iOS Question B4A to B4I Problem

[AndreasGoering]

Hi, i've treid to change the code from this Thread :

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webservice.26996/#post-156454

into B4i but theres is a problem with the myhttprequest.
It seems that doest work with B4i.

Use HttpUtils2 to download whatever you need to download.

Ah thanks that helps a lot.
Now i have changed the Project to HttpUtils.

The next problem is the "TextReader"
I found a post that “Textreader” is not available B4I and I should use File.ReadString2 or File.WriteString2.
But I need help in this case:

  If Job.Success Then
     Dim myTextReader As TextReader
     myTextReader.Initialize(Job.GetInputStream)
     Dim Xml As String = myTextReader.ReadAll
     Log(Xml)
     myTextReader.Close

I’ve tried a few solutions but none of them works fine.

Note that there is no good reason to use this code in B4A. Just call Job.GetString. The same is true in B4i.

Ah great, thanks. That works fine.

Now I would like to generate the request to a XML file.
Is there are a Soultion or a Tutorial available?

This code was taken from the tutorial at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/files-and-folders.46137/#content and adapted to suit what I think you want.

When you say "generate the request to a XML file", do you mean write the response of the request to an xml file?

If File.Exists(File.DirDocuments, "output.xml") = False Then
    File.WriteString(File.DirDocuments, "output.xml", job.GetString)
End If
