The piece of code I have written so far is as follow:
String fname = type + (i + 1) + "-" + ext;
String fname1 = type + (i + 2) + "-" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ext;
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists()) {
//file.delete();
continue;
} else {
try {
InputStream in = getResources().openRawResource(x);
FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
byte[] buff1 = new byte[1024];
int read = 0;
try {
while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0) {
outStream.write(buff, 0, read);
//I wanted to fasten up the process so i added the code below: I have tried multiple way to do the same
//FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(myDir+File.separator+fname);
File File1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator +
"Application"+File.separator + "/Images" + "Image1-.jpg");
File File2 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator + "Application"+File.separator + "/Images" + fname1);
//String name = in1.getName();
File newname = new File(fname1);
File1.renameTo(newname);
FileUtils.copyDirectory(File1, File2);
}
finally {
in.close();
outStream.close();
}
However, this does not work.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this?
You can read images from directory by this-
file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "image.jpg");
call copyBack() function and pass file path and Name
String shiftedPath = copyBack(file.getAbsolutePath(),newName);
// function use for copy and rename
public String copyBack(String srcPath,String newName) {
//you can defined path of same directory as per your requirement, and just pass new
file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "newName");
file.mkdirs();
try {
// File sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
// File data = Environment.getDataDirectory();
String sourceImagePath = srcPath;
String destinationImagePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
File source = new File(sourceImagePath);
destination = new File(file, ".image");
if (source.exists()) {
FileChannel src = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
FileChannel dst = new FileOutputStream(destination).getChannel();
dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
src.close();
dst.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return destination.getAbsolutePath();
}
This is the method I use to store images.
private String saveImage (Context context, String name, Bitmap image){
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(context);
File dirImages = cw.getDir(Imagenes, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
File myPath = new File(dirImages, name + .png);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try{
fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 10, fos);
fos.flush();
}catch (FileNotFoundException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return myPath.getAbsolutePath();
}
How do I adapt to store audio and video?
Try using this snippet of code:
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO = 2;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO = 3;
/** Create a File for saving an image, video or audio */
public static File getOutputMediaFile(int type){
// To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted
// using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this.
File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "App");
// This locat ion works best if you want the created images to be shared
// between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled.
// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
android.util.Log.d("log", "failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
File mediaFile;
if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
"IMG_"+ "PhotoTemp" + ".png");
} else if(type == MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
"VID_"+ "VideoTemp" + ".mp4");
}
else if(type == MEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO) {
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
"AUD_"+ "AudioTemp" + ".mp3");
}
else {
return null;
}
return mediaFile;
}
And then:
File mediaFile = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO);
if (mediaFile == null) {
android.util.Log.d("log", "Error creating media file, check storage permissions");
return null;
}
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
fos.write(data); //where data is byte[]
fos.close();
While downloding from server which you probably do in chunks in a byte buffer, immediately write every chunk to file
I am attempting to use this reference:
https://www.parse.com/docs/android/guide#files
To understand how to get a file taken by the camera and save it to Parse. I have this code:
private File getOutputMediaFile(int type) {
// External sdcard location
String appName = CameraActivity.this.getString(R.string.app_name);
File mediaStorageDir = new File(
Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
appName);
// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
Log.d(appName, "Oops! Failed create "
+ appName + " directory");
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss",
Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
final File mediaFile;
if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
+ "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
} else {
return null;
}
final ParseFile photoFile;
byte[] data = mediaFile.getBytes();
// Save the scaled image to Parse
photoFile = new ParseFile("profile_photo.jpg", data);
But I get the error: cannot resolve getBytes.
Do I need to convert this file to something else before using getBytes? Is it in the wrong format?
File haven't method getBytes(), you need to convert it to byte array, how is answered here : File to byte[] in Java
Here is my solution, based on this: http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-convert-file-into-an-array-of-bytes/:
private File getOutputMediaFile(int type) {
// External sdcard location
String appName = CameraActivity.this.getString(R.string.app_name);
File mediaStorageDir = new File(
Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
appName);
// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
Log.d(appName, "Oops! Failed create "
+ appName + " directory");
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss",
Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
final File mediaFile;
if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
+ "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
} else {
return null;
}
final ParseFile photoFile;
FileInputStream fileInputStream=null;
byte[] bFile = new byte[(int) mediaFile.length()];
try {
//convert file into array of bytes
fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(mediaFile);
fileInputStream.read(bFile);
fileInputStream.close();
for (int i = 0; i < bFile.length; i++) {
System.out.print((char)bFile[i]);
}
System.out.println("Done");
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Save the image to Parse
photoFile = new ParseFile("profile_photo.jpg", bFile);
photoFile.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e != null) {
} else {
addPhotoToProfile(photoFile);
}
}
});
return mediaFile;
}
private void addPhotoToProfile(ParseFile photoFile) {
mCurrentUser.getCurrentUser();
mCurrentUser.put("ProfilePhoto", photoFile);
}
In the database of my app i have stored a gif image as BLOB. How can i retrive this gif from database and save it to sdcard as gif file? For png and jpeg i know how to do it. How can i achieve this correctly without any library?
For png and jpeg i do like this code:
ByteArrayInputStream imageStream;
imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBlob);
Bitmap image= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
storeImage(image);
private void storeImage(Bitmap image) {
File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile();
if (pictureFile == null)
{
return;
}
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, fos);
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.i("MyApp", "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i("MyApp", "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
//To Get the Path for Image Storage
private File getOutputMediaFile(){
File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/Android/data/"
+ contexto.getPackageName()
+ "/Files");
// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
File mediaFile;
String mImageName="myImage.png";
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + mImageName);
return mediaFile;
}
I tried below with no success. This doesnt create the file. I dont know what is wrong or if im missing something.
ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBlob);
ByteArrayOutputStream byteBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int bufferSize = 1024;
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
int len = 0;
while ((len = imageStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
byteBuffer.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
stream.write(byteBuffer.toByteArray());
Need help please. Thanks in advance.
ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBlob);
Once you have that just save the stream to file. Don't make a bitmap of it and don't use BitmapFactory. You can use that for png, jpg, and gif.
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:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

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
