Android Question MD5 hash does not match Google Drive MD5 hash

[cdsincfl]

I am using the following to generate an MD5 hash on a file downloaded from Google drive:

Sub getLocalChecksum(sPath As String, fileNameArg As String) As String
    Dim iStream As InputStream = File.OpenInput(sPath, fileNameArg)
    Dim buffer(File.Size(sPath,fileNameArg)) As Byte
    Dim count As Int = iStream.ReadBytes(buffer, 0, buffer.length)
    Dim data(buffer.Length) As Byte
    Dim md As MessageDigest
    data = md.GetMessageDigest(buffer, "MD5")
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
    Dim checksum As String = bc.HexFromBytes(data)

    Return checksum
End Sub

The MD5 hash from Google drive does not match the local file MD5 that I download from Google drive.
I have generated the hash on the same file in the Assets folder that was uploaded and get a different hash.
I have copied the file from the Assets folder to File.DirDefaultExternal and get a different hash on all 3 files.

I downloaded the file from Google drive to the desktop and the hash generated in Windows is the same as the hash from Google drive.
What am I missing here?

I want to compare the hash of the Google drive file to my local file to determine if they are in sync.

I have found my error.
The code works good.
I knew I would find it just as soon as I posted the message.

Share your solution.

The code in my post is correct. I was comparing different files by mistake.
The blunder was all mine.
