Faisal,
You should be able to save the data retrieved from the URL connection
to a FileOutputStream.
e.g:
FileOutputStream out = null;
InputStream stream = null;
File temp = null;
try {
long prod = 0l;
URL url = new URL(urlPath);
URLConnection cn = url.openConnection();
cn.connect();
stream = cn.getInputStream();
if (stream == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("stream is null");
}
temp = new File("/sdcard/" + nameOfFile);
out = new FileOutputStream(temp);
byte buf[] = new byte[1024];
do {
int numread = stream.read(buf);
if (numread <= 0)
break;
out.write(buf, 0, numread);
prod += numread;
updateDisplay(prod, false);
} while (true);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(APP_TAG, "error: " + e.getMessage(), e);
} finally {
try {
out.close();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e(APP_TAG, "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
}
try {
stream.close();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e(APP_TAG, "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
}
}
Oh, and make sure you've set up android.permission.READ_OWNER_DATA and
android.permission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA permissions in your
AndroidManifest.xml, of course.
