Android Question Problem With Job.PostFile

[ian2410]

Hi,

I'm Ian and newbie with B4A. I can send string to PC but I have a problem sending text file to PC (with B4J server).

I'm using a tablet with Android version 6.0.

mycode :

Dim Job As HttpJob
Job.Initialize("Job", Me)
Job.JobName = "Sent"
Job.PostFile(link2, File.DirRootExternal, "temp.text")

i'm sure that "temp.text" is exist cause i can open the "temp.text" with File.ReadString.

Any advice ?

Thanks a lot.

add this code before the job

If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"temp.txt") = False Then
            File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal,"temp.txt", _
                "")
           
            Else

            End If

 

[ian2410]

i already did that before ronell

 

[ronell]

take a look at the error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/b4a.example/files/temp.text: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

temp.txt is being search in your project folder(assets)?

edit:
i test it with this code , without the file in DirRootExternal..

Dim job As HttpJob
         job.Initialize("job1",Me)
         job.PostFile("link",File.DirRootExternal,"sample.txt")

error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/sdcard0/sample.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

 

[Erel]

Can you upload the project (File - Export as zip)?

 

[ian2410]

My main purpose is to print "temp.text" which contains multi line text with printhtml. anyway, i've found another way to print that.
i did this :

EditText1.Text = File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "temp.txt")

then

i just post it as string and now i can print multi line text successfully to 4 different printers simultaneously.

 

[ronell]

but how come that the temp.txt is being search in your assets directory?

 

[ian2410]

i don't know, ronell. same errors occurred if i try to delete or copy "temp.text" .
"temp.text" is exist but somehow the file not found.

 

[ronell]

see erels post so the main issue can be solve .. im also curious about the problem

 

[ian2410]

i made a new one. just to test sending file. still can't sent or delete file

 

[ronell]

in activity create .. you are copying the file in dirInternal, change it to DirRootExternal
in Sent button(button3_click) , change the file name to temp.txt , not temp.text

Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
 
    If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal, "temp.txt") = False Then
     
        File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "temp.txt", File.DirRootExternal, "temp.txt")
    End If

Sub Button3_Click

    Dim job As HttpJob
    job.Initialize("job", Me)
    job.JobName = "Sent"
    job.PostFile(link, File.DirRootExternal,"temp.txt")
End Sub

sorry for my mistake in the sample. but in my actual app, i type it right. i've tried yours...

but it works in android 5.0, failed in android 6.0.

finally, it works when i set :

android:maxSdkVersion="22"

previously "23". don't know why.

Thanks a lot

If you use Api 23 you MUST USE RUNTIMEPERMISSIONS Library and request Permission for any "dangerous Permission" like write on external storage
