Android Question Reading very large files to a byte buffer

The simplest solution is to use B4J to implement the desktop app: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...ceive-objects-over-the-network.34612/#content

The example above will work with files of any size.

Thanks, Erel!
This is a very good aproach. I will even move from VBA to B4J ))
Thx

Hello!
I downloaded and installed " http://www.b4x.com/android/fo...ceive-objects-over-the-network.34612/#content" (B4J and B4A)
Whenever I send a file from PC to my android device, I receive a number but not a file Name (see *** in code below)!


Sub astreamO_NewObject(Key AsString, Value AsObject)

Select Key
Case"form"
Dim p AsPerson = Value
txtFirst.Text = p.First
txtLast.Text = p.Last
txtAnimal.Text = p.Animal

Case"simple value"
Dim number AsInt = Value
Log("Received lucky number: " & number)

Case"image"
Dim bmp AsImage = Value
cvs.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0, cvs.Width, cvs.Height)

Case"file"
Dim fileName AsString = Value '*** value is always a number, never a file name
Log("Received file. File size: " & File.Size(astreamO.TempFolder, fileName))
EndSelect

End Sub

How can I get the real file Name as it has been transmitted by PC??
If the file is very large I get a Log "sending message to waiting queue" and astreamO_NewObject() is never called again!

Thx

The current implementation doesn't send the file name. You can easily add the file name to the "key". Instead of using "file" as the key add the name. For example: "file_1.jpg". This will allow you to parse the file name from the key in the other side.
