Android: downloading a file and saving on sd card

Was trying to create an application to download a file on SD card, here is my code.:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {

                                Log.i("step0","it starts here");
                URLConnection urlConnection = null;
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                try {
                    //fetching the URL
                    Log.i("step 1.1","getting the url");
                    URL url = new URL("http://people.opera.com/howcome/2005/ala/sample.pdf");
                    Log.i("step 1.2","captured the url");                
                    urlConnection = url.openConnection();
                    Log.i("step 1.3","captured the url");    

                    urlConnection.connect();
                    Log.i("step 1","fetching the URL");

                    //specifying path and file name 
                    File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
                    File file = new File(sdcard, "filename.pdf");
                    Log.i("step 2","specifying path and file name");

                    //Preparing for download
                    FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

                    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                    int bufferLength = 0;
                    Log.i("step 3","Preparing for download");


                    //Downloading 
                    while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
                        fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
                    }
                    fileOutput.close();
                    Log.i("step 4","Downloading");

                } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }     
            }
          }).start();


    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

I tried searching on the internet, but I am unable to solve this problem.It isn't downloading the file. Can anyone please help?

回答1:

Try this:

try {
        //set the download URL, a url that points to a file on the internet
        //this is the file to be downloaded
        URL url = new URL("http://somewhere.com/some/webhosted/file");

        //create the new connection
        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

        //set up some things on the connection
        urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);

        //and connect!
        urlConnection.connect();

        //set the path where we want to save the file
        //in this case, going to save it on the root directory of the
        //sd card.
        File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
        //create a new file, specifying the path, and the filename
        //which we want to save the file as.
        File file = new File(SDCardRoot,"somefile.ext");

        //this will be used to write the downloaded data into the file we created
        FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);

        //this will be used in reading the data from the internet
        InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

        //this is the total size of the file
        int totalSize = urlConnection.getContentLength();
        //variable to store total downloaded bytes
        int downloadedSize = 0;

        //create a buffer...
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int bufferLength = 0; //used to store a temporary size of the buffer

        //now, read through the input buffer and write the contents to the file
        while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
                //add the data in the buffer to the file in the file output stream (the file on the sd card
                fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
                //add up the size so we know how much is downloaded
                downloadedSize += bufferLength;
                //this is where you would do something to report the prgress, like this maybe
                updateProgress(downloadedSize, totalSize);

        }
        //close the output stream when done
        fileOutput.close();

//catch some possible errors...
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
}

If you download file from URL then try below code with folder name and file name

public void DownloadFile(String strUrl, String folderName, String fileName) {
    try {
        File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/"
                + folderName);
        if (dir.exists() == false) {
            dir.mkdirs();
        }

        URL url = new URL(strUrl);
        File file = new File(dir, fileName);

        URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();
        InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
        ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(20000);
        int current = 0;
        while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
            baf.append((byte) current);
        }
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        fos.write(baf.toByteArray());
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
