B4A Library Library PictureDownloadUrl

THIS LIBRARY DONT WORK FINE I SUGGEST UNIVERSALIMAGELOADER BY DONMANFRED OR YOU CAN USE Job.GetBitmap
Thank you

********************
This library copy an image from the web and copy to device ( you can save the same in jpeg or png )
Example you use this feature to copy:

Dim file_share asString = "example.jpg"
File.Copy(File.DirAssets, file_share, File.DirRootExternal, "save.jpg")

same thing to copy from web:

Dim FileUrl As PictureDownloadUrl
Dim file_share as String = "example.png"
FileUrl.Copy("http://devil-app.eu/example/",file_share, File.DirRootExternal,"tattoo_pro","jpeg")

Yes i know exist also another way ... but this you have in two lines code

Copy Image from URL to Destiny - Joke NJDude

LOL.

 

[rboeck]

Hi,

whats the reason to restrict it to pictures? Would it be more complicated to copy any files?
Thanks,
Reinhard

Right... i will work on it.

 

[MarcoRome]

what about the progress % of download?

Doesn't exist...when finish download save file. Maybe in future i can add event downloadcomplete or similar

 

[Erel]

Is the code blocking until download completes?

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi Erel. The code blocking until download completes ( Right DonManfred )
Anyway this is code, anyone can improve it

Does not look like async! The code is running in the mainthread.

 

[DonManfred]

FileUrl.Copy("https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/data/avatars/m/63/",file_share, File.DirRootExternal,"save","jpeg")
ToastMessageShow("Done, look in File.DirRootExternal you have save.jpeg", True)

Does not look async too... Looks more like an Synced call....

 

[MarcoRome]

Does not look like async! The code is running in the mainthread.

You are right DonMandred

 

[Erel]

I don't recommend you to use such code. A http request can easily take 30 seconds or more to complete (successfully or unsuccessfully). This means that your app will be freezed for 30 or more seconds.

Android doesn't allow such freezes so it will kill your app after 5 seconds if the user touches the screen.

Downloading files is very simple with HttpUtils2. If you want to work with images only then you should check ImageDownloader: ImageDownloader - The simple way to download images

 

[MarcoRome]

Mmmhhh... Never happen ( maybe lucky ) but if Master Erel say so, is so:

Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
End Sub

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Dim job1 As HttpJob

    job1.Initialize("Job1", Me)
    job1.Download("https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/data/avatars/m/63/63206.jpg")
End Sub



Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)
    Log("JobName = " & Job.JobName & ", Success = " & Job.Success)
    If Job.Success = True Then
        Select Job.JobName
            Case "Job1"
                'show the downloaded image
                Activity.SetBackgroundImage(Job.GetBitmap)
                Dim out As OutputStream
                out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal,"test.jpg",False)
                File.Copy2(Job.GetInputStream, out)
                out.close
        End Select
    Else
        Log("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage)
        ToastMessageShow("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage, True)
    End If
    Job.Release
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wp-content/filer/2009/07/earth-huge.png on this server.

Don't click on the link; that does not work. Use it with the library. It is valid.

Another big image that can raise an ANR:

i will try the links later with my UIL Library too

Yes. Give me an ANR.
