Sending file from Java program to Android App using IP address or something else

Question

How can I send a small file of 4-16 MB to android application from a java program on computer?

I am writing both android application to receive file and java program to nd file. Both of them are connected to internet.

Answer 1

I think the simplest way is this:

1 Set up apache on your server,put the file in the apache default folder,for example /var/www/html,so the file can be accessed through internet via URL;

2 Send the URL to your app,you can use push,or socket connection;

3 In your app ,start a http connection to the file,get the file stream,and write to SD card;
