working on my first real android app and one part of it is a download manager.
it must download video files that the app uses to teach people Gaelic.
it works fine on all but 3 files, it downloads bigger files and smaller files. but will not download colours.mp4 1.86MB, weekdays 1.53 MB or numbers 1.99 MB all the files between 1MB and 2MB.
it will just stop at the end of the download loop no errors for a few minutes just looking like its waiting to continue downloading then it will give an error "unexpected end of stream" can anyone suggest what the problem could be please?
I have crated the same app for the iPhone and that app has not got the same problem with these files.
this is the download loop called from inside an asynctask.
protected void download(String where, String file){
try {
//makes output file
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(getFilesDir()
.getAbsolutePath() + "/vidos/" +file);
int count=0;
//gets url to download from
URL url = new URL(where);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
//gets the length of the file to work out percent downloaded
int lengthOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
InputStream input = null;
Log.v("downloading", String.valueOf(showprg));
input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
byte data[] = new byte[lengthOfFile];
long total = 0;
Log.v("downloading", "size: " + String.valueOf(downloading));
while ((count = input.read(data)) > 0 && downloading) {
total += count;
publishProgress(String
.valueOf((int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile)));
output.write(data, 0, count);
//this is where it brakes
};
Log.v("publishProgress", "done");
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
}
