The attached project includes a slightly modified version of HttpUtils2 and a new service named DownloadService. The purpose of DownloadService is to make it simple to download files of any size.

SS-2013-06-13_17.34.35.png


It is very simple to use this service.

Start a download:
B4X: 
Sub btnDownload_Click
   Dim dd As DownloadData
   dd.url = link1 '<--- download link
   dd.EventName = "dd"
   dd.Target = Me
   CallSubDelayed2(DownloadService, "StartDownload", dd)
End Sub

Handle the events:
B4X: 
Sub dd_Progress(Progress As Long, Total As Long)
   ProgressBar1.Progress = Progress / Total * 100
   Label1.Text = NumberFormat(Progress / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB / " & _
      NumberFormat(Total / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB"
End Sub

Sub dd_Complete(Job As HttpJob)
   Log("Job completed: " & Job.Success)
   Job.Release
End Sub

Cancel a download:
B4X: 
Sub btnCancel_Click
   CallSubDelayed2(DownloadService, "CancelDownload", link1)
End Sub

DownloadService allows you to download multiple files at once and track the progress of each one of them.

The following libraries are required:
OkHttp
StringUtils
Phone (required in order to acquire a partial lock during the download)
RandomAccessFile

As this is a modified version of OkHttpUtils2 you should not reference OkHttpUtils2 library. You should instead add the three modules from the attached project. Note that the modified code is in Sub hc_ResponseSuccess.

Without posting the error you say you get it is hard to imagine what you are doing.....

LEARN TO WRITE GOOD HELP-REQUESTS!

- Post the code you are using (not part of them. better the project exported as zip)
- and the EXACT error you got (NOT A JPG, the error from log as text).
- describe when exactly you get this error and what you have tried so far (the code you tried)

With the infos you provided i just can use a wonderglas or even guess something which could be the problem! I don´t want to help with so much less informations provided!

.
.

For the others who read this here; i got an personal mail from @ibra939 to help with this problem and he gave me just the link to page 7 of this thread. That´s all... So i read the last post and read a "i´ll try it"... lol

With 2 event names and 2 progress subs!

B4X: 
Sub Button1_Click
Dim download1 As DownloadData
download1.url = "http://file1.com"
download1.EventName = "download1"
download1.Target = Me
end sub

Sub Button2_Click
Dim download2 As DownloadData
download2.url = "http://file1.com"
download2.EventName = "download2"
download2.Target = Me
end sub

Sub download1_Progress(Progress As Long, Total As Long)
ProgressBar1.Progress = Progress / Total * 100
Label1.Text = NumberFormat(Progress / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB / " & _
NumberFormat(Total / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB"
End Sub

Sub download2_Progress(Progress As Long, Total As Long)
ProgressBar1.Progress = Progress / Total * 100
Label1.Text = NumberFormat(Progress / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB / " & _
NumberFormat(Total / 1024, 0, 0) & "KB"
End Sub

Thanks you for this suggestion, but How can I do if I want to download a lot of files without knowing about the number of downloads (I can say the number of progress subs) in advance?

Do you want to download all of these files at once?

You can create a class instance for each download that will handle the event (set it with the Target parameter). However you are probably making it more complicated than it should be.

You can decide to download up to 3 files at once and then start the next download each time the previous one completes. The overall download time will most probably be the same.

For this method, do we still need to write many progress subs by hand? For example,
sub download2_Progress, sub
download3_Progress,...?
