I'm trying to save a file to the Documents folder using PickSaveFileAndContinue() method in WP 8.1 RT. Everything is happening fine except the file which gets saved is empty. When I get the file returned from the following code in OnActivated() method, it's size is zero.
Anyone?
var database = await FileHelper.GetFileAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, DATABASE_NAME);
FileSavePicker savePicker = new FileSavePicker();
savePicker.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.DocumentsLibrary;
savePicker.FileTypeChoices.Add("Database File", new List<string>() { ".db" });
savePicker.DefaultFileExtension = ".db";
savePicker.SuggestedFileName = DATABASE_NAME;
savePicker.SuggestedSaveFile = database;
After the location is picked, the following code is executed in App.xaml.cs. I tried doing this inside the same page using a ContinuationManager. But then result is same.
protected async override void OnActivated(IActivatedEventArgs args)
{
byte[] buffer = null;
if(args!=null)
{
if(args.Kind == ActivationKind.PickSaveFileContinuation)
{
var file = ((FileSavePickerContinuationEventArgs)args).File;//This is empty
using (IRandomAccessStreamWithContentType stream = await file.OpenReadAsync())
{
buffer = new byte[stream.Size];
using (DataReader reader = new DataReader(stream))
{
await reader.LoadAsync((uint)stream.Size);
reader.ReadBytes(buffer);
}
}
if (file != null)
{
CachedFileManager.DeferUpdates(file);
await FileIO.WriteBytesAsync(file, buffer);
Windows.Storage.Provider.FileUpdateStatus status = await CachedFileManager.CompleteUpdatesAsync(file);
}
}
}
base.OnActivated(args);
}
