Android Question Please Help - Download Image From Web

[RodrigoVitachi]

I tried it really hard for days, with no success. Please tell me how to download images from web using HttpJob ( HttpUtils2 )

The final result that i am looking for is to download an image from my website to disk ( File.DirRootExternal ).

Code:

Dim jobPost As HttpJob
jobPost.Initialize("Imagem",Me)
jobPost.Download(imageURL) 'i am using http://techsim.com/ads/img/1PnHmtg5Qy4JU70vwNOJ.jpg

Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)
  If Job.Success = True Then
     If Job.JobName="Imagem" Then
       Dim img As Bitmap = Job.GetBitmap <---- ERROR
     End If
  End If
End Sub

Error i get:

Ps.: It doesn't matter what i use to catch "GetBitmap", it always will return the same error.
I already tried to delete cache files, remove everything from my celphone linked to the app, etc. No results.

If i just call Job.GetBitmap i will have the same result, wich means there is something wrong in the method itself, calling something weird in the "framework".

Please, any help

put the filename in Job.tag before calling download
then in Jobdone

      Log("DownloadReady: "&job.Tag)
      OutStream = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, job.Tag, False) ' Job.Tag is read to set the Original Filename we specify earlier in the creation of the Job
      File.Copy2(job.GetInputStream,OutStream) ' save the file
      OutStream.Close
      Log(job.Tag&" written to "&File.DirRootExternal) ' Write the Originalname to the log to see what happens ;-)

Hey DonManfred, thanks for your reply

File.Copy2(job.GetInputStream,OutStream) is giving me exactly the same error, probably the GetInputstream method.

Jeez, just found the problem and solution.

For anyone with the same problem, it is because i was using the same HttpJob for a previous post, to retrieve the image URL.
If i reuse the service, it will break, then i just created another HttpJob variable and used it only to download the image, and now its working fine

Thanks DonManfred for your "download to file" code, i didn't know how to do that after starting the download service

 

[DonManfred]

You ALWAYS should use a httpjob once.

For anyone with the same problem, it is because i was using the same HttpJob for a previous post

So you lie on your first post where you posted a DIM too but you are not using the dim
