Android - Save image from URL onto SD card

Question

I want to save an image from a URL to the SD card (for future use) and then load that image from the SD card to use it as a drawable overlay for Google maps.

Here is

Answer 1

Try this... An easy way to the task done.

Picasso.with(getActivity())
                .load(url)
                .into(new Target() {
                          @Override
                          public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
                              try {
                                  String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
                                  File myDir = new File(root + "/yourDirectory");

                                  if (!myDir.exists()) {
                                      myDir.mkdirs();
                                  }

                                  String name = new Date().toString() + ".jpg";
                                  myDir = new File(myDir, name);
                                  FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(myDir);
                                  bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);

                                  out.flush();
                                  out.close();
                              } catch(Exception e){
                                  // some action
                              }
                          }

                          @Override
                          public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) {
                          }

                          @Override
                          public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
                          }
                      }
                );

I believe it's failing because you're writing a compressed version of the bitmap to the output stream, which should be loaded with BitmapFactory.decodeStream(). Have a quick look at the documentation on this.

If you need a Drawable (decodeStream() returns a Bitmap), simply call Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap).

Try this code..It works fine

public static Bitmap loadImageFromUrl(String url) {
            URL m;
            InputStream i = null;
            BufferedInputStream bis = null;
            ByteArrayOutputStream out =null;
            try {
                m = new URL(url);
                i = (InputStream) m.getContent();
                bis = new BufferedInputStream(i,1024 * 8);
                out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                int len=0;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                while((len = bis.read(buffer)) != -1){
                    out.write(buffer, 0, len);
                }
                out.close();
                bis.close();
            } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            byte[] data = out.toByteArray();
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
            //Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(i, "src");
            return bitmap;
        }

and save the bitmap into directory

ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
_bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 40, bytes);

//you can create a new file name "test.jpg" in sdcard folder.
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        + File.separator + "test.jpg")
f.createNewFile();
//write the bytes in file
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());

// remember close de FileOutput
fo.close();

and do not forget to add permission to manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Try this code.It works...

try
{   
  URL url = new URL("Enter the URL to be downloaded");
  HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
  urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
  urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);                   
  urlConnection.connect();                  
  File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile();
  String filename="downloadedFile.png";   
  Log.i("Local filename:",""+filename);
  File file = new File(SDCardRoot,filename);
  if(file.createNewFile())
  {
    file.createNewFile();
  }                 
  FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);
  InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
  int totalSize = urlConnection.getContentLength();
  int downloadedSize = 0;   
  byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
  int bufferLength = 0;
  while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) 
  {                 
    fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);                  
    downloadedSize += bufferLength;                 
    Log.i("Progress:","downloadedSize:"+downloadedSize+"totalSize:"+ totalSize) ;
  }             
  fileOutput.close();
  if(downloadedSize==totalSize) filepath=file.getPath();    
} 
catch (MalformedURLException e) 
{
  e.printStackTrace();
} 
catch (IOException e)
{
  filepath=null;
  e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.i("filepath:"," "+filepath) ;
return filepath;

Try this code to save the Image from the URL to SDCard.

URL url = new URL ("file://some/path/anImage.png"); 
InputStream input = url.openStream(); 
try {     
    File storagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream (storagePath, "myImage.png");     
    try {         
        byte[] buffer = new byte[aReasonableSize];         
        int bytesRead = 0;         
        while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) >= 0) {
                output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);         
        }     
    }   
    finally {         
        output.close();     
    } 
} 

finally {     
    input.close(); 
}

If you want to create a sub directory on the SD card use:

File storagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"Wallpaper");
storagePath.mkdirs();

To create a the sub directory "/sdcard/Wallpaper/".

Hope it will help you.

Enjoy. :)

DownloadManager does all these for you.

public void downloadFile(String uRl) {
    File direct = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + "/AnhsirkDasarp");

    if (!direct.exists()) {
        direct.mkdirs();
    }

    DownloadManager mgr = (DownloadManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);

    Uri downloadUri = Uri.parse(uRl);
    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(
            downloadUri);

    request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(
            DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI
                    | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
            .setAllowedOverRoaming(false).setTitle("Demo")
            .setDescription("Something useful. No, really.")
            .setDestinationInExternalPublicDir("/AnhsirkDasarpFiles", "fileName.jpg");

    mgr.enqueue(request);

    // Open Download Manager to view File progress
    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Downloading...",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    startActivity(Intent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS));

}
