android sending files using socket

Question

I am using wifi direct to send file between two android phones. sender code:

OutputStream outputStream = null;
            InputStream inputStream = null;
            try {
                outputStream = socket.getOutputStream();
                inputStream = new FileInputStream(exportTempFile);
                byte[] buf = new byte[socket.getSendBufferSize()];
            int len = 0;
            while ((len = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1) {
                outputStream.write(buf, 0, len);

            }
                outputStream.flush();
                return 0;
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
                if (socket != null) {
                    if (socket.isConnected()) {
                        try {
                            if (outputStream != null) {
                                outputStream.close();
                            }
                            if (inputStream != null) {
                                inputStream.close();
                            }
                            socket.close();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

receiver code:

OutputStream outputStream = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
try {
    tempDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "temp");
    if (!tempDir.exists()) {
        tempDir.mkdir();
    }
    File file = new File(tempDir, "temp.zip");
    file.createNewFile();
    outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    inputStream = socket.getInputStream();

    byte[] buf = new byte[socket.getReceiveBufferSize()];
            int len = 0;
            while ((len = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1) {
                outputStream.write(buf, 0, len);
                outputStream.flush();
            }

    return file;
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if (socket != null) {
        if (socket.isConnected()) {
            try {
                if (outputStream != null) {
                    outputStream.close();
                }
                if (inputStream != null) {
                    inputStream.close();
                }
                socket.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

However, I always get "W/System.err" at the receiver side when running bytestream.copy . I wonder if I did something wrong. Did I close socket too early so the other side can not get data? error is as below:

Try this. I hope you got all your answers. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17031618/android-send-file-between-two-phones-using-socket-and-progress-bar — Danial Hussain, Oct 15 '14 at 09:25
Hi, I have read through that post but it does not help. My app works sometimes but sometimes get this error. — vincentzhou, Oct 15 '14 at 10:29
You set a read timeout, it fired, so you got a read timeout exception. What part of that don't you understand? NB 1 The `isConnected()` test is pointless. It only tells you whether you ever connected this `Socket.` It doesn't tell you about the state of the connection. Any existing `Socket` object should be closed when you're finished with it, regardless of its `isConnected()` state. NB 2 Don't `flush()` inside loops. It destroys the point of buffering. NB 3 You don't need to check the file's existence and create it before calling `new FileOutputStream()`. You're just wasting time and space. — user207421, Oct 16 '14 at 02:49
@EJP Thank you for your suggestion. Where did I set the read timeout? Am I able to remove it or increase it? Because the wifi transfer always fails. I have searched for setsotimeout() in my code but found nothing. — vincentzhou, Oct 16 '14 at 04:18
