successful.
        })

        .fail(function (errorObject) {
           // Handle failure for any of the previous JSONStore operations (init, add).
            WL.Logger.debug ("JSONStore Failed to add any document errorObject " +errorObject);
        });
    }

When running in Android the JSONStore creation fails.

Answer 1

Finally got it working. I found that jsonstore.jar was not included in my Android project lib which caused this error.

Answer 2

I am using the same build as mentioned in the comments and was able to successfully run JSONStore w/out encountering this error.

1. Create a new Hybrid app and added the Android environment
2. Added the JSONStore optional feature

3. Added the following code in common/js/main.js > wlCommonInit():

   function wlCommonInit(){
       var collectionName = 'people';
   
       // Object that defines all the collections.
       var collections = {
           // Object that defines the 'people' collection.
           people : {
               // Object that defines the Search Fields for the 'people' collection.
              searchFields : {name: 'string', age: 'integer'}
           }
       };
   
       // Optional options object.
       var options = {
           // Optional username, default 'jsonstore'.
           username : 'carlos',
   
           // Optional password, default no password.
           password : '123',
   
           // Optional local key generation flag, default false.
           localKeyGen : false
       };
   
       WL.JSONStore.init(collections, options)
   
       .then(function () {
           alert ("success");
       });
   }
   

I launched the application in the Android Emulator and the alert displayed.
