Android Question async file write.

[kanaida]

I'm trying to write to a file with ought hanging the ui. I've tried a service but it hangs. Any ideas? It's a large file.

You can use AsyncStreams to write to a file asynchronously. However in most cases there are simpler alternatives. What exactly are you writing?

Can't you use a database file instead?

Muhahaha Top Secret this time. I'll make a donation when i'm finished.

I tried using the async streams library. It brings up the wait/close dialog. Is there a way to make it not come up during long running operations? It needs to write for a long period of time. A database would not be suitable as it's a new format.

AsyncStreams never blocks the main thread. However the code that calls AStream.Write can block the main thread. It is hard to assist without seeing any of the code. You can add DoEvents to prevent the ANR dialog.
