Download files in android

I am trying to write an application that downloads files in the background. The code crashes when it tries to reenter doInBackground(). This happens when doing is set to false before returning. Code follows -
public class DownloadFile extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
private boolean doing;
private Activity activity;
private Intent intent;
private File beta;
private File alpha;
public DownloadFile(Activity act, Intent intent) {
this.activity = act;
this.intent = intent;
doing = false;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... sUrl) {
int fileCount = 0;
if (!download(sUrl[0] + "list.txt",
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/alpha/list.txt")){
setDoing(false);
return "Download failed";//list.txt could not be downloaded. return error message.
}
fileCount++;
beta = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/beta/");
File betalist = new File(beta + "/list.txt");
alpha = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/alpha/");
File alphalist = new File(alpha + "/list.txt");
//verify that the file is changed.
if (alphalist.lastModified() == betalist.lastModified()// these two are
// never equal.
|| alphalist.length() == betalist.length()) { // better to check
// the length of
// the files.
setDoing(false);
return "Nothing to download.";
}
try {
FileReader inAlpha = new FileReader(alphalist);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(inAlpha);
String s;
// read the name of each file in a loop
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
// if(fileExistsInBeta(s)){
// copyFromBetaToAlpha(s);
// continue;
// }
// download the file.
//Url will truncate the trailing / so keep if statement as is.
if (!download(sUrl[0] + s,
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/alpha/"
+ s)){
setDoing(false);
return "Failed at " + s;// the given file could not be downloaded. return error.
}
fileCount++;
}
br.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.e("Pankaj", e.getMessage());

// rename alpha to beta

}
File upper = new File(alpha + "/upper/");
if (!upper.exists())

// ConfLoader.getInstance().reload();//to refresh the settings
// restart the activity

in the main activity -
public void run() {
if (!downloadFile.isDoing()) {
downloadFile.execute(ConfLoader.getInstance().getListUrl());
downloadFile.setDoing(true);
}
// change the delay so that it covers the time for download and
// doesn't overlap causing multiple downloads jamming the bandwidth.
h.postDelayed(this, 1000);//check after 60 sec.
}
in the onCreate() -
downloadFile = new DownloadFile(this, getIntent());
h = new Handler();
h.postDelayed(this, 1000);
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
The logcat error is Cannot execute task the task is already running.
Cannot execute task: Task has already been executed(A task can only be executed once).
EDIT:
Is it possible that the error is because I am trying to execute the asynchtask again in run(). Perhaps AsynchTask does not allow re-entry.

Try using this
1. First create a dialogue
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS:
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
mProgressDialog.setMessage("Downloading file..");
mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
mProgressDialog.setCancelable(false);
mProgressDialog.show();
return mProgressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
The download async task
class DownloadFileAsync extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... aurl) {
int count;
File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
//
File dir = new File (root.getAbsolutePath()+"/Downl");
if(dir.exists()==false) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(dir, url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/")+1)); //name of file
try {
URL url = new URL(aurl[0]);
URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
conexion.connect();
int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", "Lenght of file: " + lenghtOfFile);
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1)
{
total += count;
publishProgress(""+(int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC",progress[0]);
mProgressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
Toast.makeText(DisplayActivity.this,"Successfully downloaded in phone memory.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
Call the async new DownloadFileAsync().execute(url); //pass ur url

i don't know why my code isn't working, my progress bar won't update and file not send.
Anyone can help me? thx before

You've got a lot of code, but as long as I know, the receiver should use an AsyncTask, that's how I do it and it works for me. Instead of a thread use an Asynctask and the OnProgressUpdate method of the AsyncTask to update the ProgressDialog in the main thread.
For example:
public class getFile extends AsyncTask<Void, String, Void>
{
ProgressDialog pB;
String hostAddress=null;
InetSocketAddress socketAddress;
Socket socket=null;
ServerSocket serverSocket=null;
int port=3001;
int SOCKET_TIMEOUT = 3000;
public getFile(String _hostAddress, Context context)
{
this.pB = new ProgressDialog(context);
this.pB.setTitle(context.getText(R.string.sYourMessageText);
this.pB.setMessage(null);
this.pB.setProgressNumberFormat(null);
this.pB.setProgressPercentFormat(null);
this.pB.setCancelable(false);
Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.x_greenprogress);
pB.setProgressDrawable(d);
pB.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
hostAddress=_hostAddress;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
this.pB.show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
try {
//sent ip
socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(this.hostAddress, port);
socket = new Socket();
socket.bind(null);
socket.connect(socketAddress, SOCKET_TIMEOUT);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())), true);
out.println(messsage);
out.flush();
out.close();
socket.close();
socket = null;
//receive file
socket = new Socket();
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(portal);
socket = serverSocket.accept();
final String name;
final String ext;
String[] tokens = filename.split("\\.(?=[^\\.]+$)");
name = tokens[0];
ext = tokens[1];
final File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/"
+ getPackageName() + "/" + name + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ "." + ext);
File dirs = new File(f.getParent());
if (!dirs.exists())
dirs.mkdirs();
f.createNewFile();
InputStream is = socket.getInputStream();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
byte buf[] = new byte[1024];
while ((len = is.read(buf)) != -1)
{
bos.write(buf, 0, len);
bos.flush();
fileSize+=len;
// to update the progress bar just call:
this.publishProgress("" + (int) ((fileSize * 100) / filelength));
}
is.close();
fos.close();
bos.close();
socket.close();
serverSocket.close();
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress)
{
this.pB.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
{
if (this.pB.isShowing())
this.pB.dismiss();
}
}
EDIT:
By the way, why do you connect to the server, send an IP close the connection and wait for the server to connect? Why don't use the first socket to do the file transfer? The connection has already been established.

How to write XML file on Android, getting from remote server

I need sometimes read XML file from remote server, and replace data in XML on my Android device.
I read data through XmlPullParser:
XmlPullParser users;
try {
URL xmlUrl = new URL("http://xx.xx.xx.xx/1.xml");
users = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance().newPullParser();
users.setInput(xmlUrl.openStream(), null);
}
How can I replace it on Android?

Simply use this code, it's overwrites the file with the new file you download from the internet.
public static boolean downloadFile(String fileToDownload, File newPath,
String newFileName) {
try {
URL url = new URL(fileToDownload);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url
.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlConnection.connect();
if (!newPath.isDirectory()) {
CreateLog.createFolder(newPath.toString());
}
File file = new File(newPath.toString() + "/" + newFileName);
if (!file.isFile()) {
CreateLog.writeLogToFile(newPath.toString() + newFileName,
"%TEMP%");
}
FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);
InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bufferLength = 0;
while ((bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
}
fileOutput.close();
return true;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
CreateLog.addToLog(e.toString());
return false;
} catch (IOException e) {
CreateLog.addToLog(e.toString());
return false;
}
}
public static void createFolder(String filePath) {
File createFolder = new File(filePath);
createFolder.mkdirs();
}
A cleaner method is to use a Asynctask, the code runs in a new thread. But it's a bit harder to code.
private class GetProblems extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
for (String myUrl : params) {
try {
URL url = new URL(myUrl);
URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();
ucon.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/xml");
InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
int current = 0;
while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
baf.append((byte) current);
}
String str = new String(baf.toByteArray(), "UTF8");
return str;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
CreateLog.addToLog("[GetProblems] " + e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
CreateLog.addToLog("[GetProblems] " + e.toString());
}
}
return "error";
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
// updateProgressBar(values[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
...write result to a file
}
}
Run the AsyncTask code:
new GetProblems().execute("http://myurl.com/xmlfile.xml");

Getting a file size mismatch with android download code

I'm downloading a file from a server and for some reason i can't determine, the downloaded file size doesn't match the original file size. Here's my code.
private class dl extends AsyncTask<String,Integer,Void>
{
int size;
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try{
URL myFileUrl = new URL("http://10.0.2.2:8080/testdlapps/chrome-beta.zip");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) myFileUrl.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setConnectTimeout(5000);
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
size = conn.getContentLength();
Log.v("INFO---------------------", "size is " +size);
FileOutputStream fout1 = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/"+"xyz.zip");
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fout1);
byte[] b = new byte[1024]; int i=0, count=0;
while((count = is.read(b)) != -1)
{
bos.write(b,0,count);
i+=count;
publishProgress(i);
Log.v("INFO----------------------------",""+count);
}
fout1.close();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.v("INFO--------------------------","Error!!");
Log.v("INFO--------------------------",e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
tv.setText("downloaded " + progress[0] + "/" + size ); //tv is a TextView
}
}
When i run the app, after the download completes, count and size are the same but the actual file size i.e /mnt/sdcard/xyz.zip is always less than size. Any ideas what going wrong?

override onPostExecute and check if actually it finishes, perhaps here a code to download with resume support,
pay attention because if you press back the download may still run:
if (isCancelled())
return false;
in the loop is needed because the close() on the socket will hang on exit without you noticeing it
here is the code:
class DownloaderTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Boolean>
{
private ProgressDialog mProgress;
private Context mContext;
private Long mFileSize;
private Long mDownloaded;
private String mDestFile;
public DownloaderTask(Context context, String path)
{
mContext = context;
mFileSize = 1L;
mDownloaded = 0L;
mDestFile = path;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
mProgress = new ProgressDialog(mContext);
mProgress.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
mProgress.setMessage("Downloading...");
mProgress.setCancelable(true);
mProgress.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
mProgress.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener()
{
#Override
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog)
{
DownloaderTask.this.cancel(true);
}
});
mProgress.show();
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... percent)
{
mProgress.setProgress(percent[0]);
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... urls)
{
FileOutputStream fos = null;
BufferedInputStream in = null;
BufferedOutputStream out = null;
AndroidHttpClient mClient = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("AndroidDownloader");
try
{
HttpResponse response = null;
HttpHead head = new HttpHead(urls[0]);
response = mClient.execute(head);
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK)
return false;
Boolean resumable = response.getLastHeader("Accept-Ranges").getValue().equals("bytes");
File file = new File(mDestFile);
mFileSize = (long) Integer.parseInt(response.getLastHeader("Content-Length").getValue());
mDownloaded = file.length();
if (!resumable || (mDownloaded >= mFileSize))
{
Log.e(TAG, "Invalid size / Non resumable - removing file");
file.delete();
mDownloaded = 0L;
}
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(urls[0]);
if (mDownloaded > 0)
{
Log.i(TAG, "Resume download from " + mDownloaded);
get.setHeader("Range", "bytes=" + mDownloaded + "-");
}
response = mClient.execute(get);
if ((response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK) && (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_PARTIAL_CONTENT))
return false;
if (mDownloaded > 0)
publishProgress((int) ((mDownloaded / mFileSize) * 100));
in = new BufferedInputStream(response.getEntity().getContent());
fos = new FileOutputStream(file, true);
out = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
int n = 0;
while ((n = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1)
{
if (isCancelled())
return false;
out.write(buffer, 0, n);
mDownloaded += n;
publishProgress((int) ((mDownloaded / (float) mFileSize) * 100));
}
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
} finally
{
try
{
mClient.close();
if (in != null)
in.close();
if (out != null)
out.close();
if (fos != null)
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onCancelled()
{
finish();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result)
{
if (mProgress.isShowing())
mProgress.dismiss();
if (result)
// done
else
// error
}
}

If it is a chunked response, the content-length in the header will be a guess at best.
