HttpUtils help needed

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

It took me a while to figure it out, but I was having trouble trying to understand how to use the HttpUtils to download several web pages from dictionary.com so I can use that information in my app. Since I figured it out, I'm reposting my message in hopes that other will benefit from what I found of the wonderful HttpUtils. The code included here will download dictionary.com with the results of a query for "this is a test" so an app can use the returned information from dictionary.com

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

    Dim b4a As String
   Dim strDownloadList As List
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

   b4a = "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/"

   strDownloadList.Initialize
   strDownloadList.Add(b4a & "this")
   strDownloadList.Add(b4a & "is")
   strDownloadList.Add(b4a & "a")
   strDownloadList.Add(b4a & "test")

   HttpUtils.CallbackActivity = "Main" 'Current activity name.
    HttpUtils.CallbackJobDoneSub = "JobDone"
   HttpUtils.CallbackUrlDoneSub = "UrlDone"
   HttpUtils.DownloadList("JobDone", strDownloadList)
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub JobDone (Job As String)

     ToastMessageShow("Processing all done.", False)
End Sub

Sub UrlDone(Url)

   ToastMessageShow("Processing URL: " & Url, False)

   If HttpUtils.IsSuccess(Url) Then
      s = HttpUtils.GetString(Url)

      ToastMessageShow(s,True)
   End If
End Sub
