Hi,

After I was adviced how to add new events to an android app I've been
trying to
load  a web-page :

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/main/index.html

with OpenURL and  LoadHTMLPageViaJNI

in OpenURL the request is modified to
http:%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fmission_pages%2Fmars%2Fmain%2Findex.html

and when using LoadHTMLPageViaJNI I don't get anything

How shall I do to get the request right, guess it's something about
encoding or
escaping characters?

Thanks in advance
stab

I'd first test openurl on another platform (Linux, Windows, OSX), read
any documentation on it and if necessary file a bug.
Your URL seems to work when run on Laz trunk x86 on Windowx ...

Thanks BigChimp,

Checked out trunk, followed README.txt guide to make clean bigide but
there must be somethng that I don't understand. Because when I start
Lazarus via Lazarus.exe in trunk it seems to start Lazarus 1.1 that is
installed from Lazarus-1.1-39275-fpc-2.6.1-20121113-win64.exe.
I used lazarus1.1\fpc\2.6.1\bin\x86_64-win64\make.exe.

I don't find any ftp-directory in the trunk-directory after make.

Am I doing wrong and what am I supposed to do?

No idea about ftp directories etc... I usually use fpcup to get new
Lazarus.

Regardless, if you're sure you called the correct Lazarus exe (with
the correct primary config path, assuming you want to separate
multiple Lazarus versions), a simple rebuild from the IDE tools menu
works for me as well after updating Lazarus sources.

My Lazarus trunk says 1.1 and the SVN revision is around 39277... so
those numbers seem ok? Have you been using a snapshot before this? If
so, you are on trunk as it existed on that day.

Finally: why did you change to trunk? Are there android fixes in
there?
