I want to be able to either move or copy a file from the internal Cache of an android device and put this into permanent storage on the SD Card. This is what I have so far:
try this method
/**
* @param sourceLocation like this /mnt/sdcard/XXXX/XXXXX/15838e85-066d-4738-a243-76c461cd8b01.jpg
* @param destLocation /mnt/sdcard/XXXX/XXXXX/15838e85-066d-4738-a243-76c461cd8b01.jpg
* @return true if successful copy file and false othrerwise
*
* set this permissions in your application WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ,READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
*
*/
public static boolean copyFile(String sourceLocation, String destLocation) {
try {
File sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if(sd.canWrite()){
File source=new File(sourceLocation);
File dest=new File(destLocation);
if(!dest.exists()){
dest.createNewFile();
}
if(source.exists()){
InputStream src=new FileInputStream(source);
OutputStream dst=new FileOutputStream(dest);
// Copy the bits from instream to outstream
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = src.read(buf)) > 0) {
dst.write(buf, 0, len);
}
src.close();
dst.close();
}
}
return true;
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
