Is there a reason why the Blog Reader app without modifications doesn't work with mobile data, only Wifi?
I created the app following the track steps, and tried to use it witouth wifi only mobile data and always get the message of error we created (not the toast for network down)
Perhaps Ben Jakuben can give me a hint

Treehouse TeacherCan you copy and paste details about the error from logcat? It should work over mobile data as well. If there aren't any error details in logcat, can you try stepping through the code using the debugger?

4,067 PointsAwesome! it all works flawlessly now thanks Ben Jakuben I can even request data from other blogs
Now one more little thing:
Do you know if the JSON API for wordpress has changed since the only way i can parse the data from other blogs i own is with the get_recent_posts method and there is no get_recent_summary

This is a known issue with the blog reader code. Check the Teacher's Notes on the video page for a solution. I'll also be refreshing this course next, though it'll be at least a month before it's available.
