I put a zip file in the android assets. How do i extract the file in the android internal storage? I know how to get the file, but i don't know how to extract it. This is my code..
Util zip ;
zip = new Util();
zip.copyFileFromAsset(this, "myfile.zip", getExternalStorage()+
"/android/data/edu.binus.profile/");
Thanks for helping :D
This piece of code will help you....Just pass the zipfile location and the location where you want the extracted files to be saved to this class while making an object...and call unzip method...
public class Decompress {
private String zip;
private String loc;
public Decompress(String zipFile, String location) {
zip = zipFile;
loc = location;
dirChecker("");
}
public void unzip() {
try {
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(zip);
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(fin);
ZipEntry ze = null;
while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
Log.v("Decompress", "Unzipping " + ze.getName());
if(ze.isDirectory()) {
dirChecker(ze.getName());
} else {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(loc + ze.getName());
for (int c = zin.read(); c != -1; c = zin.read()) {
fout.write(c);
}
zin.closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
}
zin.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("Decompress", "unzip", e);
}
}
private void dirChecker(String dir) {
File f = new File(_location + dir);
if(!f.isDirectory()) {
f.mkdirs();
}
}
}
Based on Sreedev R solution,
I added the option to read the file from assets and use buffer:
package com.pixoneye.api.utils;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
public class Decompress {
private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 10;
private static final String TAG = "Decompress";
public static void unzipFromAssets(Context context, String zipFile, String destination) {
try {
if (destination == null || destination.length() == 0)
destination = context.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
InputStream stream = context.getAssets().open(zipFile);
unzip(stream, destination);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void unzip(String zipFile, String location) {
try {
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(zipFile);
unzip(fin, location);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void unzip(InputStream stream, String destination) {
dirChecker(destination, "");
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
try {
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(stream);
ZipEntry ze = null;
while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
Log.v(TAG, "Unzipping " + ze.getName());
if (ze.isDirectory()) {
dirChecker(destination, ze.getName());
} else {
File f = new File(destination, ze.getName());
if (!f.exists()) {
boolean success = f.createNewFile();
if (!success) {
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to create file " + f.getName());
continue;
}
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(f);
int count;
while ((count = zin.read(buffer)) != -1) {
fout.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
zin.closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
}
}
zin.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "unzip", e);
}
}
private static void dirChecker(String destination, String dir) {
File f = new File(destination, dir);
if (!f.isDirectory()) {
boolean success = f.mkdirs();
if (!success) {
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to create folder " + f.getName());
}
}
}
}
Maybe you should try using a FileOutputStream in combination with an inputstream from the zip file. With a package file, this should work.
To quote #wordy from this question:
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
String apkFile = pm.getApplicationInfo(context.getPackageName(), 0).sourceDir;
ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(apkFile);
ZipEntry entry = zipFile.getEntry("assets/FILENAME");
myInput = zipFile.getInputStream(entry);
myOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024*4];
int length;
int total = 0;
int counter = 1;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
total += length;
counter++;
if (counter % 32 == 0) {
publishProgress(total);
}
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
Looks like there may be problems with ProGuard but hopefully the code sample works for you.
I haven't tested yet,but while doing a project on OCR I came across this library,where there is method of unzipping a downloaded file from the net. The exact method for unzipping file is installZipFromAssets(String sourceFilename,File destinationDir,File destinationFile) found under this class.Hope this is what you are looking for
You can also make use of the zip4j external library that provides additional features like encryption. Also, it has functions to extract files to a particular location provided the path.
I have a little issue with creating a directory and saving a file to it on my android application. I'm using this piece of code to do this :
String filename = "MyApp/MediaTag/MediaTag-"+objectId+".png";
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), filename);
FileOutputStream fos;
fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
fos.write(mediaTagBuffer);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
But it's throwing an exception :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/MyApp/MediaCard/MediaCard-0.png (No such file or directory)
on that line : fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
If I set the filename to : "MyApp/MediaTag-"+objectId+" it's working, but If I try to create and save the file to an another directory it's throwing the exception. So any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
And another question: Is there any way to make my files private in external storage so user can't see them in gallery, only if he connect his device as Disk Drive?
Use this function to save your bitmap in SD card
private void SaveImage(Bitmap finalBitmap) {
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/saved_images");
if (!myDir.exists()) {
myDir.mkdirs();
}
Random generator = new Random();
int n = 10000;
n = generator.nextInt(n);
String fname = "Image-"+ n +".jpg";
File file = new File (myDir, fname);
if (file.exists ())
file.delete ();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and add this in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
EDIT: By using this line you will be able to see saved images in the gallery view.
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
look at this link also http://rajareddypolam.wordpress.com/?p=3&preview=true
The code presented by RajaReddy no longer works for KitKat
This one does (2 changes):
private void saveImageToExternalStorage(Bitmap finalBitmap) {
String root = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/saved_images");
myDir.mkdirs();
Random generator = new Random();
int n = 10000;
n = generator.nextInt(n);
String fname = "Image-" + n + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists())
file.delete();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Tell the media scanner about the new file so that it is
// immediately available to the user.
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[] { file.toString() }, null,
new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "Scanned " + path + ":");
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "-> uri=" + uri);
}
});
}
Update 2018, SDK >= 23.
Now you should also check if the user has granted permission to external storage by using:
public boolean isStoragePermissionGranted() {
String TAG = "Storage Permission";
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (this.checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.v(TAG, "Permission is granted");
return true;
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Permission is revoked");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
return false;
}
}
else { //permission is automatically granted on sdk<23 upon installation
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
}
}
public void saveImageBitmap(Bitmap image_bitmap, String image_name) {
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
if (isStoragePermissionGranted()) { // check or ask permission
File myDir = new File(root, "/saved_images");
if (!myDir.exists()) {
myDir.mkdirs();
}
String fname = "Image-" + image_name + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
}
try {
file.createNewFile(); // if file already exists will do nothing
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
image_bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[]{file.toString()}, new String[]{file.getName()}, null);
}
}
and of course, add in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
You need a permission for this
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
and method:
public boolean saveImageOnExternalData(String filePath, byte[] fileData) {
boolean isFileSaved = false;
try {
File f = new File(filePath);
if (f.exists())
f.delete();
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
fos.write(fileData);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
isFileSaved = true;
// File Saved
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("FileNotFoundException");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return isFileSaved;
// File Not Saved
}
Make sure your app has the proper permissions to be allowed to write to external storage: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
It should look something like this in your manifest file:

Probably exception is thrown because there is no MediaCard subdir. You should check if all dirs in the path exist.
About visibility of your files: if you put file named .nomedia in your dir you are telling Android that you don't want it to scan it for media files and they will not appear in the gallery.
For API level 23 (Marshmallow) and later, additional to uses-permission in manifest, pop up permission should also be implemented, and user needs to grant it while using the app in run-time.
Below, there is an example to save hello world! as content of myFile.txt file in Test directory inside picture directory.
In the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Where you want to create the file:
int permission = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
String[] PERMISSIONS_STORAGE = {Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,PERMISSIONS_STORAGE, 1);
}
File myDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "Test");
myDir.mkdirs();
try
{
String FILENAME = "myFile.txt";
File file = new File (myDir, FILENAME);
String string = "hello world!";
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
fos.write(string.getBytes());
fos.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Old way of saving files might not work with new versions of android, starting with android10.
fun saveMediaToStorage(bitmap: Bitmap) {
//Generating a dummy file name
val filename = "${System.currentTimeMillis()}.jpg"
//Output stream
var fos: OutputStream? = null
//For devices running android >= Q
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
//getting the contentResolver
context?.contentResolver?.also { resolver ->
//Content resolver will process the contentvalues
val contentValues = ContentValues().apply {
//putting file information in content values
put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, filename)
put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpg")
put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
}
//Inserting the contentValues to contentResolver and getting the Uri
val imageUri: Uri? =
resolver.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues)
//Opening an outputstream with the Uri that we got
fos = imageUri?.let { resolver.openOutputStream(it) }
}
} else {
//These for devices running on android < Q
//So I don't think an explanation is needed here
val imagesDir =
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
val image = File(imagesDir, filename)
fos = FileOutputStream(image)
}
fos?.use {
//Finally writing the bitmap to the output stream that we opened
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, it)
context?.toast("Saved to Photos")
}
}
Reference- https://www.simplifiedcoding.net/android-save-bitmap-to-gallery/
since android 4.4 file saving has been changed. there is
ContextCompat.getExternalFilesDirs(context, name);
it retuns an array.
when name is null
the first value is like /storage/emulated/0/Android/com.my.package/files
the second value is like
/storage/extSdCard/Android/com.my.package/files
android 4.3 and less it retuns a single item array
parts of little messy code but it demonstrates how it works:
/** Create a File for saving an image or video

private File getOutputMediaFile(int type) throws Exception{
// Check that the SDCard is mounted
File mediaStorageDir;

I have a zip folder on my SD card, how do i unzip the folder (within my application code) ?
I am using a modified version of Beginner's method that extends AsyncTask and can update Observers on the main thread. Byte by byte compression is extremely slow and should be avoided. Instead a more efficient approach is to copy large chunks of data to the output stream.

It is used by a class that implements Observer, such as:
private void unzipWebFile(String filename) {
String unzipLocation = getExternalFilesDir(null) + "/unzipped";
String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
UnZipper unzipper = new UnZipper(filename, filePath, unzipLocation);
unzipper.addObserver(this);
unzipper.unzip();
}
Your observer will get an update(Observable observable, Object data) callback when the unzip finishes.
static Handler myHandler;

This is what worked for me thanks people
just "addon" for #rich.e answer:
in doInBackground() after iterating through ZipEtries you should close the file, because sometimes you want do delete the file after unzipping it and it throws an exception if file was not closed:
try {
ZipFile zipfile = new ZipFile(archive);
int entries = zipfile.size();
int total = 0;
if(onZipListener != null)
onZipListener.onUncompressStart(archive);
for (Enumeration<?> e = zipfile.entries(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) e.nextElement();
if(onZipListener != null)
onZipListener.onUncompressProgress(archive, (int) (total++ * 100 / entries));
unzipEntry(zipfile, entry, path);
}
zipfile.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I have a few files in the assets folder. I need to copy all of them to a folder say /sdcard/folder. I want to do this from within a thread. How do I do it?
If anyone else is having the same problem, this is how I did it
private void copyAssets() {
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to get asset file list.", e);
}
if (files != null) for (String filename : files) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open(filename);
File outFile = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null), filename);
out = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
copyFile(in, out);
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to copy asset file: " + filename, e);
}
finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
if (out != null) {
try {
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
}
}
}
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
Reference : Move file using Java
Based on your solution, I did something of my own to allow subfolders. Someone might find this helpful:
...
copyFileOrDir("myrootdir");
...
private void copyFileOrDir(String path) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
String assets[] = null;
try {
assets = assetManager.list(path);
if (assets.length == 0) {
copyFile(path);
} else {
String fullPath = "/data/data/" + this.getPackageName() + "/" + path;
File dir = new File(fullPath);
if (!dir.exists())
dir.mkdir();
for (int i = 0; i < assets.length; ++i) {
copyFileOrDir(path + "/" + assets[i]);
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e("tag", "I/O Exception", ex);
}
}
private void copyFile(String filename) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open(filename);
String newFileName = "/data/data/" + this.getPackageName() + "/" + filename;
out = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
}
The solution above did not work due to some errors:
directory creation did not work
assets returned by Android contain also three folders: images, sounds and webkit
Added way to deal with large files: Add extension .mp3 to the file in the assets folder in your project and during copy the target file will be without the .mp3 extension
Here is the code (I left the Log statements but you can drop them now):
final static String TARGET_BASE_PATH = "/sdcard/appname/voices/";
private void copyFilesToSdCard() {
copyFileOrDir(""); // copy all files in assets folder in my project
}
private void copyFileOrDir(String path) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
String assets[] = null;
try {
Log.i("tag", "copyFileOrDir() "+path);
assets = assetManager.list(path);
if (assets.length == 0) {
copyFile(path);
} else {
String fullPath = TARGET_BASE_PATH + path;
Log.i("tag", "path="+fullPath);
File dir = new File(fullPath);
if (!dir.exists() && !path.startsWith("images") && !path.startsWith("sounds") && !path.startsWith("webkit"))
if (!dir.mkdirs())
Log.i("tag", "could not create dir "+fullPath);
for (int i = 0; i < assets.length; ++i) {
String p;
if (path.equals(""))
p = "";
else
p = path + "/";
if (!path.startsWith("images") && !path.startsWith("sounds") && !path.startsWith("webkit"))
copyFileOrDir( p + assets[i]);
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e("tag", "I/O Exception", ex);
}
}
private void copyFile(String filename) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
String newFileName = null;
try {
Log.i("tag", "copyFile() "+filename);
in = assetManager.open(filename);
if (filename.endsWith(".jpg")) // extension was added to avoid compression on APK file
newFileName = TARGET_BASE_PATH + filename.substring(0, filename.length()-4);
else
newFileName = TARGET_BASE_PATH + filename;
out = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", "Exception in copyFile() of "+newFileName);
Log.e("tag", "Exception in copyFile() "+e.toString());
}
}
EDIT: Corrected a misplaced ";" that was throwing a systematic "could not create dir" error.
I know this has been answered but I have a slightly more elegant way to copy from asset directory to a file on the sdcard. It requires no "for" loop but instead uses File Streams and Channels to do the work.
(Note) If using any type of compressed file, APK, PDF, ... you may want to rename the file extension before inserting into asset and then rename once you copy it to SDcard)
AssetManager am = context.getAssets();
AssetFileDescriptor afd = null;
try {
afd = am.openFd( "MyFile.dat");
// Create new file to copy into.
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + java.io.File.separator + "NewFile.dat");
file.createNewFile();
copyFdToFile(afd.getFileDescriptor(), file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
A way to copy a file without having to loop through it.
public static void copyFdToFile(FileDescriptor src, File dst) throws IOException {
FileChannel inChannel = new FileInputStream(src).getChannel();
FileChannel outChannel = new FileOutputStream(dst).getChannel();
try {
inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);
} finally {
if (inChannel != null)
inChannel.close();
if (outChannel != null)
outChannel.close();
}
}
This would be concise way in Kotlin.
fun AssetManager.copyRecursively(assetPath: String, targetFile: File) {
val list = list(assetPath)
if (list.isEmpty()) { // assetPath is file
open(assetPath).use { input ->
FileOutputStream(targetFile.absolutePath).use { output ->
input.copyTo(output)
output.flush()
}
}
} else { // assetPath is folder
targetFile.delete()
targetFile.mkdir()
list.forEach {
copyRecursively("$assetPath/$it", File(targetFile, it))
}
}
}
try out this it is much simpler ,this will help u:
// Open your local db as the input stream
InputStream myInput = _context.getAssets().open(YOUR FILE NAME);
// Path to the just created empty db
String outFileName =SDCARD PATH + YOUR FILE NAME;
// Open the empty db as the output stream
OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
// transfer bytes from the inputfile to the outputfile
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
// Close the streams
myOutput.flush();
myOutput.close();
myInput.close();

Preparations
in src/main/assets
add folder with name fold
Usage
File outDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).toString());
copyAssets("fold",outDir.toString());
In to the external directory find all files and directories that are within the fold assets
Using some of the concepts in the answers to this question, I wrote up a class called AssetCopier to make copying /assets/ simple. It's available on github and can be accessed with jitpack.io:
new AssetCopier(MainActivity.this)
.withFileScanning()
.copy("tocopy", destDir);
See https://github.com/flipagram/android-assetcopier for more details.
Copy all files and directories from assets to your folder!
for copying better use apache commons io
public void doCopyAssets() throws IOException {
File externalFilesDir = context.getExternalFilesDir(null);
doCopy("", externalFilesDir.getPath());
}
//THIS IS MAIN METHOD FOR COPY
private void doCopy(String dirName, String outPath) throws IOException {
String[] srcFiles = assets.list(dirName);//for directory
for (String srcFileName : srcFiles) {
String outFileName = outPath + File.separator + srcFileName;
String inFileName = dirName + File.separator + srcFileName;
if (dirName.equals("")) {// for first time
inFileName = srcFileName;
}
try {
InputStream inputStream = assets.open(inFileName);
copyAndClose(inputStream, new FileOutputStream(outFileName));
} catch (IOException e) {//if directory fails exception
new File(outFileName).mkdir();
doCopy(inFileName, outFileName);

Based on Rohith Nandakumar's solution, I did something of my own to copy files from a subfolder of assets (i.e. "assets/MyFolder"). Also, I'm checking if the file already exists in sdcard before trying to copy again.
private void copyAssets() {
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("MyFolder");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to get asset file list.", e);
}
if (files != null) for (String filename : files) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open("MyFolder/"+filename);
File outFile = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null), filename);
if (!(outFile.exists())) {// File does not exist...
out = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
copyFile(in, out);
}
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to copy asset file: " + filename, e);
}
finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
if (out != null) {
try {
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
}
}
}
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
Based on Yoram Cohen answer, here is a version that supports non static target directory.
Invoque with copyFileOrDir(getDataDir(), "") to write to internal app storage folder /data/data/pkg_name/
Supports subfolders.
Supports custom and non-static target directory
Avoids copying "images" etc fake asset folders like
private void copyFileOrDir(String TARGET_BASE_PATH, String path) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
String assets[] = null;
try {
Log.i("tag", "copyFileOrDir() "+path);
assets = assetManager.list(path);
if (assets.length == 0) {
copyFile(TARGET_BASE_PATH, path);
} else {
String fullPath = TARGET_BASE_PATH + "/" + path;
Log.i("tag", "path="+fullPath);
File dir = new File(fullPath);
if (!dir.exists() && !path.startsWith("images") && !path.startsWith("sounds") && !path.startsWith("webkit"))
if (!dir.mkdirs())
Log.i("tag", "could not create dir "+fullPath);
for (int i = 0; i < assets.length; ++i) {
String p;
if (path.equals(""))
p = "";
else
p = path + "/";
if (!path.startsWith("images") && !path.startsWith("sounds") && !path.startsWith("webkit"))
copyFileOrDir(TARGET_BASE_PATH, p + assets[i]);
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e("tag", "I/O Exception", ex);
}
}
private void copyFile(String TARGET_BASE_PATH, String filename) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
String newFileName = null;
try {
Log.i("tag", "copyFile() "+filename);
in = assetManager.open(filename);
if (filename.endsWith(".jpg")) // extension was added to avoid compression on APK file
newFileName = TARGET_BASE_PATH + "/" + filename.substring(0, filename.length()-4);
else
newFileName = TARGET_BASE_PATH + "/" + filename;
out = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {

You can do it in few steps using Kotlin, Here I am copying only few files instead of all from asstes to my apps files directory.
private fun copyRelatedAssets() {
val assets = arrayOf("myhome.html", "support.css", "myscript.js", "style.css")
assets.forEach {
val inputStream = requireContext().assets.open(it)
val nameSplit = it.split(".")
val name = nameSplit[0]
val extension = nameSplit[1]
val path = inputStream.getFilePath(requireContext().filesDir, name, extension)
Log.v(TAG, path)
}
}
And here is the extension function,
fun InputStream.getFilePath(dir: File, name: String, extension: String): String {
val file = File(dir, "$name.$extension")
val outputStream = FileOutputStream(file)
this.copyTo(outputStream, 4096)
return file.absolutePath
}
LOGCAT
/data/user/0/com.***.***/files/myhome.html
/data/user/0/com.***.***/files/support.css
/data/user/0/com.***.***/files/myscript.js
/data/user/0/com.***.***/files/style.css
There are essentially two ways to do this.
First, you can use AssetManager.open and, as described by Rohith Nandakumar and iterate over the inputstream.
Second, you can use AssetManager.openFd, which allows you to use a FileChannel (which has the transferTo and transferFrom methods), so you don't have to loop over the input stream yourself.
I will describe the openFd method here.
Compression
First you need to ensure that the file is stored uncompressed. The packaging system may choose to compress any file with an extension that is not marked as noCompress, and compressed files cannot be memory mapped, so you will have to rely on AssetManager.open in that case.
You can add a '.mp3' extension to your file to stop it from being compressed, but the proper solution is to modify your app/build.gradle file and add the following lines (to disable compression of PDF files)
aaptOptions {
noCompress 'pdf'
}
File packing
Note that the packager can still pack multiple files into one, so you can't just read the whole file the AssetManager gives you. You need to to ask the AssetFileDescriptor which parts you need.
Finding the correct part of the packed file
Once you've ensured your file is stored uncompressed, you can use the AssetManager.openFd method to obtain an AssetFileDescriptor, which can be used to obtain a FileInputStream (unlike AssetManager.open, which returns an InputStream) that contains a FileChannel. It also contains the starting offset (getStartOffset) and size (getLength), which you need to obtain the correct part of the file.
Implementation
An example implementation is given below:
private void copyFileFromAssets(String in_filename, File out_file){
Log.d("copyFileFromAssets", "Copying file '"+in_filename+"' to '"+out_file.toString()+"'");
AssetManager assetManager = getApplicationContext().getAssets();
FileChannel in_chan = null, out_chan = null;
try {
AssetFileDescriptor in_afd = assetManager.openFd(in_filename);
FileInputStream in_stream = in_afd.createInputStream();
in_chan = in_stream.getChannel();
Log.d("copyFileFromAssets", "Asset space in file: start = "+in_afd.getStartOffset()+", length = "+in_afd.getLength());
FileOutputStream out_stream = new FileOutputStream(out_file);
out_chan = out_stream.getChannel();
in_chan.transferTo(in_afd.getStartOffset(), in_afd.getLength(), out_chan);
} catch (IOException ioe){
Log.w("copyFileFromAssets", "Failed to copy file '"+in_filename+"' to external storage:"+ioe.toString());
} finally {
try {
if (in_chan != null) {
in_chan.close();
}
if (out_chan != null) {
out_chan.close();
}
} catch (IOException ioe){}
}
}

In the end Create a Asynctask:
private class ManageAssetFolders extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0)
{
manageAssetFolderToSDcard();
return null;
}
}
call it From your activity:
new ManageAssetFolders().execute();
Slight modification of above answer to copy a folder recursively and to accommodate custom destination.
public void copyFileOrDir(String path, String destinationDir) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
String assets[] = null;
try {

if (assets.length == 0) {
copyFile(path,destinationDir);
} else {
String fullPath = destinationDir + "/" + path;
File dir = new File(fullPath);
if (!dir.exists())
dir.mkdir();
for (int i = 0; i < assets.length; ++i) {
copyFileOrDir(path + "/" + assets[i], destinationDir + path + "/" + assets[i]);
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e("tag", "I/O Exception", ex);
}
}
private void copyFile(String filename, String destinationDir) {
AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
String newFileName = destinationDir + "/" + filename;
InputStream in = null;

out = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
new File(newFileName).setExecutable(true, false);
}
For those who are updating to Kotlin:
Following this steps to avoid FileUriExposedExceptions,
supposing user has granted WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and your file is in assets/pdfs/mypdf.pdf.

outputStream = FileOutputStream(file)
copyFile(inputStream, outputStream)
}

That is my personalized text extractor class, hope that will be usefull.

To use that you need traineddata file. You can download trainddata file from this link.
Once you’ve downloaded the traineddata file you want, you need to make an Android Resource directory named assets in your android project. In the newly created assets folder, you need to create a regular directory named “tessdata” where you can place your traineddata files.
Finally you have to init the "TextExtractor" class in your MainActivity.
final TextExtractor textExtractor = new TextExtractor(this, "tessdata", "eng");
First parameter is the context, the second one is the name of directory just created and the last one is the language of traineddata just downloaded.
To extract text you have to call the "extractText" method:
final String text = textExtractor.extractText(imageWithText);
Note that extractText need a BitMap image to work!!
You can create a BitMap image from your drawable file with this line:
final BitMap image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.test_image);
If you need more support, I suggest you to follow this usefull guide: https://github.com/SamVanRoy/Android_OCR_App
In Kotlin it can be done with one line!
Add extension fun to InputStream
fun InputStream.toFile(to: File){
this.use { input->
to.outputStream().use { out->
input.copyTo(out)
}
}
}
then use it
MainActivity.kt
assets.open("test.zip").toFile(File(filesDir,"test.zip"))
This is by far the best solution I have been able to find on the internet.
I've used the following link https://gist.github.com/mhasby/026f02b33fcc4207b302a60645f6e217, but it had a single error which I fixed and then it works like a charm.
Here's my code. You can easily use it as it is an independent java class.
public class CopyAssets {
public static void copyAssets(Context context) {
AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to get asset file list.", e);
}
if (files != null) for (String filename : files) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open(filename);
out = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/www/resources/" + filename);
copyFile(in, out);
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to copy asset file: " + filename, e);
}
finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
in = null;
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
if (out != null) {
try {
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
}
}
public static void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}}
As you can see, just create an instance of CopyAssets in your java class which has an activity. Now this part is important, as far as my testing and researching on the internet, You cannot use AssetManager if the class has no activity . It has something to do with the context of the java class.
Now, the c.copyAssets(getApplicationContext()) is an easy way to access the method, where c is and instance of CopyAssets class.
As per my requirement, I allowed the program to copy all my resource files inside the asset folder to the /www/resources/ of my internal directory.
You can easily find out the part where you need to make changes to the directory as per your use.
Feel free to ping me if you need any help.
You can also use Guava's ByteStream to copy the files from the assets folder to the SD card. This is the solution I ended up with which copies files recursively from the assets folder to the SD card:
/**
* Copies all assets in an assets directory to the SD file system.
*/
public class CopyAssetsToSDHelper {
public static void copyAssets(String assetDir, String targetDir, Context context)
throws IOException {
AssetManager assets = context.getAssets();
String[] list = assets.list(assetDir);
for (String f : Objects.requireNonNull(list)) {
if (f.indexOf(".") > 1) { // check, if this is a file
File outFile = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(null),
String.format("%s/%s", targetDir, f));
File parentFile = outFile.getParentFile();
if (!Objects.requireNonNull(parentFile).exists()) {
if (!parentFile.mkdirs()) {
throw new IOException(String.format("Could not create directory %s.",
parentFile));
}
}
try (InputStream fin = assets.open(String.format("%s/%s", assetDir, f));
OutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(outFile)) {
ByteStreams.copy(fin, fout);
}
} else { // This is a directory
copyAssets(String.format("%s/%s", assetDir, f), String.format("%s/%s", targetDir, f),
context);
}
}
}
}
Use AssetManager, it allows to read the files in the assets. Then use regular Java IO to write the files to sdcard.
Google is your friend, search for an example.
