Unable to Unzip file when downloaded from URL, but works when downloaded from FTP

I am trying to download an e-book from URL and unzip it, which further goes for display. While the same unzip logic works perfectly for a FTP download, when it comes to URL, unzipping method does nothing after download.
My book download calling method :
DownloadBook db = new DownloadBook(localFile,"some url",book.key,context,(TaskListener) result -> {
if (result) {
runOnUiThread(() -> pBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE));
Runnable t = (Runnable) () -> {
unzip(localFile.getPath(), b.key.replace(".zip",""), b);
isDownloaded = true;
//Deleting downlaoded zip file
System.out.println("zip file deleted - "+localFile.delete());
String urls = localFile.getPath() + "/" + ((b.key).replace(".zip", ""));
System.out.println("URL IS " + urls);
System.out.println("Going for Display");
GlobalVars.title = b.title;
Intent intent = new Intent(My_Library.this, DisplayActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);//
};
t.run();
} else {
runOnUiThread(() ->
{
alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Error");
alert.setMessage("Could not download. Please try again !")
.setCancelable(true)
.setNegativeButton("Continue", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Intent intent = new Intent(My_Library.this, My_Library.class);
startActivity(intent);
dialog.cancel();
}
});
alert.create();
alert.show();
}
);
}
});
The zip file download method :
t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputStream input = null;
OutputStream output = null;
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
try {
URL url = new URL("some url");
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
int fileLength = connection.getContentLength();
// download the file
input = connection.getInputStream();
output = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
byte data[] = new byte[4096];
long total = 0;
int count;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
System.out.println("Total is "+total);
if(fileLength>0)
{
System.out.println("File length is "+fileLength+" local file length is "+localFile.length());
percent = (int) (total * 100 / fileLength);
System.out.println("FTP_DOWNLOAD bytesTransferred /downloaded -> " + percent);
mProgress.setProgress(percent);
}
output.write(count);
output.flush();
}
mListener.finished(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
mListener.finished(false);
} finally {
try {
output.flush();
if (output != null)
output.close();
if (input != null)
input.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
connection.disconnect();
}
The unzip method
public void unzip(String _zipFile, String _targetLocation, Book b) {
pBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
GlobalVars.path = _targetLocation;
_targetLocation = getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getPath();
dirChecker(_targetLocation);
try {
BufferedInputStream fin = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(_zipFile));
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(fin);
ZipEntry ze = null;
while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
System.out.println("Unzipping file -> " + ze.getName());
//create dir if required while unzipping
if (ze.isDirectory()) {
dirChecker(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getPath() + "/" + ze.getName());
} else {
File f = new File(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getPath() + "/" + ze.getName());
dirChecker(f.getParent());
long size = f.length();
BufferedOutputStream fout = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(String.valueOf(f.getAbsoluteFile()))));
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read = 0;
while ((read = zin.read(buffer)) != -1) {
fout.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
zin.closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
zin.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
The FTP download class method Unzip works absolutely fine. But as I try to put download from url, it just downloads but not unzips.

You have to change the output buffer writing method.
So instead of, in zip download method
output.write(count);
Use,
output.write(data,0,count);

Android copy file from internal storage to external

I am trying to Copy file from internal memory card to external memory card
By googling i found this answer
try {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("/storage/sdcard1/bluetooth/file7.zip"); // Memory card path
File myFile = new File("/storage/sdcard/"); //
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
// Copy the bits from instream to outstream
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();
session.showToast("file copied sucessfully");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
showToast(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
showToast(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
its work for internal move to internal or external storage to external
but cross transferring do not work its throws an error Erofs read only file system

Try some thing like this:
new FileAsyncTask().execute(files);
and
// AsyncTask for Background Process
private class FileAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<ArrayList<String>, Void, Void> {
ArrayList<String> files;
ProgressDialog dialog;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog = ProgressDialog.show(ActivityName.this, "Your Title", "Loading...");
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(ArrayList<String>... params) {
files = params[0];
for (int i = 0; i < files.size(); i++) {
copyFileToSDCard(files.get(i));
} return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
// Function to copy file to the SDCard
public void copyFileToSDCard(String fileFrom){
AssetManager is = this.getAssets();
InputStream fis;
try {
fis = is.open(fileFrom);
FileOutputStream fos;
if (!APP_FILE_PATH.exists()) {
APP_FILE_PATH.mkdirs();
}
fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/MyProject", fileFrom));
byte[] b = new byte[8];
int i;
while ((i = fis.read(b)) != -1) {
fos.write(b, 0, i);
}
fos.flush();
fos.close();
fis.close();
}
catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static boolean copyFile(String from, String to) {
try {
int bytesum = 0;
int byteread = 0;
File oldfile = new File(from);
if (oldfile.exists()) {
InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(from);
FileOutputStream fs = new FileOutputStream(to);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1444];
while ((byteread = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
bytesum += byteread;
fs.write(buffer, 0, byteread);
}
inStream.close();
fs.close();
}
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}

Try this, Replace this line:
File myFile = new File("/storage/sdcard/");
with:
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
// path to /data/data/yourapp/app_data/imageDir
File myFile = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

Send large file in Android fast

I want to send 18 mb Data. It is working. But I have to wait too long that I get Email.
Code:
public void sendEmail()
{
emailSendReceiver = new EmailSendBroadcastReceiver();
EmailSend emailSend = new EmailSend();
emailSend.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR);
}
public class EmailSend extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean>
{
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params)
{
boolean bResult = false;
String sDeviceID = configReader.getXmlValue(KEY_ID);
Mail m = new Mail("test#gmail.com", "testpass");
String[] toArr = {"toEmail#gmail.com"};
m.setTo(toArr);
m.setFrom("noreply#something.com");
m.setSubject("device number : "+sDeviceID );
m.setBody("device number : "+sDeviceID);
try
{
String sTxtFileName = sDeviceID+"_"+".txt";
String sFileUrl = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/data_source/"+sTxtFileName;
m.addAttachment(sFileUrl);
if(m.send())
{
bResult = true;
}
else
{
// something
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result)
{
super.onPostExecute(result);
if(result == true)
{
// something
}
}
}
}
The Question is. How can I make it faster? I have 6 AsyncTask. And I don't like to make it with activity.

As suggested by all It would be handy to zip or gzip the file. The same is available in
java.util.zip*
package. Furthermore you could find help for the same here

public void makeZip(String sFile, String zipFileName)
{
FileOutputStream dest = null;
ZipOutputStream out;
byte data[];
FileInputStream fi = null;
int count;
try
{
dest = new FileOutputStream(zipFileName);
out = new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(dest));
data = new byte[BUFFER];
fi = new FileInputStream(sFile);
BufferedInputStream origin = new BufferedInputStream(fi, BUFFER);
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(sFile);
out.putNextEntry(entry);
while((count = origin.read(data, 0, BUFFER)) != -1)
{
out.write(data, 0, count);
}
origin.close();
out.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Monitoring BufferedInputStream download progress

I'm trying to download a file using an AsyncTask on Android. I want to display a ProgressDialog which should have a progress bar to show the status of the download. I'm using the onProgressUpdate() function for that and implemented a call to publishProgress() in my doInBackground() function. However, the progress dialog only pops up after downloading the file. My code:
protected Long doInBackground(URL...urls) {
for (int i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
url = urls[i];
try {
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
totalSize = conn.getContentLength();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/forvo_temp.mp3");
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos,1024);
byte [] data = new byte[1024];
int x=0; int c=0;
while((x=bis.read(data,0,1024))>=0){
bos.write(data,0,x);
c += 1024;
publishProgress(c);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return 0L; // Don't know what to do with this
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer...args) {
pd = ProgressDialog.show(context, "Downloading...", "Downloading...", true, false);
pd.setProgress(args[0] / totalSize);
}
I guess the whole file is downloaded when I call new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream()). How can I monitor the download progress?

Wrap URL input stream with you own InputStream that just reads bytes and "monitors" the status, e.g. sends notifications.
It is simple: InputStream is an abstract class with only one abstract method:
public abstract int read() throws IOException;
In your case it should read bytes from stream that it wraps.
public class NotifcationInputStream extends InputStream {
private InputStream in;
private int count;
private Collection<ByteListener> listeners = new ArrayList<ByteListener>();
NotificationInputStream(InputStream in) {
this.in = in;
}
public int read() throws IOException {
int b = in.read();
byteReceived(b);
return b;
}
public void addListener(ByteListener listener) {
listeners.add(listener);
}
private void byteReceived(int b) {
for (ByteListener l : listeners) {
l.byteReceived(b, ++count);
}
}
}
public interface ByteListener extends EventListener {
public void byteReceived(int b, int count);
}
The problem here is how to show the process bar: you have to know total number of bytes. You can get it from HTTP header content-length if your resource is static. Otherwise you need appropriate server support or heuristics.

This code is useful showing download items totol size and downloaded size.
private static final int DOWNLOAD_ONPROGRESS = 1;
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DOWNLOAD_ONPROGRESS:
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
progressDialog.setMessage("Downloading latest ...");
progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
try {
progressDialog.show();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return progressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
You can use AsyncTask for downloading the version in background.
private class DownLoad extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
logger.info("LoadDataAsync onPreExecute");
showDialog(DOWNLOAD_ONPROGRESS);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... aurl) {
int count = 0;
try {
URL url = new URL(aurl[0]);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
urlConnection.connect();
int contentlength = urlConnection.getContentLength();
progressDialog.setMax(contentlength);
String PATH = "";
File file = null;
if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/download/";
file = new File(PATH);
file.mkdirs();
File outputFile = new File(file, "telfaz.apk");
OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
long len1 = 0;
while ((count = is.read(buffer)) != -1
&& !downLoad.isCancelled()) {
len1 += count;
publishProgress("" + len1);
fos.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
fos.flush();
fos.close();
is.close();
}
logger.info("Success -> file downloaded succesfully. returning 'success' code");
return Util.APK_DOWNLOAD_SUCCESS;
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Exception in update process : "
+ Util.getStackTrace(e));
}
logger.info("Failed -> file download failed. returning 'error' code");
return Util.APK_DOWNLOAD_FAILED;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
logger.info("on DownLoad onPostExecute. result : " + result);
progressDialog.dismiss();
removeDialog(DOWNLOAD_ONPROGRESS);
if (result.equalsIgnoreCase(Util.APK_DOWNLOAD_SUCCESS)) {
Update();
} else {
Toast.makeText(DownloadAllContentsActivity.this,
getString(R.string.updateApplicationFailed),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
loadDataAsync.execute();
}
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
if (values != null && values.length > 0) {
progressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(values[0]));
}
}
}

How to cancel an AsyncTask after it has been executed?

I use AsyncTask with Progress Dialog for downloading a database from a server. I want to provide user with an option of cancellation the downloading task.
My purpose is to dismiss Progress Dialog and cancel AsyncTask when user click on Cancel button on Progress Dialog.
I have applied numerous code examples but they help to dismiss Progress Dialog only and fail to stop or cancel the downloading task.
Regarding my code lines below, can you please give a little help? Many thanks.

see you should keep track of your DownloadFile(aSyncTask) class object.
Create a new variable in your
public class Download_gram extends Activity {
// File url to download
private static String url = "http://www.abc.123.zip";
private static DownloadFile newTask; // ADDED BY ME
// ... ...
you should save the object reference when you call
new DownloadFile().execute("Url String"); //you must be doing this
//instead you should do
newTask = new DownloadFile();
newTask.execute("Url String"); // YOUR OBJECT IS IN newTask
...
// keep track of this newTask variable
// when ever you want to cancel just call
newTask.cancel(true); // ADDED BY ME
dialog.dismiss();//In fact, I want to apply the code to stop both Progress Dialog and AsynTask here.
after setting newTask to cancel, you should check timely in doInBackground that is you task is canceled ? if yes then exit doInBackground
// YOU CAN USE THIS IN WHILE LOOP OF doInBakcground
if(isCancelled())return (null);
//This will exit doInBackground function and hence cancel task.
// you can perform other operations too in this "if" statement as per your need.
for reference of these functions
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#cancel(boolean)
##################### New Version ################.
you haven't checked is the task is canceled or not. you have to check everywhere downloading is taking place in asynctask if iscancelled is true return (null); to halt asynctask and stop downloading.
you should replace following code:
while ((count = is.read(data)) != -1) { // inside doInBackground
total += count;
publishProgress(""+(int)((total*100)/fileLength));
// writing data to file
os.write(data, 0, count);
if(isCancelled())return (null); // ADDED BY ME
}
above added line is must this will check if task is canceled this doInBackground function should be over.

You should to
yourAsyncTask.cancel(true);
and, inside your class DownloadFile, you should to check for isCanceled() and do a return if true.

You can do it in this way,
progressDialog.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener(){
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
yourAysncTask.cancel(true);
}
});
