View 1 RepliesI have to download a file and I'm using this code, which is basically an AsyncTask that is meant to update a progress bar. But, since I don't know what's the file size I've been having to use the spinner progress bar. So, how can I get the file size before start downloading it so that I can use a normal progress bar?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

I run a site that offers .pkg files to my users for download to there device. The issue is instead of downloading the .pkg file it just displays the raw code of the .pkg file in the webview. How can I get this to force download to the root of the sd card? Here is what I have

When I download a file from web in android, then I want to show a progress bar in notification area of status bar through service, but I am not able to do this. How can i do it? I am not able to pass the file length in service. I am giving URL in EditText, and I am clicking Download Button. After Click A class will be called on Click Listener, this class is having a function. In that function I am doing processing or functionality of downloading, Now I want to show the progress bar in Notification Area Through service, but I can not able to do this.

Does the X use a FAT32 file system? Is there any way to change this? I'm asking because I have a 4+GB mkv file I want to put on it, but I'm getting a message telling me its too large for the file system. If no way to change, then can anyone suggest a way to make this file small enough to fit?

I have an application that I'd like to add auto-update functionality (its not in the marketplace). I have all the code in place that would check to see if there is an update available and then i call something like this: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW ,Uri.parse(Configuration.APK_URL)); c.startActivity(intent); which starts downloading the file, although is there a way that I can programatically tell it to "open" the file to begin the installation process without the user having to go to the downloads and clicking on it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf an app needs to download some critical data (without the data it cannot function) of several MB, what is the best practice? The app would start, a prompt would be shown to confirm download, download would commence, and the user would be prevented from going further until the download successfully completes. I don't expect the download would take more than, say, 10 secs over wifi but, of course, would take much longer over 2G. Is a service absolutely essential for this? Maybe there is already some code out there that takes a URL, downloads it in a service, and broadcasts a configurable Intent when the download has completed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had the thought of checking for tampering with the apk by embedding a couple of checks against it's size once installed on the device.I was just a bit concerned that maybe the size would change dependent on the device (e.g. different FS format or whatever).
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a limit to the size of the .apk file when using it on the emulator. When I run the default app created while creating a project, the .apk file size is about 5K and it runs ok. When I try to run a real app which uses other application libraries so that the total size is about 325K, I get the following error: Failed to upload Benchmark.apk on device 'emulator-5554' java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: timeout Launch canceled! I had increased the heap size of emulator to 64 MB and RAM size to 192 MB.

I did some reading and it's looking like Android has a file size limit of 1mb. Is this correct? If so, is there a way around this limitation, other than splitting up every file into 1mb chunks?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have written a small video player application. In that some video files are playing well. But some are not playing at all. I am thinking that this is because of the video size.
So I just want to let the users know the size of the video and to show an alert saying because of this size, this file can't be played.
How to know the size of the video?
I have a Service that downloads a file from the internet. What I want is for the response (an InputStream in this case) to be handled by a custom handler that can be switched (like a strategy pattern) but I can't figure out how to do this. So basically the User of the API would be able to plug in different handlers for the response, some would parse XML, others might save files etc. I realise I could pass through the activity context and execute the method from this (given some interface) but I don't want to do this obviously, in case the Activity is closed in the meantime while the file is still downloaded.
UPDATE - I just had one idea it will work sort of but has problem if the DownloadRunnable gets changed between executions of the downloads.
The modified Runnable interface
interface DownloadRunnable {
void run(InputStream stream);
}
An enum
public enum ServiceHandler {.......................
I am having a problem where my XML files are slow to load and don't finish downloading before they start to be parsed which throws an xml not well formatted exception from my parser showing that the file downloaded incompletely. The complete error from logcat is "ERROR/Error(323): errororg.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException: At line 10, column 46: not well-formed (invalid token)" I know the xml file is correct because sometimes it will work and I can also pull it up in my browser and look at it.
What would be the best way to make the parser wait for the InputSource before continuing on and parsing the xml data? The code below is the code I use to get the file and parse it.
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
GradeHandler gradeHandler = new GradeHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(gradeHandler);
URL url = new URL("https://url/to/xml/file");
HttpsURLConnection ucon = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
ucon.setHostnameVerifier(new AllowAllHostnameVerifier());
xr.parse(new InputSource(new BufferedInputStream(ucon.getInputStream())));
I have been having some major problems with my EVO regarding the data. If I use anything that is on the heavy side of bandwidth, like downloading a file from android marketplace, surfing the web, watching sprint tv, using the GPS, etc...the data will just time out for about 3 min at a time. For instance if I am downloading a 5mb app from android marketplace, it will maybe download a megabyte, then it will just stop downloading. If you look at the 3G symbol at the top, it will be white, but only the upstream indicator will be on. I can then open any other internet application on the phone, and nothing will work. It usually lasts for about 3 minutes at a time and happens fairly regularly. It will end up taking me 15-20 min to download a 5mb file from the marketplace. Same thing if I browse a bandwidth heavy site like digg.com. It will just time out after a while and it will just show the upstream indicator as solid and not do anything in any program.
This problem is not location dependent. I have this issue at my apartment, at work, at my friend's house, at the Sprint store...anywhere. I live in South Denver.
In chronological order, this is what I have done to troubleshoot/fix the problem:
First noticed problem
Turned off phone/Turned back on
Rooted and installed custom version of 2.1 w/ Sense
Removed battery (power cycle)
Talk to Sprint cust care. They sent signal over that reactivated the phone (2x)
Did factory reset on phone and formatted SD card
Swapped phone at Sprint store with new one
So even after swapping my EVO with a new EVO from the Sprint store and not fooling with the phone at all, I am still having the same exact issue.
I am absolutely at wit's end with this and I have no idea what to do at this point.
Update (6/25):
I have not been able to test with Wifi yet, but I just had one of my coworkers that has the same phone to replicate the issue on his phone. He is having the same exact problem as me, he just didnt realize it.
We set our phones next to each other and downloaded Space Buster 3D Lite off the Android Marketplace. Mine crapped out about 2mb in and so did his. He wasnt able to surf or do anything else on his phone for a few minutes just like mine.
I'm wondering if this a network problem in our area or if there is a problem with the phone.
Also, I downloaded a continuous ping program and did 3,000 pings with no packet loss, so it seems to only happen with heavy data usage ie. saturating your bandwidth.
I want to create a progress Bar for an FTP download. The server where I am downloading the file has all of its directories and files hidden. I want to display the progress of the download. Is there any way I can get the file size? Here is my current code:
FTP client = new FTP Client();
FTP client.setListHiddenFiles
FTP client.connect(host Part);
FTP client.login(user Name, password);
FTPclient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
Input Stream instream = FTP client.retrieveFileStream(pathExcludingHostIncludingFirstSlash);
int l;
byte[] tmp = new byte[2048];
int update Counter = 0;
int bytes Downloaded = 0;
while ((l = instream.read(tmp)) != -1) {
Foss.write(tmp, 0, l);
bytes Downloaded+=2048;
update Counter++;
if(update Counter==3){
kilobytes Downloaded=(bytes Downloaded / 1024);
publish Progress((String[])null);
update Counter=0}
