Hi,

use NSURLConnection.

Here is an little example:

I want to load this 4k image into an ImageView:
B4X:
Sub Download_Complete
Log("File was successfully downloaded")

Dim BM As Bitmap
BM.Initialize(File.DirDocuments,"Mountains.jpg")
ImageView1.Bitmap = BM
End Sub

Sub Download_Error(ErrorMessage As String)
Log(ErrorMessage)
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
Dim NativeMe As NativeObject = Me
NativeMe.RunMethod("Download:::::",Array("http://data.hdwallpapers.im/nature_mountain_4k.jpg",ProgressView1,Label1,File.DirDocuments,"Mountains.jpg"))
End Sub


#If OBJC

UIProgressView * ProgressBar;

NSURLResponse *DownloadedResponse;
NSMutableData *DownloadedData;
NSString *FilePath;
UILabel *ProgressLabel;

-(void)Download: (NSString *)FileUrl :(UIProgressView *)ProgressBarToSet :(UILabel *)LabelToSet :(NSString *)Directory :(NSString *)FileName
{
   ProgressBar = ProgressBarToSet;
   ProgressBar.progress = 0;

   ProgressLabel = LabelToSet;

   FilePath = [Directory stringByAppendingString: FileName];

   DownloadedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
   NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:FileUrl];
   NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
   NSURLConnection * connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
   [DownloadedData appendData:data];
   ProgressBar.progress = ((100.0/DownloadedResponse.expectedContentLength)*DownloadedData.length)/100;

   NSString * LabelText = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%0.f", (ProgressBar.progress * 100)] stringByAppendingString:@"%"];
   ProgressLabel.text = LabelText;
}

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
   [DownloadedData writeToFile:FilePath atomically:YES];
   [self.bi raiseEvent:nil event:@"download_complete" params:@[]];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
   [self.bi raiseEvent:nil event:@"download_error:" params:@[error.localizedDescription]];
}

-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
  DownloadedResponse = response;
}

#End If

Is it possible to use this method with parameters linke Download2?

B4X:
job.Download2("http://www.example.com", _
    Array As String("key1", "value1", "key2", "value2"))

I have to send the access data to the server.

Thanks for help...

BUt the code is already here:


The sample in the first post is:
B4X:
Dim NativeMe As NativeObject = Me
NativeMe.RunMethod("Download:::::",Array("http://data.hdwallpapers.im/nature_mountain_4k.jpg",ProgressView1,Label1,File.DirDocuments,"Mountains.jpg"))

is just to change for get the .mp4 files
B4X:
NativeMe.RunMethod("Download:::::",Array(strURL,prvDown,lblProgress,File.DirTemp, "videotmp.mp4"))

and to get the mp4 URLS from youtube, you create the libraryiYoutubeParser
