Hey,
I am using the following code to download a file from my server then write it to the root directory of the sd card, it all works fine:
package com.downloader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;
public class Downloader {
public void DownloadFile(String fileURL, String fileName) {
try {
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File(root, fileName));
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
}
f.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Downloader", e.getMessage());
}
}
}
However, using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
means that the file will always write to the root /mnt/sdcard
. Is it possible to specify a certain folder to write the file to?
For example: /mnt/sdcard/myapp/downloads
Cheers
Eef
