I am implementing reading text file from an external SDcard through Wifi. Now I can download text files from SDcard at my android app. My questions are :
(1) How can I read text directly from the text files into my app? What i am doing is i am scanning all attached devices and choose the SDcard to see the contents through a url. The url is has ip address and port number of the attached SDCard. then i can see the files and the current status is just to download the file into the download folder. What i want is read directly the text from the text files. so that I don't need to download. Is it possible?
If not possible,
(2) Catch those downloaded text into my application directly so that i don't need one more step to get text from the text file in the download folder. May I have some suggestion? My intention is to read text files from the SDcard into my application. Thanks
It is not possible to read the text file without downloading it.
Since you have the direct url to your textfile you can just access it and read it like this
