Android Question ImageDownloader problem

[German Buchmuller]

Ive got a problem with imagedownloader which is that when I am on 3g, sometimes the images I try to download wont be downloaded, and therefore the imageview wil not show the bitmap downloaded. This problem occurs mainly on slow connections, in which some images are downloaded but other no. Any idea?
Main Activity:

Sub Activity_Create
...
Dim job As HttpJob
    job.Initialize("j", Me)
    job.Download("http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/fastfoodnumber.txt")
End Sub
Sub JobDone(job As HttpJob)

If job.Success Then

Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirInternal, "ffnumeroderestaurantes.txt", False)

File.Copy2(job.GetInputStream, out)

out.Close '<------ very important



Dim im(File.ReadString(File.DirInternal,"ffnumeroderestaurantes.txt")+1) As ImageView

Starter.immax=File.ReadString(File.DirInternal,"ffnumeroderestaurantes.txt")

For i = 2 To File.ReadString(File.DirInternal,"ffnumeroderestaurantes.txt")

im(i).Initialize("im")

im(i).Bitmap= bmp

im(i).Tag = "http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/fastfood"&i&".png"

If i=2 Then

scrollviewff.Panel.AddView(im(i),2%x,30%y,47%x,47%x)


else If i Mod 2 == 0 Then

scrollviewff.Panel.AddView(im(i),2%x,im(i-2).Top+47%x + 2%y,47%x,47%x)

Else

scrollviewff.Panel.AddView(im(i),51%x,im(i-1).Top,47%x,47%X)

End If

im(i).Gravity = Gravity.FILL

 

Dim links As Map  'is the map neccessary now ?? .. or just pass im(i).Tag value ?

links.Initialize

links.Put(im(i), "http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/fastfood"&i&".png")

CallSubDelayed2(ImageDownloader, "Download", links)

scrollviewff.Panel.Height= ivff1.Height+filterbanner.Height +(im(i).Height *i/2)

Next







Else

Log("Error: " & job.ErrorMessage)

ToastMessageShow("No se pudo conectar con el servidor. Intenta mas tarde",True)

timer1.Enabled=False

End If

job.Release

End Sub

ImageDonwloader class:

Sub Download (ImageViewsMap As Map)
    For i = 0 To ImageViewsMap.Size - 1
        tasks.Put(ImageViewsMap.GetKeyAt(i), ImageViewsMap.GetValueAt(i))
        Dim link As String = ImageViewsMap.GetValueAt(i)
        If cache.ContainsKey(link) Then
            Dim iv As ImageView = ImageViewsMap.GetKeyAt(i)
            iv.SetBackgroundImage(cache.Get(link))
        Else If ongoingTasks.ContainsKey(link) = False Then
            ongoingTasks.Put(link, "")
            Dim j As HttpJob
            j.Initialize(link, Me)
            j.Download(link)
        End If
    Next
    Wait For (J) JobDone(Job As HttpJob)
    ongoingTasks.Remove(Job.JobName)

        Dim bmp As Bitmap = Job.GetBitmap
        cache.Put(Job.JobName, bmp)

            For i = 0 To tasks.Size - 1
                Dim link As String = tasks.GetValueAt(i)
                If link = Job.JobName Then
                    Dim iv As ImageView = tasks.GetKeyAt(i)
                    iv.SetBackgroundImage(bmp)
                End If
            Next
            If Job.JobName="http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/fastfood"&Starter.immax & ".png" Then
                CallSub(Main, "imready")
            End If
            If Job.JobName="http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/combo"&Starter.immax & ".png" Then
                CallSub(Main, "imready2")
            End If
        End If
    Else
        If Job.JobName="http://g3dsoftware.ddns.net:8080/neater/fastfood2.png" Then
        CallSub(Main,"error")
        End If
       
       
   
    End If
    Job.Release
End Sub

Any idea? Thanks

In most cases I wouldn't use ImageDownloader at all. It was created before resumable subs were available. It is very simple to download images with Wait For: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-okhttputils2-with-wait-for.79345/

You should find the error. If it timeouts then increase the timeout limit.

Expect some requests to fail.
