app.WriteFile issue

[Julio Serrano]

I'm trying to download a file. The file downloads OK, but app.WriteFile fails

its labour and writes only 133 bytes. It is a zip file, so I wonder if it fails

because it finds a binary character which is unable to handle.

Is this a bug? There is a binary mode? Please help me! :(

Hi Guys,

Sorry, there is currently no binary mode for the app.WriteFile function.  The only 'non-standard' mode supported is "ASCII" at the moment. 

I'll put it on the 'Todo' list.  :)

If you just need to save and load binary data, you could probably use the JavaScript btoa() an atob() functions to convert to base64.  But this won't help with saving zip files tho.

For downloading files (including zip files) direct to sdcard, you can use the app.CreateDownloader() method like this:-

:

dload = app.CreateDownloader();

dload.SetOnComplete( dload_OnComplete );

dload.Download( srcFileUrl, targetDir );

:

You can pass a comma seperated list of file urls to download.

You can use dload.IsComplete(), dload.GetProgress() and dload.GetSize() methods too.

Regards

Thanks too, that's a piece of information that rises the value of your project to me :-)

Is it possible

- to know whether download success or not? (for intance invalid URI odr invalid save path)

- to hide or customize the download progress indicator? (tested under Android 4.4.2 on Samsung) 

I have added you example to the wiki (because I'm convinced too that the wiki should become the most complete documentation of the project :-)

Greetings
