Android : How Can I Download Large Files On Incredible?
Jul 14, 2010
I've tried downloading/transferring several files to my incredible over 3g. Tried downloading a couple times through the stock browser and also i've tried downloading through dropbox but every time the download gets randomly interrupted sometime between when 20mb - 100mb is done. I am not getting any calls or texts or anything that would interrupt it - it seems like the phone is going to sleep in the middle of the download or something. The files I am trying to transfer are approx 200mb .MP4 files and .MP3 files. Anyone know how to fix this problem and/or know of an app that will let you download or transfer large files from my home computer or from HTTP through my web host? On my BB Storm I had to use opera browser to download large files so maybe a different browser would work?

I am trying to implement the functionality to resume a large file download, but have not found how to start downloading from a position that is not at the beginning of an InputStream.I am currently using the InputStream.skip() method to go to the position where I want to resume the download, but have found that this method actually reads all the data over the network and then throws it away.I would appreciate some help in learning the correct way to start reading from the resume offset of the internet file being downloaded, so that I can avoid wasting the phone network bandwidth, and also avoid the extra time delay caused by re-downloading all the data that was already previously downloaded.

I am looking for an application that can handle large PDF files smoothly. I have tried adobe reader, pdf viewer and RepliGo. They were not very impressive, therefore I have come here for suggestions. Repligo reader I think was better out of the three but I couldn't view a PDF file that had scanned images on it. Was hoping someone could recommend an app that could handle large PDFs and PDFs that contained scanned images.

Apparently you can't have a file in "assets" larger than 1MB (except for certain file types) because it's considered too large to uncompress. But I'm finding mixed info about how to circumvent this limitation. Some say that you can put the files in "raw" and avoid the limitation but others say that files in "raw" are compressed too.And there's the -0 aapt option that can be used to turn off compression for certain file types, but there's no way to specify aapt options in Carbide. I realize that I can break the file into pieces, but that's error- prone on both ends.And using one of the known uncompressed file types not only confuses things but also runs the risk that the Android PTB will decide to start compressing that file type.

I'm using the stock Android 2.1 gallery to view images. I have a large JPG image (approx 7000x7000 pixels) of bicycle route map for my city. I tried zooming and scrolling with the gallery image viewer, but it cannot zoom in close enough to read the map detail.
Is there a better image viewer app out there that is good for zooming and scrolling large JPG images?
I would like to use Google maps, but the bicycle route mode still does not work in the Android app.

I'm trying to download a large .zip file from a web server but I have a weird behaviour, the description is:
- I'm executing the code in the device emulator, API level 3 (version 1.5) with an SD card of 512MB. I start the device with "Wipe data user"
- The length of the size from conexion.getContentLength() is 7012725
- The server address is localhost (10.0.2.2), but I've tried with an external server and the behaviour is the same. I've double checked that I can download the file through a web browser.
- I have these permisions in the manifest file:
CODE:.............
The error:
- It starts downloading the file, I can see the text 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and then it stops at 60. - After a while, the emulator reboots itself.
Workarounds:
- About the possible wifi lock, what I've done is add this permission "android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" and then this piece of code, but with exactly the same behaviour:
CODE:.............
Here is the code, that it's being executing in a separate thread:
CODE:.............

Could anyone try my code and download a zip file with size round 8MB? Does it works for you?

I am working on an android app that needs to act on a few data files totaling around 30MB. I put together a test and the emulator failed with OutOfDiskSpace. Debugging on a device failed with even a smaller data size. After reading through the google groups, it appears that the application size limit isn't stated anywhere and nobody from google has been forthcoming with specifics about this. Given that there are iPhone apps that are over 100MB in size, putting such a small limit on Android apps seems weird, except just for the fact that you have a relatively small amount of total available app storage space (< 100MB).What techniques do you use to deal with this limit? If you have an app that needs more than 10MB, do you put it on a web server and deal with downloading it the first time? If so, how do you handle access control so that only your app can get the data?

i have a severe problem with eclipse, where i need to compile a somewhat larger class. by "larger" i mean, the class has about 5000 lines of code... problem is that on saving this project, eclipse takes several seconds (30-40) to "build the workspace". to be exact, it says "50%" and keeps saying that for 30-40 seconds. then, it breaks with the following error:
[console]:
[2010-07-09 15:28:39 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: null
[2010-07-09 15:28:39 - myProject] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null
[problems window]:
Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null this error is reproducible and keeps popping up until i comment out several thousands LOC, so that the file still has this 5k LOC, but ~2000 of them are comments. THEN it works...
i know that 5000 LOC are no really good programming style, but i need to do it this way for now ... (i have to write this much records to a sqlite database and since sqlite doesnt feature multiple sql-queries in one rawQuery-command i have to execute a single rawQuery() for each and every data record i need to push into the db.... - until i write a file reader to read this data from a file (that needs verification etc)), i'm stuck with this solution...)

I was wondering if the Android had any limitations that would prevent 300+ MB's worth of videos to be included in the application?
Currently, I have several iPhone apps that do this, and due to demand, I am looking at the possibility of porting them over to the Android.

Please could anyone suggest an approach for transferring a >2MB video from a ContentResolver into a Bytestream, without running out of memory?
See question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2599305/android-outofmemoryerror-w...
Here's the current code, which throws an OutOfMemoryError on the byteBuffer.write(buffer, 0, len) line when transferring large videos:
// get bytestream to upload videoByteArray = getBytesFromFile(cR, fileUriString);
public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(ContentResolver cR, String fileUriString) throws IOException { Uri tempuri = Uri.parse(fileUriString);
InputStream is = cR.openInputStream(tempuri);
byte[] b3 = readBytes(is); is.close(); return b3;
}

I'm looking to make a large library of files available through an app. (nearly a 3gb folder and growing.
User would download the APP and then have access to an ever growing library of files they can then choose to download whatever they want from it.
Can this be done by a simple RSS reader?
I don't want the files available to anyone without the app installed. It would only be a text list of the files, clickable to download.

I've been havng trouble emailing pictures with my HTC hero ("unable to send mail" notices) and wonder if others have had similar experiences. The problem seems to be worse with anything greater than the lowest resolution. Even 400kbyte pictures are a problem. I assume this is just a file transfer problem, not a camera app problem (the app from which the file is mailed). Mails w/o attachments go thru 100% of the time.
I spoke with someone at sprint today, and the first thing they told me was that I need to have at least three bars of signal strength, then I was told that higher resolution pictures can't be sent from the hero.
Given that Sprint does not have more that two bars in most of northern new jersey, this is a bit of a problem. If this is true, I don't think they should be calling this a data service.
For the most part, internet browsing and even video like youtube and TED work fine, and most the time I can get an EVDO connection.
Playing with it a bit, it looks to me like the issue is maintaining a solid data link to upload the file. I'd expect better with a TCP/IP connection, as I've had some experience designing that sort of thing. Late at night, if I get two bars and set the phone down so the signal strength does not waver, I can generally send even a 5 mpixel picture that's nearly 1000k.
I've tried this with the mail set to allow up to 1000k transfers and with no limit on transfer size, and that has no effect.
Some specific questions I have are:
1) Are others having this problem?
2) Anybody have a solution?
3) Anybody notice if it's network congestion related?
4) Anybody know anything about messing with the TCP/IP settings like timeouts and retrys to hold a connection on a spotty rf network?

I've been watching my battery life recently as I hate my phone dying during the middle of the day and was wondering if battery life would be affected by playing large music files?
I listen to spotify quite a bit and haven't really noticed my battery severely affected by playing music for a long time but this week I was listening to a podcast which was 160MB (2Hr music podcast if you were wondering) and my battery life plummeted. This would also correlate then to why my battery life plummets when listening to other large podcasts.

I've had a look at the existing PDF readers,
I've tried Repligo which amazingly doesn't seem to allow full screen, and also seems a little - blurry? At least it remembers what page I'm at.
The Adobe reader seems to render oddly when I zoom in - doesn't remember where I am in huge files when I close the program, and is generally really short on options.
I'm used to Goodreader on the iphone - that had cropping, you could lock your zoom level so you could freely scroll around without having to readjust for columns - it was just really good. Is there anything like that?

I'm trying to download the SMS app from XDA and the guy has it up as a zip file. I download it and extract it, and it's a folder with random crap in it. No apk.
Then I read that I just change the file name. I'm on a Mac, so I change the filename and it verifies if I want to change it from .zip to .apk and I say "yes." Put it on my card and Astro still doesn't recognize it. It's list, but it's an icon with a window and a gear in front of it.
I installed the Vanilla email app, no problem. Not sure what the deal is with this one.

I'd like to be able to compile an Android app on my desktop, upload it to my phone and launch the app without having to plug in my phone via USB. I want this for 1) convenience when developing and 2) SD card access isn't available when plugged in. One idea I had was to write an app that would download the app from the computer wirelessly (e.g. or via a website the app was uploaded to) and then launch the app. The APK doesn't need to be installed in this process, but if it did, I wouldn't want there to be any user interaction. Is this possible? I suspect it won't be because of security implications. Are there any alternative ways to do this? I essentially want some way to do over the air updates for an application. Perhaps I can upload a single class file for the app that can be launched?
