Solution for - Magento cart.totals API Returns Zero After Adding Product

Hello,

Recently in one of my project I was working with Magento SOAP APIs. Where we have used Magento cart.create API to create Magento cart and adding items to it. Now every time I add items I want to refresh totals. So I used cart_product.add API and after that used cart.totals API to get totals. But strangely it was always returning zero, no matter how many products are there. I tried to find out a solutions for it and did some tests and in one of the test I found out that if after creating a cart if I do operations like setting shipping address or add coupons, it was giving accurate totals.  That's really strange. I tried to find out issue for it but I am not magento expert to finally I came up with following solution. After creating  cart, I set dummy billing and shipping address immediately. And then when I add a product and get totals, it was giving me accurate result.

Please note this is not the best solution, but if you want to use you can use this. This will solve your problem. If any magento expert can debug API code and resolve this issue please post solution.

So here is what you have to do.

//Create a Quote

$client = new SoapClient($baseurl.'/api/soap/?wsdl');
$session = $client->login(USER,PASS);
$quote_id = $client->call( $session, 'cart.create', array($_storeId) );

//Add dummy shipping and billing address

$arrAddresses = array(
array(
"mode" => "shipping",
"firstname" => "testFirstname",
"lastname" => "testLastname",
"company" => "testCompany",
"street" => "testStreet",
"city" => "testCity",
"region" => "testRegion",
"postcode" => "testPostcode",
"country_id" => "id",
"telephone" => "0123456789",
"fax" => "0123456789",
"is_default_shipping" => 0,
"is_default_billing" => 0
),
array(
"mode" => "billing",
"firstname" => "testFirstname",
"lastname" => "testLastname",
"company" => "testCompany",
"street" => "testStreet",
"city" => "testCity",
"region" => "testRegion",
"postcode" => "testPostcode",
"country_id" => "id",
"telephone" => "0123456789",
"fax" => "0123456789",
"is_default_shipping" => 0,
"is_default_billing" => 0
)
);
$resultCustomerAddresses = $client->call($session, "cart_customer.addresses", array($quote_id, $arrAddresses));


//Now add a product to cart

$resultCartProductAdd = $client->call(
$session,
"cart_product.add",
array(
$quote_id,
$arrProducts
)
);

//Now get the cart info

$result = $client->call($session, 'cart.totals', $quote_id);
echo json_encode($result);

Hope this helps you and solve your problem.

Eclipse Android Java Build Path Error

Hello,

This is small and quick blog on an issue I faced today. I was working on Cordova android project and I updated my Java version and JRE and suddenly I got following error after clean and re building entire work space.

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved.

I tried several solutions as usual like removing JAR file references and re add them. Quit eclipse and restart it etc. Still the problem persists. So as all software engineer do, I tried to search on Google and Stackoverflow and find out the same solutions which I already tried. I kept looking for some time and quick applying solutions again and again but this error does not go away. So finally I decided to take backup my current project and start making changes in other copy.

Tried so many things and did refresh workspace so many times. Did clean and rebuild entire workspace but it wasn't working. Finally I solved it by following step.

1) Go to project explorer and right click on project
2) Select properties.
3) On left side choose Project References.

Once you select this on left, right side you will get your project references with check marks on left side. If you see them un checked as show in following screenshot.

Then this is the problem. Check all the check boxes of references and click on ok. Now again clean and refresh entire workspace and above error won't be there anymore.

Hope this helps you and saves your time.

Cordova Android Build Failed (build.xml)- Using old SDK path (Cordova Update Android SDK)

Hello,

Recently in one of my cordova project I faced an issue. When I created a project, I was using adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030 SDK. Later I upgraded my SDK to new one adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702. Everything was working good since I updated this new SDK path in my .bash_profile file So creating new project was working.

After few months I have to add a new cordova plugin in project which I crated with old sdk. Plugin was added but when I tried to build android project, the build was failed since it was referring to old SDK path which does not exits anymore. I spent an hour to look for a solution to Google but could't find any solution. Later I checked build.xml file and found out that it was using env.ANDROID_HOME  variable to get SDK path. I added following two lines in .bash_profile.

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/hirendave/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk

export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${env.ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

And tried to build again but it was not working. Again I spent some time to find out a solution on Google but could not get it working. I again checked build.xml and suddenly following line caught my attention.

<fail

            message="sdk.dir is missing. Make sure to generate local.properties using 'android update project' or to inject it through the ANDROID_HOME environment variable."

            unless="sdk.dir"

    />

I tried to search local. properties files, it was not there. So I generated it with android update project. Following are exact steps you need to do. First go to your cordova project directory and run following commands.

cd platforms

cd android

android update project -p .

This will update your android project and generated new local.properties files with latest SDK path and other configurations.

Now go to CordovaLib project and repeat the same steps.

cd CordovaLib

cd android update project -p .

This will update your CordovaLib project and generated new local.properties files with latest SDK path and other configurations.

That's it now run following command and it will build successfully.

cordova build android

Hope this helps you and saves your time.
