Creating a byte array for downloaded files is only ok if these files are small enough. For large files, I definitely recommend using the stream classes of Java. Here is an example: Android download binary file problems

Mind that you have to replace f.write(buffer); by f.write(buffer,0, len1); (as answered there) - otherwise you will get wrong data.
