REST Upload Bandwidth Throttle

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use upload bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will upload a file to 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.app.Activity;

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.

    // 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()));

    // Set the upload bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
    socket.put_BandwidthThrottleUp(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 File Stream Upload.

    // Add request headers.

    rest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN");

    // The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
    // This is the JSON to be added in this example:
