Parse Multipart Binary Http Response

See more HTTP Examples

This example demonstrates how to parse an HTTP response that is multipart and contains a binary file, such as a .zip or .pdf. Android™

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

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
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.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();
    CkHttpRequest req = new CkHttpRequest();

    // ...
    // Insert code here to construct some kind of HTTP request.
    // this example is to show how to parse a particular kind of response.
    // ...
    // ...

    // Send the request (whatever it may be in your case) to get the HTTP response object.
    CkHttpResponse resp = new CkHttpResponse();

    // Get the response body (which is expected to be binary)
    CkBinData respBody = new CkBinData();
    resp.GetBodyBd(respBody);

    // For this example, the response body contains something like this:

    // ------=_Part_21302_2029949381.1547401515443

    // Should be OK because we checked NumParts above..
    String xmlStr = part0.getBodyDecoded();
    Log.i(TAG, xmlStr);
    Log.i(TAG, "----");

    // Save the 2nd part to a file.  (It is a .zip file in our test case..)

    CkMime part1 = new CkMime();
