Difficulty with ARCore Anchor Demo for Android

[econiglio]

I was getting an error message and now I'm not. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I created a new API key.

MainActivity.txt

AndroidManifest.txt (link removed)

I deleted the link to the manifest that contained your API key, but you should probably still revoke it and generate a new one.

I can't help debug this without more information. What error message were you seeing? Please provide a logcat capture for at least ~1 second prior to the error/exception being generated.

[econiglio]

The error message said something along the lines of "Error hosting anchor."

This means that you are unable to communicate with the server. Please make sure that your device is connected to the internet and communication with Google's servers is not being blocked by any firewalls.

[econiglio]

Okay thank you. How do I prevent the firewall block?

@econiglio Sorry about letting this one fall through the cracks.

Are you in a country with restricted global internet access or on a corporate or academic network with agressive filtering? If so, Cloud Anchors will not work.

I believe my work's server is blocking the API request. I am based in the USA

Try loading https://arcorecloudanchor.googleapis.com/ on the device. If you get a 404, then network blocking is not the problem. If it never loads or you get a network error, you'll need a firewall exception.
