Android Question Get TXT from Server and fill ListView

[TechMedia]

Hello, i have B4A for a long time, but i really start to look into it now. So, i am a newbie. I need to download a TXT file from a server (using HTTPUtils2) and fill a ListView with the lines of the TXT. Can you help with some code? Thanks a lot in advance

I can do the download stuff, my problem is to know how to get the result file and fill the listview with the lines.

in the jobDone event you can put something like this - not tested, just a starting point - may be there are more simple ways to do it...:

    Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirInternal, "test.txt", False)
    File.Copy2(Job.GetInputStream, out)
    out.Close
    Dim l1 As List
    l1 = File.ReadList(File.DirInternal, "test.txt")
    For i = 0 To l1.size-1
      myListview.AddSingleLine(l1.Get(i))
    Next

Works 100% Thanks a lot. It is a great starting point for me. Cheers
