Can not display username when using Cordova

My code works perfectly fine when I use it locally and can access the server (using XAMPP).
However, when I run it through Cordova I can not display the username. The username is saved as a $_SESSION variable in the login.php file when the user logs in, but gets the error message Warning: Undefined array key “username”.
The postings of the web application are shown, so I know I can access the server when using Cordova as well.

In the HTML file, the displayUserName() function is called onload which sends a request to displayName.php.

The displayAllPosts() function works.

Any help would be appreciated.
