I am trying to download a file from my PHP server. Here is my PHP code:
$file = 'androidApps/app.apk';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
File name and file size are correct. When I use my browser (on my computer AND on my phone) everything is fine. The file is correctly downloaded.
When I try to download it from my android app it will download a 38-byte file. Still in my android app if I use the direct link to my file it will download it correctly. Here is my android code:
String path ="http://myserverURLAndPhpFileUrl.php";//If I put the path of my file it will download it correctly
String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/download/";
URL u = null;
u = new URL(path);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.connect();
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
File file = new File(PATH);
file.mkdirs();
File outputFile = new File(file, "app.apk");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
InputStream is = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
fos.write(buffer, 0, len1);
System.out.println(len1);
}
fos.close();
is.close();`
I have also tried to use the DownloadManager but I get the same issue:
String path = "http://myserverURLAndPhpFileUrl.php";
UpdateService.this.getSystemService(UpdateService.this.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request dlrequest = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(path));
dlrequest.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(true);
dlrequest.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE);
dlrequest.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(UpdateService.this, null, "app.apk");
System.out.println("FILE dir: " + getExternalFilesDir(null));
//nqueue this request e
DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) UpdateService.this.getSystemService(UpdateService.this.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
long downloadID = downloadManager.enqueue(dlrequest);
downloadManager.enqueue(dlrequest);
I am using this code in a service. I have tested on android 5.0.1 and Android 4.3
PHP version: 5.4.45-0+deb7u8
How can I manage to download my file without using the path of the file ?
Thanks
