Transfer byte arrays from WCF webservice to soap. #41

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Currently I'm using ksoap2-android to transfer data (Objects, Strings, ...) 
from a wcf webservice to the android device. 

Now I want to transfer images from the server using a byte array. The method 
I'm using is:

problem is that the only way 

public byte[] GetFile(string filePath)
{
 ...
}

which produces a SoapPrimitive on the android client. Other SoapPrimitives 
(Int, String) I read with the toString method

int count = Integer.parseInt(soapPrimitive.toString());

but this (not surprisingly) doesn't work for byte array. I'm not even sure if 
that's the correct way to handle SoapPrimitive results but I haven't found any 
other way.

So my question, is there a way to read a byte array with ksoap2-android (or 
even better a Stream?).

I don't know. Maybe post on the mailing list about it.

I'm using the following way to get the byte array.

byteArray = Base64
                                                .decode(soap
                                                                .getProperty(1)
                                                                .toString());

You need to add marshalling for byte encoding with base64. This is now on the 
wiki.
