File.separator slashes Different direction

I have a Android app talking to a Play framework app, the android app uploades an image to the Play app and also updates the path to the image. I'm using File.separator in both apps.

I'm developing the Play app on a Windows machine, but u it will be on a Linux box once completed.

My problem is File.separtor in the Play app is using \ but on the android app it's using /

So the path to image is stored as follows: http://website.ie/assets/globalUploadFolder\user_name\profile.jpg

I'm displaying the image in the android app using NetworkImageView and it's throwing a Unexpected response code 400due to this.

is there a solution to this problem?

Solution

  • As pointed out by @Seelenvirtuose the issue was URLs never have a backward slash. So File.separator is not appropriate here.
