and my code segment is :

//      PhotoToLoad photoToLoad = new PhotoToLoad(url, new ImageView(a));
//      String filename = photoToLoad.url;
        //String filename = url;
        String filename = String.valueOf(url.hashCode());
        Log.v("TAG FILE :", filename);
        File f = new File(cacheDir, filename);
        // Is the bitmap in our cache?
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getPath());
        if (bitmap != null)
            return bitmap;
        else {
            // Nope, have to download it
            try {
                bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new URL(url)
                        .openConnection().getInputStream());
                // save bitmap to cache for later
                writeFile(bitmap, f);
                return bitmap;
            } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
                Log.v("FILE NOT FOUND", "FILE NOT FOUND");
                return null;
            }catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
                e.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

    private void writeFile(Bitmap bmp, File f) {
        FileOutputStream out = null;

        try {
            out = new FileOutputStream(f);
            bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 80, out);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                if (out != null)
                    out.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
            }
        }
    }

I am getting FileNotFoundException :

Please guide me how to resolve this ?

Thanks~

Answer 1

In the stack trace it shows a file not found exception. I've seen this happen when the file folder doesn't exist. did you create it first. alternatively, you can use the cache or external folder mentioned above.

Answer 2

Are you properly defining the directory name?

Maybe you didn't declare the directory name properly...

So, can you please check that it's all right ??

 //Find the dir to save cached images
    if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
        cacheDir=new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"YourDirectoryName");
    else
        cacheDir=context.getCacheDir();
    if(!cacheDir.exists())
        cacheDir.mkdirs();
}

Check your class and make sure your path is right or anything else and tell me after.
