manage your data

Let’s create a small Android app that interacts with your user twice. The first dialog asks the
user to confirm the web address and port to use for the web server. Assuming your user taps
the OK button on your dialog, a second dialog pops up to request the timing value to send to the
server. As with the first dialog, tapping the OK button continues execution by sending the newly
acquired timing value to the web server. Tapping Cancel at any time causes your app to exit.
Some of the code is provided for you. Your job is to complete the program. Write the code you
think you need under this code, and call your program get2inputsapp.py:

import android
from urllib import urlencode
from urllib2 import urlopen
There’s
nothing new server_title = 'Which server should I use?’
here…you’ve server_msg = "Please confirm the server address/name to use for your athlete's timing data:"
seen all of timing_title = 'Enter data'
this code timing_msg = 'Provide a new timing value:'
before. web_server = 'http://192.168.1.33:8080'

add_time_cgi = '/cgi-bin/add_timing_data.py'

app = android.Android()

def send_to_server(url, post_data=None):
if post_data:
page = urlopen(url, urlencode(post_data))
else:
page = urlopen(url)
return(page.read().decode("utf8"))
