Android Question Httputils2 download target

[sanduro]

Hi,

I am downloading the file from internet but i don't want to save it to file, instead i I want to store it in Byte array , cos i will send it via serial when completed.

Is if possible to do it , without intermediate save to file ?

Sub btnDownload_Click
    Dim dd As DownloadData
    dd.url = link1
    dd.EventName = "dd"
    dd.Target = Me
    CallSubDelayed2(DownloadService, "StartDownload", dd)
End Sub

Where is this code taken from? You should use HttpUtils2 to download the file. You can then do whatever you like with it.

It is from your example http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/download-huge-files-with-httputils2.30220/#content
I just don't get the Tartget method it has a parameter type OBJECT , and I am lost,

I don't understand what is the result of completed job and where are the data that was downloaded?

You should handle the JobDone event. Target = Me is correct.

In the JobDone sub you can read the downloaded file to a bytes array.

OK , I see httputils2, if i call Job.GetString method it returns the string, but i need array of bytes to be returned.
So i should call Job.GetInputStream method. Got it it works now

Thanks Erel
