Hi all,
we have a snowing day today, so why not to port an old app to the B4xPages framework?
One feature of the app is the need to download many (30-150) small png files from a remote server (on which I have full control). Once downloaded they need to remain on local storage to avoid any additional download of those same files at a later time (day).
Images will be showed upon request in the app (B4xImageView, I guess).
Now for the question: I can think of so many alternative ways to do it that I can't decide on the "best" one.
- SMM? Eventually just the async download part?
- B4X FTP server?
- BitmapAsync?
- plain OkhttpUtils2/OkHttp2 +WaitFor methods?
- finally download and study Pleroma client? (I should have done it since its availability, I know..)
I'm sure many of you already confronted with this topic, whether for a restaurant menu or a catalog showcase or an images' collection growing in time.
So, what did you use and eventually what will you suggest for my project?
Thank you.
