I'm using the following script based on the tutorial Android Series: Download files with Progress Dialog to download multiple video files from the internet to the SD card. It displays a progress bar while the download is in progress.
public class MyDownload extends Activity {
public static final int DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS = 0;
private Button startBtn;
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
private String videoPath = "http://my_site.com/test_videos/";
private String[] fileNames = {"file1.mp4","file2.mp4"};
private TextView tv;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
startBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.startBtn);
startBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
startDownload();
}
});
}
private void startDownload() {
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
if(checkExternalMedia()==true) {
File file = null;
for(int i=0; i<fileNames.length; i++) {
file = new File("/sdcard/videos/"+fileNames[i]);
boolean exists = file.exists();
if(exists){
tv.append("\n\n"+fileNames[i]+" already exists");
continue;
}
else {
new DownloadFileAsync().execute(videoPath+fileNames[i],fileNames[i]);
}
file = null;
}
}
else {
tv.append("\n\nExternal Media is NOT readable/writable");
}
}
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS:
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
mProgressDialog.setMessage("Downloading files...");
mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
mProgressDialog.setCancelable(false);
mProgressDialog.show();
return mProgressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
/** Method to check whether external media available and writable. */
private boolean checkExternalMedia(){
boolean mExternalStorageAvailable = false;
boolean mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
boolean stat;
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
// Can read and write the media
mExternalStorageAvailable = mExternalStorageWriteable = true;
stat = true;
} else if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)) {
// Can only read the media
mExternalStorageAvailable = true;
mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
stat = false;
} else {
// Can't read or write
mExternalStorageAvailable = mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
stat = false;
}
tv.append("\n\nExternal Media: readable="+mExternalStorageAvailable+" writable="+mExternalStorageWriteable);
return stat;
}
class DownloadFileAsync extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... aurl) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(aurl[0]);
URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
conexion.connect();
File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", "Lenght of file: " + lenghtOfFile);
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/videos/" + aurl[1]);
byte data[] = new byte[10485760];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress(""+(int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC",progress[0]);
mProgressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
tv.append("\n\nFile Download Completed!");
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse("file://"+ Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
}
}
}
This code works fine when the size of each video is less (around 300KB). But when the video size increases to 7-8 MB the application crashes.
However, if I try to download a single large file instead of
private String[] fileNames = {"file1.mp4","file2.mp4"};
this code works fine. Any thoughts ?
