Android Question Downloading files is inconsistent

[Carthalion]

Downloading files works, but not all files every time. There are 24 downloads. Sometimes it downloads all the files but sometimes only half.

Is there a way to make this more consistent? Only downloading six and a time?

Another idea...is there a way to pre-install these files in DirRootExternal as part of the .apk file?

Also, I tried to use the code editor. Sorry about that. Next time, I hope.

Sub GetFiles
Dim job1 As HttpJob
job1.Initialize("job1", Me)
job1.Download("http://www.mysite.com/" & FolderName & "/textfiles/InetLolo.txt")

Dim job2 As HttpJob
job2.Initialize("job2", Me)
job2.Download("http://www.mysite.com/" & FolderName & "/textfiles/InetLo.txt")

End Sub

Select job.jobName
Case "job1"
Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, "QQFiles/InetLolo.txt", False)
File.Copy2(job.GetInputStream, out)
out.Close

Case "job2"
Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, "QQFiles/InetLo.txt", False)
File.Copy2(job.GetInputStream, out)
out.Close
End Select

Please use option where you insert code:

You can place them in your FILES folder and on appstart copy them to the folder you want (if not already exists)

Look THIS Thread.

Your error is here:

File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, "QQFiles/InetLimits.txt", False)

so i think ( you must try )

File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal & "/QQFiles/", "InetLimits.txt", False)

Anyway for future when you insert new Thread, pls, write more information type: what you see in LOG WINDOWS, etc.

File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal & "/QQFiles/", "InetLimits.txt", False)

I did try this and it has too many parameters. I appreciate your response however.

Additionally, I found something that might help explain. When I step through the code, all 24 files are read and then written. Any idea why this would matter? Or any ideas about how to pursue this as a solution?

Now I see where to enter the code. I was trying using the BB Code Editor. Thank you for showing me. (Above)

This does solve my dilemma. I do not know why, but if the files are already there, then they will read and rewrite again every time.
