Load image statically using an URL

Question

Hi All,

In our new Embedded Wizard project we need to use few images from URL instead of a local directory. We are not expecting a run time fetch from URL (Like Extern bitmap), but we need to get those images during build time.

Is there any way to fetch the images from a particular URL on or before build time. Could you please help me out.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Anand.S,

I think, the unique approach in your application case would be to implement a batch file, which takes care of downloading all the files and store them locally. This batch file has to be started manually before you open a project in Embedded Wizard. This would ensure that all files are available. Embedded Wizard itself does not provide any functionality to automatically download files from URLs nor execute batch files in advance of project opening.
