In my Android application I am downloading a video through an application purchase from Urban Airship.
When I click a particular button in my application the downloading gets started. In such a case, after the download completes fully I want to get a notification or alert so that the button becomes invisible. How can I know that the video has been downloaded completely?
Is there any piece of code I could write to be notified when a download finishes in Android?
private void startDownload() {
String url = PUT HERE YOUR URL;
new DownloadFileAsync().execute(url);
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS:
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
// mProgressDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
mProgressDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.tab_icon_pitchforkfm);
mProgressDialog.setTitle("Downloading file... "
+ GlobalVariable.Getstrpath().toString());
mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
mProgressDialog.setCancelable(true);
mProgressDialog.show();
return mProgressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
class DownloadFileAsync extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
}
/**
* This is used for downloading the file in the background
* process.
*/
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub.
// mp3load();
int len1 = 0;
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(GlobalVariable.Getstr());
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
int lenghtOfFile = c.getContentLength();
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", "Lenght of file: " + lenghtOfFile);
String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
"/download/";
Log.v(LOG_TAG, "PATH: " + PATH);
File file = new File(PATH);
file.mkdirs();
// String fileName = "workTest.mp3";
String fileName = "TEST.mp3";
File outputFile = new File(file, fileName);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
InputStream is = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
// fos.write(buffer, 0, len1);
fos.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
fos.close();
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Error: " + e);
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC", progress[0]);
mProgressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
//refreshList();
Toast.makeText(
FindFilesByType.this,
"Downloading of " + fileName + " complete.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Put your code here. That is, button visible/invisible code, etc. This indicates
//that the file download has completed..
refreshList();
}
}
}
I think you are implementing a thread to download the video. But I suggest implementing the same with AsyncTask (also known as painless threading).
If you use AsyncTask then you need to take care of thread management. For your case, implement the AsyncTask as below.
Do all the downloading tasks inside the doInBackground() method of AsyncTask and implement alert/notification or whatever you want to show inside the onPostExecute() method of AsyncTask.
You should use AsyncTask for that.

I have been stuck for days when developing a function that allow user to check for new app update (I use local server as my distribution point).
The problem is the downloading progress seems working perfectly but I could not find the downloaded file anywhere in my phone (i have no sd card / external memory).
Below is what i have came so far.
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
ProgressDialog pd;
String path = getFilesDir() + "/myapp.apk";
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(DashboardActivity.this);
pd.setTitle("Processing...");
pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
pd.setMax(100);
pd.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pd.setCancelable(true);
//pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.show();
}
/**
* Downloading file in background thread
* */
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
// download the file
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(path);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return path;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
pd.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog after the file was downloaded
if (pd!=null) {
pd.dismiss();
}
// i am going to run the file after download finished
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(file_url)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive" );
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Log.d("Lofting", "About to install new .apk");
getApplicationContext().startActivity(i);
}
}
After the progress dialog reach 100% and dismissed, I could not find the file. I assume that's the reason application cannot continue install downloaded apk.
Did I miss some code ?
I can not believe i solved this.
What I do is replacing:
getFilesDir()
to
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
below I post my final code
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
ProgressDialog pd;
String pathFolder = "";
String pathFile = "";
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(DashboardActivity.this);
pd.setTitle("Processing...");
pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
pd.setMax(100);
pd.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pd.setCancelable(true);
pd.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
pathFolder = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/YourAppDataFolder";
pathFile = pathFolder + "/yourappname.apk";
File futureStudioIconFile = new File(pathFolder);
if(!futureStudioIconFile.exists()){
futureStudioIconFile.mkdirs();
}
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
// this will be useful so that you can show a tipical 0-100%
// progress bar
int lengthOfFile = connection.getContentLength();
// download the file
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(pathFile);
byte data[] = new byte[1024]; //anybody know what 1024 means ?
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
// After this onProgressUpdate will be called
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return pathFile;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
// setting progress percentage
pd.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
if (pd!=null) {
pd.dismiss();
}
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(file_url)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive" );
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplicationContext().startActivity(i);
}
}
Simply put this code to use this class
new DownloadFileFromURL().execute("http://www.yourwebsite.com/download/yourfile.apk");
This code can perform file download to your internal phone storage with a progress bar and continue asking your permission for application install.
Enjoy it.
as we know getFilesDir() returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem where files created, which will give you path /data/data/your package/files
so you can find the file(if downloaded completely) there
i suggest you to read this article:
How to get the each directory path
I am trying to download a file from an online source of mine. The issue I am having is that the browser window keeps appearing as it load into the download server. Is there some way that I may be able to hide this? I already have this code below in the doInBackground portion of an AsyncTask, but cant seem to get it to hide the browser bar. Here is my code at this point:
private class getErDone extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());
progressDialog.setTitle("Downloading Software");
progressDialog.setMessage("Now Updating, DO NOT TURN OFF DEVICE");
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try{
Intent goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
.setData(Uri.parse("http://mydownloadlink.com/myfile?dl=1"));
//**Note** As convincing as it seems, this is not the real download link
startActivity(goToMarket);
}catch (UnknownError e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
/*catch (MalformedURLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (IOException t){
t.printStackTrace();
}*/
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
}
}
Thanks everyone!
here is sample from my code, download without browser:
private TextView mFileDownloadProgressBarPercent;
private ProgressBar mFileDownloadProgressBar;
private Runnable mFileExecutionTaskAfterDownload;
public String fileDownloadedResultPath;
and asynctask:
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
// Before starting background thread
// Show Progress Bar Dialog
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
if(mFileDownloadProgressBar != null)
mFileDownloadProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
if(mFileDownloadProgressBarPercent != null)
mFileDownloadProgressBarPercent.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
// Downloading file in background thread
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
// getting file length
int lenghtOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
// input stream to read file - with 8k buffer
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(), 8192);
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.toString();
File folder = new File(extStorageDirectory, "pdf"); // for example we are downloading pdf's so store in pdf dir.
folder.mkdir();
File subFolder = new File(extStorageDirectory+"/pdf", "fileId"); // here you can place files by id of category etc..
subFolder.mkdir();
String fileName = url.toString().substring(url.toString().lastIndexOf("/")+1);
fileDownloadedResultPath = subFolder + "/" + fileName;
// Output stream to write file
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(subFolder + "/" + fileName);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress(""+(int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
if(mFileDownloadProgressBar != null)
mFileDownloadProgressBar.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
if(mFileDownloadProgressBarPercent != null)
mFileDownloadProgressBarPercent.setText(mContext.getString(R.string.downloading_file) + " " + String.format("%s%%",Integer.parseInt(progress[0])+""));
}
#Override

I have an android app which downloads a video by clicking a button and saves it on user's device. when users click on the button the app checks if the video is in users' device, and if it is not it downloads the video and if it has been downloaded the app just plays the video without the need to download.
However when the download crashes the file is there , but the app can't plays it and gets tricked that the file has been downloaded already.
I wanted to ask if there are any ways to check if the download process has crashed or the file is corrupted.
Thanks
You can use AsyncTask as below to check if the download was interupted or not.
Below code is just for example purpose
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
initialText.setText(getString(R.string.connecting));
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
String fileURL = f_url[0];
if (fileURL.contains(" ")) {
fileURL = fileURL.replace(" ", "%20");
}
URL url = new URL(fileURL);
filename = f_url[0].substring(fileURL.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
// getting file length
int lengthOfFile = connection.getContentLength();
// input stream to read file - with 8k buffer
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(), 8192);
File file = new File(FilePath);
if (!file.exists()) {
if (!file.isDirectory()) {
file.mkdirs();
}
}
// Output stream to write file
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(FilePath + filename);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
setSubTitle(getString(R.string.downloading));
initialText.setText(ad_tv_initialText.getText().toString() + getString(R.string.connected));
}
});
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
// After this onProgressUpdate will be called
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
return "SUCCESS";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "FAILED";
}
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
progress.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
progressText.setText(progress[0] + " %");
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
if (result.equals("SUCCESS")) {
takeDecisionToPlay();
} else if (result.equals("FAILED")) {
setSubTitle(getString(R.string.failed_));
finalText.setText(getString(R.string.failed));
}
}
}
i want to download file from url. http://opengov.dev.ifabrika.ru/upload/435/IF_Заявка_Программист PHP_2013-09-03.docx - you can try it, it work. My code is next:

After this a saw new test.docx file in my root folder, but its size is 26 byte and i can not open it.
This happening because your url is in unicoded form so you have to first encode it then try to download
URLEncoder.encode(Url, "UTF-8")
It works for me.
You can try with this method by calling this method from your doInBackground
private void downloader(String urlstr) {
HttpURLConnection c = null;
FileInputStream fis = null;
FileOutputStream fbo = null;
File file = null, file1;
File outputFile = null;
InputStream is = null;
URL url = null;
try {
outputFile = new File(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
+ "/test.docx");
if(outputFile.exists())
Log.e("File delete",outputFile.delete()+"");
fbo = new FileOutputStream(outputFile, false);
// connect with server where remote file is stored to download it
url = new URL(urlstr);
c = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.setConnectTimeout(0);
c.connect();
is = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
fbo.write(buffer, 0, len1);
Log.e("length", len1+"----");
}
fbo.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
if (c != null)
c.disconnect();
if (fbo != null)
try {
fbo.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (is != null)
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
file = null;
outputFile = null;
}
}
I think Problem is you used only URLConnection class instead of HttpUrlConnection class. refer below link
Download a file with Android, and showing the progress in a ProgressDialog
Hey I have checked your link which you got after encoding...The Problem here is the + character which replaced the white space http://opengov.dev.ifabrika.ru/upload/435/IF_Заявка_Программист+PHP_2013-09-03.docx.....TO resolve this issue replace your + character with %20 and then try....This will definitely work... and you can also do that before encoding i.e replace your white space with %20...so the final link should be like http://opengov.dev.ifabrika.ru/upload/435/IF_Заявка_Программист%20PHP_2013-09-03.docx
I have used the following class for downloading a file and saving it to the sdcard.
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) {

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(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"PurchasedFrames/"+filename);
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]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
File file = new File("/sdcard/PurchasedFrames/", filename );
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
ImageView frame = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.frame);
frame.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
}
}
Dialog method
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;

return null;
}
}
My problem using the above codes, progressBar will appear but it will disappear without finishing and no download occur. I could't notice any logcat error or any other error from debugging. Can anybody tell what can be happen or how to overcome from this problem?
So my assumption was correct. In my application I used a static method for returning a file path that calls mkdirs() in case that such path doesn't exist.
For your code such method would look so:
public static File getSaveFilePath(String fileName) {
File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "PurchasedFrames");
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dir, fileName);
return file;
}
Then replace the line with output stream:
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(getSaveFilePath(fileName));
Also replace your exception block with catch (Exception e) { Log.e("DownloadFileAsync", e.toString()); "}
