SolidStream

A resource body being streamed across from the Android Solid Services app.

The bytes are not parcelled — they would not survive the ~1 MB Binder transaction limit. They arrive through a pipe, so a multi-megabyte download is never materialised in memory on either side; you read them as they arrive.

The caller must close this (the pipe stays open until then). Use it in a use { } block:

client.readStream(webId, uri).use { body ->
    body.stream().copyTo(destination)
}
