REST Download Bandwidth Throttle

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use download bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will download a file from Drobox using a file stream, with a limit on the bandwidth that can be used for the transfer. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
    //  Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
    //  See Dropbox Access Token.

    //  To use bandwidth throttling, the connection should be made using the socket API.
    //  This provides numerous properties to customize the connection, such as
    //  BandwidthThrottleDown, BandwidthThrottleUp, ClientIpAddress, ClintPort, Http Proxy,
    //  KeepAlive, PreferIpv6, RequireSslCertVerify, SoRcvBuf, SoSndBuf, SoReuseAddr,
    //  SOCKS proxy, TcpNoSDelay, TlsPinSet, TlsCipherSuite, SslAllowedCiphers, etc.

    CkSocket socket = new CkSocket();
    int maxWaitMs = 5000;
    success = socket.Connect("content.dropboxapi.com",443,true,maxWaitMs);
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, socket.lastErrorText());
        Log.i(TAG, "Connect Fail Reason: " + String.valueOf(socket.get_ConnectFailReason()));
        return;
        }

    //  Set the download bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
    socket.put_BandwidthThrottleDown(50000);

    CkRest rest = new CkRest();

    //  Tell the REST object to use the connected socket.
    rest.UseConnection(socket,true);

    //  The remainder of this example is identical to the example at:
    //  Dropbox Download File.

    //  Add request headers.
    rest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN");

    //  The download "parameters" are contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.

    //  Indicate that the call to FullRequestNoBody should send the response body
    //  to fileStream if the response status code is 200.

    //  is streamed to the output file and the error response is returned by FullRequestNoBody.
