In my Service, I need to call on onStartCommand some methods that require withContext(Dispatchers.IO) instead CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO) like:
- url = URL(pokemon.linkImage)
- url.openConnection().getInputStream()
- fOut= FileOutputStream(file)
- fOut.flush()
- fOut.close()
But Suspend function 'withContext' should be called only from a coroutine or another suspend function. So if onStartCommand can't be a suspend function because it has override and withContext can't be called by CoroutineScope because Inappropriate blocking method call of methods
val url = URL(pokemon.linkImage)
val iS = url.openConnection().getInputStream()
How can I resolve this problem?
My onStartCommand():
override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent, flags: Int, startId: Int): Int {
//create the directory on internal storage that will contains all pokemon images
val path = applicationContext.filesDir.absolutePath
val dirName = "/pokeimg"
val dir = File(path, dirName)
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdir()
CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
//get the list of pokemon when they are loaded from repository
val listOfPokemon =
PersistenceSingletonRepository.getInstance(applicationContext).getListOfPokemon()
//download all the image for each pokemon in the list, but only if the image is
//not present in the directory
for(pokemon in listOfPokemon) {
val imageName = "${pokemon.name}.png"
val file = File("${dir.absolutePath}/$imageName")
//check if image not exists on internal storage and if is not an official-artwork
//images that aren't official-artwork has less quality so don't resize
if(!file.exists()) {
//download img
val url = URL(pokemon.linkImage)
val iS = url.openConnection().getInputStream()
val opts = BitmapFactory.Options()
if (!Utils.isBadImage(pokemon.linkImage)) {
//request a smaller image
opts.inSampleSize = 2
}
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(iS, null, opts)
val fOut= FileOutputStream(file)
bitmap?.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut)
fOut.flush()
fOut.close()
}
}
stopSelf()
}
return START_NOT_STICKY
}
