B4J Question HTMLeditor load a page locally

[JJ37]

Hi I am new to B4J and want to load a HTML page into the HTMLeditor control.

This is what I have tried (without success).

HTMLEditor1.HtmlText = File.OpenInput("c:\","test.html")

test.html is a simple webpage, but it's not showing.

File.OpenInput returns an InputStream. You need to use File.ReadString.

Thank you sir. May I ask in what situation it is appropriate to open a file stream using Input/OutputStream. Is it to save and load binary data?

Is it to save and load binary data?

No. You should use File.ReadBytes / WriteBytes in this case.

There are methods that expect an InputStream. Mainly to avoid loading the complete file to memory. AsyncStreams.WriteStreams for example.
