Android Question when I download a file using ftp the ftp_downloaded event doesn't fire.

[Patrick Fahey]

It appears that the files are downloaded but the downloadcompleted doesn't fire nor does the downloadprogress

 

[Patrick Fahey]

the process in question

Sub downloadfile
Log("downloadfile Files")
ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/routefile2.csv",False,File.dirrootexternal,"returncust2.txt")
ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/containfile2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"returncont2.txt")
ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/notes2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"returnnote2.txt")
ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/driver2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"driver2.txt")
End Sub

Sub ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
If Success = False Then
Log("FTP Error " & LastException.message)
ToastMessageShow("Error Downloading Data File",True)
Else
Log("FTP Sucess ")
Main.gooddownload = True
End If
End Sub

1) Use code tags!
2) How are you initializing your ftp object?

This is how I initialized the FTP

Sub ftpStart
    ftp.Initialize("ftp",Starter.sys_ftpsite,21,Starter.sys_ftpun,Starter.sys_ftppw)
    Main.ftpactive                     = ftp.IsInitialized
    If Main.ftpactive = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("FTP Failed to Initiailized",True)
        StartActivity(setup)
        ftp.Initialize("ftp",Starter.sys_ftpsite,21,Starter.sys_ftpun,Starter.sys_ftppw)
        Main.ftpactive                 = ftp.IsInitialized
        Log("ftp failed")
    Else
        Log("ftp Successed")
    End If
End Sub

Start with this. Put this code in the starter service with your server parameters:

Sub Process_Globals
   Private ftp As FTP
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
   ftp.Initialize("ftp", ...)
   Dim sf As Object = ftp.DownloadFile(...)
   Wait For (sf) ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
   Log("download completed: " & Success)
   
End Sub

Does it work?

This didn't work. I declared ftp in the starter module but was downloading in the utils module. the error I get is
Error description: Cannot assign void value.
Error occurred on line: 27
Dim sf1 As Object = Starter.ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/routefile2.csv",False,File.dirrootexternal,"returncust2.txt")
Word: )

Sub downloadfile
    Starter.ftp.Initialize("ftp",Starter.sys_ftpsite,21,Starter.sys_ftpun,Starter.sys_ftppw)
    Log("downloadfile Files")
    Dim sf1 As Object = Starter.ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/routefile2.csv",False,File.dirrootexternal,"returncust2.txt")
    Wait For (sf1) ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
    If Success Then
        Log("Customer file was download successfully")
    Else
        Log("Error download file")
    End If
    Dim sf2 As Object = Starter.ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/containfile2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"returncont2.txt")
    Wait For (sf2) ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
    If Success Then
        Log("Container file was download successfully")
    Else
        Log("Error Container file")
    End If
    Dim sf3 As Object = Starter.ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/notes2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"returnnote2.txt")
    Wait For (sf3) ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
    If Success Then
        Log("Note file was download successfully")
    Else
        Log("Error Note file")
    End If
    Dim sf4 As Object = Starter.ftp.DownloadFile("/Sutherlin/download/live/driver2.csv",False,File.DirRootExternal,"driver2.txt")
    Wait For (sf4) ftp_DownloadCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean)
    If Success Then
        Log("Note file was driver successfully")
    Else
        Log("Error driver file")
    End If
End Sub

Create a new project and put the code I posted in the starter service.

Does it work?
