Download Image from Url and covert into byte array - android

I'm receiving URL of images and other data from API and showing images into recyclerview, I want to store images in room database in a byte array format, but I'm getting an error while converting image URL to a byte array. My app is crashing at url.openstream();.
private byte[] getByteArrayImage(String imageUrl) {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(imageUrl);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
byte[] chunk = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead;
InputStream stream = url.openStream();
while ((bytesRead = stream.read(chunk)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(chunk, 0, bytesRead);
}
url.openStream().close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return outputStream.toByteArray();
}

There are a couple of problems with your code:
As already noted in a comment, you call openStream() twice.
If an exception occurs, close() won't be called in your code. Use try-with-resources instead.
Propagate exceptions to the caller. The caller will generally want to know the exception message.
Don't ever use printStackTrace(). This is the worst way to report errors.
After the first printStackTrace(), you continue with a null URI, which will cause a NullPointerException.
The method should be static.
Here's how I would write this:
private static byte[] getImageBytes(String imageUrl) throws IOException
{
URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try (InputStream stream = url.openStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
while (true)
{
int bytesRead = stream.read(buffer);
if (bytesRead < 0) { break; }
output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
return output.toByteArray();
}

I recommend below pseudo code to read data from URL:
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
try
{
URL url = new URL("you'r address");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int r;
while((r = isr.read()) != -1)
{
sb.append(r);
}
byte buffer[] = sb.toString().getBytes();
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i("tag" , "MalformedURLException"+e.getMessage());
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i("tag" , "IOException"+e.getMessage());
}
}
});
t.start();

After downloading whole (84M) file from dropbox it turning into 0 bytes

I am downloading a zip file from dropbox. When it keeps downloading I measure the file size and get it is increasing its size with the Below code. It downloads whole 84M and after finishing download it turns into 0 bytes. What wrong am I actually doing?
public static void downloadDropBox(File file) {
String url = "https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jx4b2wvqg8d4ze1/AAA0J3LztkRc6FJ5tKy4dUKha?dl=1";
int bytesRead;
byte[] bytesArray = new byte[1024];
InputStream is = null;
FileOutputStream outputStream = null;
long progres = 0;
try {
URL fileUrl = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)fileUrl.openConnection();
connection.connect();
is = connection.getInputStream();
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
while ((bytesRead = is.read(bytesArray, 0, 1024)) != -1) {
outputStream.write(bytesArray, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (is != null) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (outputStream != null) {
try {
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

url is the same url given as a parameter to this servlet

YouTube download URLs are intended for one-time use only -- they are bound to the IP range that they were initially generated for, and expire after some time. Hard-coding one in your application, as you've done here, will lead to inevitable failure.

URL - FileNotFoundException for image file in Android

I'm trying to get a image from particular URL but it throwsFileNotFoundException. If I try to open the url from my browser, i can see the images. Please help. Below is my code. Thanks.
String fileURL = "http://sposter.smartag.my/images/KFC_Voucher.jpg";
String FILENAME = "caldophilus.jpg";
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File(root, FILENAME));
InputStream x=c.getInputStream();
int size=x.available();
byte b[]= new byte[size];
x.read(b);
f.write(b);
f.flush();
f.close();

i try this and its work fine. Thanks.
URL url = new URL(fileURL);
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("/sdcard/caldophilus.jpg");
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();

Try this:
BufferedInputStream inputStream = null;
OutputStream out = null;
String fileName = null;
String path = null;
File savedFile = null;
try
{
// Replace your URL here.
URL fileURL = new URL("http://enter.your.url.here");
URLConnection connection = fileURL.openConnection();
connection.connect();
inputStream = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
// Replace your save path here.
File fileDir = new File("path/to/save");
fileDir.mkdirs();
savedFile = new File("path/to/save", fileName);
out = new FileOutputStream(savedFile);
byte buf[] = new byte[1024];
int len;
long total = 0;
while ((len = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
total += len;
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.close();
inputStream.close();
}
catch (Exception)
{
}

Try the below code. It should work!
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.URL;
public class DownloadManager {
public static void downLoadImage(String imageURL, String destinationFileName) throws IOException {
URL url = new URL(imageURL);
InputStream inputStream = url.openStream();
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(destinationFileName);
byte[] byteData = new byte[2048];
int length;
while((length=inputStream.read(byteData))!=-1) {
outputStream.write(byteData, 0, length);
}
inputStream.close();
outputStream.close();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String imageURL = "http://sposter.smartag.my/images/KFC_Voucher.jpg";
String destinationFileName = "C:/Users/sarath_sivan/Desktop/caldophilus.jpg";
downLoadImage(imageURL, destinationFileName);
}
}

Try this at once -
try {
url = paths[0];
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url
.openConnection();
int length = connection.getContentLength();
InputStream is = (InputStream) url.getContent();
byte[] imageData = new byte[length];
int buffersize = (int) Math.ceil(length / (double) 100);
int downloaded = 0;
int read;
while (downloaded < length) {
if (length < buffersize) {
read = is.read(imageData, downloaded, length);
} else if ((length - downloaded) <= buffersize) {
read = is.read(imageData, downloaded, length
- downloaded);
} else {
read = is.read(imageData, downloaded, buffersize);
}
downloaded += read;
publishProgress((downloaded * 100) / length);
}
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageData, 0,
length);
if (bitmap != null) {
Log.i(TAG, "Bitmap created");
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "Bitmap not created");
}
is.close();
return bitmap;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Malformed exception: " + e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "IOException: " + e.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.toString());
}
And, just take a look at here

In ...
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File(root, FILENAME));
Try replacing FILENAME with fileURL.
Also, at which line is the exception thrown? That would help.

String fileURL = "http://sposter.smartag.my/images/KFC_Voucher.jpg";
String FILENAME = "caldophilus.jpg";
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
//c.setDoOutput(true); =========== remove this;
c.connect();

how to resume an interrupted download

I'm trying to download a large file from my Yahoo! web site server which apparently is setup (not by me) to disconnect downloads if they are not completed within 100 seconds. The file is small enough to usually successfully transfer. On the occasions when the data rate is slow and the download gets disconnected, is there a way to resume the URLConnection at the file offset where the disconnection occurred? Here's the code:
// Setup connection.
URL url = new URL(strUrl[0]);
URLConnection cx = url.openConnection();
cx.connect();
// Setup streams and buffers.
int lengthFile = cx.getContentLength();
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(strUrl[1]);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
// Download file.
for (total=0; (count=input.read(data, 0, 1024)) != -1; total+=count) {
publishProgress((int)(total*100/lengthFile));
output.write(data, 0, count);
Log.d("AsyncDownloadFile", "bytes: " + total);
}
// Close streams.
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();

Try using a "Range" request header:
// Open connection to URL.
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
// Specify what portion of file to download.
connection.setRequestProperty("Range", "bytes=" + downloaded + "-");
// here "downloaded" is the data length already previously downloaded.
// Connect to server.
connection.connect();
Having done that, you can seek at a given point (just before the length of your download data, say X) and start writing the newly downloaded data there. Be sure to use the same value X for the range header.
