Android Question Best Solution for create a library to use HttpJob

Alberto Iglesias · Jun 19, 2019

Hello everyone,

I will create some library .b4xlib to make requests to make life easy on both platforms.

What's the best solution for create this?

In my mind, I think for to this is create a service on .b4xlib for B4A and Module for B4i, is that better option?

B4X:

Dim j As HttpJob
j.Initialize("", Me)
j.Download(strEndpoint)
       
Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
If j.Success Then
End If

Use OkHttpUtils2...

The code you posted is very simple. I don't see how putting it in a library will make things simpler.

Because we have some code sharing for both platforms and supose you have a method in this shared code to get informations from webservice.

for B4i is OK, you can put on the same shared code (module), but for B4A you need a activity to get the response.

No you don't.

Best way to share this code is to put it in a class that is initialized from the starter service in B4A.

Exactly, but B4i dont have a service, this is my question

The goes into the class, not the service.

Great! And thinking about this class, do you know if is a good idea to create a .b4xlib with this for using on both platforms?

Erel · Jun 19, 2019

It depends on the nature of this class.
Start with the simplest solution which is to directly share the class between the two projects.

If you later reach the conclusion that this class is modular and can be used in many other projects then it makes sense to convert it to a b4xlib. In most cases the direct sharing is the better approach.
