B4J Question TextReader monitor an active file?

[giga]

I have used BufferedReader in Java to read an active file for changes via thread sleep, Can TextReader in B4J read an active file?

Any ideas appreciated, Thanks for the help.

Do other processes write to the file? You can use a timer and check its size. If it increases then read it.

You can also use this library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jfilewatcher-watch-system-file-events.56613/#content

Thanks Erel, Yes when the program starts it creates a log file. While the program runs the users actions constantly write to the log file.
I saw the library you referenced last year I haven't tried it yet.
I will look into them both
