I have a list of files to send from my device to my server.
List<myFiles> list = new List<myFiles>() { "[long list of files...]" };
For that I want to create a list of tasks: for each file I should invoke a function that sends to my webapi that file via PUT
public async Task<bool> UploadPhoto(byte[] photoBytes, int PropertyId, string fileName)
{
bool rtn = false;
if (CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected)
{
var content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var fileContent = new ByteArrayContent(photoBytes);
fileContent.Headers.ContentType =
MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("multipart/form-data");
fileContent.Headers.ContentDisposition =
new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
{
FileName = fileName + ".jpg"
};
content.Add(fileContent);
string url = RestURL() + "InventoriesPicture/Put";
try
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("authenticationToken", SyncData.Token);
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PutAsync(url, content);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
rtn = true;
Debug.WriteLine($"UploadPhoto response {response.ReasonPhrase}");
}
else
{
Debug.WriteLine($"UploadPhoto response {response.ReasonPhrase}");
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine($"UploadPhoto exception {ex.Message}");
}
Debug.WriteLine($"UploadPhoto ends {fileName}");
}
return rtn;
}
In a function I have a foreach
that calls UploadPhoto
. I think there are too many tasks at the same time then I want to send a file, wait the result from the webapi and then send next file and so on.
What can I do? What is the best practice for that? Or in any case how can I resolve my problem? :) Thank you in advance
