Android Question How do i compare Int Directory and online dir to download missing files

[tsteward]

What is the best way to compare
file.internal

with

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8952255/LishiAssistant/Keyblanks/

directory and download the missing (new) files. This is a public dropbox directory so no permissions should be needed.

An example would be amazing
Thanks Tony

I'm getting a 404 error with this link.

Yeah just checked that out. I appears you can't access/share a folder only the files directly....

I have put a text file in that directory listing the files within. Maybe this is the way to do it?

Yes. Now you can go over the local files, remove them (IndexOf / RemoteAt) and then see whether there are any items left in the list.

Download that textfile and copy it to dir.external.
Search forum for "reading textfile" to find an example to read a textfile line by line.
For each line. get the filename and do a fileexists with it.
If it dont exists then you need to download that file.
