Android Question Downloading and opening any type of file

jesseiz · Sep 29, 2014

Hey,

How do i download and open any type of file?

B4X:

encodedLink = su.EncodeUrl(selectedfile,"UTF8")
Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("DownloadFile", Me)

   job.Download(Link&"/files/" & encodedLink & "")

This is what i have right now but how do i open the file after it has finished?

B4X:

Sub JobDone(Job As HttpJob)
    ProgressDialogHide
    If Job.Success Then
        Log("JobName: "&Job.JobName)
    Else
        ToastMessageShow("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage, True)
    End If
    Job.Release
End Sub

Hey,

That's not what i meant.
I know how JobDone works but i don't know how to open a file like .3gp or .mp3 or .jpg

but thanks!

Search for examples on

Play MP3 files
Play Video files
Show pictures.

There are hundrets of examples if you use the forumsearch

Yes ,

I searched for it but i can't seem to find exactly what i need.

What i want is to download a file from a URL and then save and open that file .

Do you know how to do that or have you found a post where they explain this?

Thanks!
