Currently I am working in project where I need to parse a remote text file and store it in local storage (internal/external). I am able to parse the text file but unable to store it in SDCARD. Here is my code :
package com.exercise.AndroidInternetTxt;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class AndroidInternetTxt extends Activity {
TextView textMsg, textPrompt;
final String textSource = "http://sites.google.com/site/androidersite"
+ "/text.txt";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
textPrompt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textprompt);
textMsg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textmsg);
textPrompt.setText("Wait...");
URL textUrl;
try {
textUrl = new URL(textSource);
BufferedReader bufferReader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(textUrl.openStream()));
String StringBuffer;
String stringText = "";
while ((StringBuffer = bufferReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringText += StringBuffer;
}
bufferReader.close();
textMsg.setText(stringText);
// Saving the parsed data.........
File myFile = new File("sdcard/mysdfile.txt");
if (!myFile.exists()) {
myFile.mkdirs();
}
myFile = new File("sdcard/mysdfile.txt");
myFile.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
OutputStreamWriter myOutWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
myOutWriter.append(textMsg.getText());
myOutWriter.close();
fOut.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Done writing SD 'mysdfile.txt'",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
textMsg.setText(e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
textMsg.setText(e.toString());
}
textPrompt.setText("Finished!");
}
}
And here is my manifest file -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exercise.AndroidInternetTxt"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<application android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".AndroidInternetTxt"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
</manifest>
However, My Question is -
- How do i Store the parsed text data in a file inside the SDCARD or Phone memory?
- There is any way to check the URL with pre-defined interval using timer?
Any code example is excellent for me.
