Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal,"test.txt", False)
File.Copy2(Job.GetInputStream, out)

EditText1.Text = (File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "test.txt"))

If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"test.txt") = True Then
Msgbox("yes it is available"," ")
' EditText1.Text = "test.txt.text"
paid1 = (File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "test.txt"))

You can not use File.ReadString with a File not available on your Device.

Use okhttputils2 to retrieve the content and save the content to file then if needed. Or just use the Result you get in yor httpjob Result.

thanks for your response, i appreciate i am new in this b4a what i have done is to first copy the file to my device like this Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal,"test.txt", False)
File.Copy2(Job.GetInputStream, out) as tutored by erel
i saw the file in my device but reading it bring out blank result

There are many "bad practices" in your code. I recommend you to watch the video tutorials. Specifically the one about debugging.

If you aren't able to solve it then please create a project that only downloads the resource and logs it.
