I try to download a file using services in android... I was able to write the program and I can download what ever I want. but the problem is with the progress bar!!! I'm not able to define the total file length (or size) and the current downloaded size. I used this code to get the file lenght
URL url = new URL(urlToDownload);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
int fileLength = connection.getContentLength();
and I used this part of code to define the current downloaded size
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/BarcodeScanner-debug.apk");
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
int count;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
int currentValue=(total * 100 / fileLength);
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
the problem is that at the end of download I got something like 241% instead of 100% (because the fileLength for ex was around 12226 and the total was 29349) Do you have any idea about this topic.
