Android Question OKHttpUtils2, Progress_Sub and POST Request?

[Moosi]

Hi all,

I´m looking for a solution to download a large file (>50MB) with progress.
But I need to send the Request as POST string.

Does someone has an Idea how to do this?

thanks in advance

See this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/download-huge-files-with-httputils2.30220/

It should be simple to send a POST request instead of GET.

Thanks a lot, it works.

This is what I did, just in case someone looks for the same.

In DonwnloadService I changed the DownloadData from:

Type DownloadData (url As String, Target As Object, EventName As String)

to

Type DownloadData (url As String, Target As Object, EventName As String, PostString As String)

So I added the PostString to the Type

then I changed the
Public Sub StartDownload(data As DownloadData)
where I replaced the J.Download(data.url) with:

    If data.PostString.Length > 0 Then
        J.PostString(data.url,data.PostString)
    Else
        J.Download(data.url)
    End If

The call is now:

    Dim dd As DownloadData
    dd.url = "MyURL"
    dd.EventName = "EventName"
    dd.Target = Me
    dd.PostString = ""  <--- This is now needed
    CallSubDelayed2(DownloadService, "StartDownload", dd)

That way I can pass an empty PostString to use the HTTP GET but when I pass a Value it uses the HTTP POST.
One thing to note, you need to pass the empty value, otherwise it would be NULL and throw an error.

Maybe it helps someone...
