Async HTTP

[jscoulter]

Hi.
I Have been doing some stuff with HTTP to request some JSON data from a service, but from the examples I have seen and worked with, I can execute an HTTP request (or rather I am) but I have to get the result in an event handler SUB.
I would really like to be able to get the data Asynchronously.

Something like:

Dim sResult as String
sResult = HttpClient1.Execute(oHTTP, 1)
MsgDlg(sResult,"")

a but link when you do an Ajax HTTP request. You can do Asynchronously or Synchronously.
Is this possible in B4A?

You mean that you want to get the data synchronously, right? (it is currently asynchronously).

Blocking the UI thread which is the thread you are working with will lead to ANR: Application Not Responding dialog. It appears after about 5 seconds.

DUH....yes you are right....I had it the wrong way round...it was nearly midnight local time when I did it....so thats my excuse

Ok, so its a no. Thats ok, I can deal with that. Just trying to minimize code as usual
