Android: save a file from an existing URI

Question

How to save a media file (say .mp3) from an existing URI, which I am getting from an Implicit Intent?

Answer 1

Use this method, it works

void savefile(URI sourceuri)
{
    String sourceFilename= sourceuri.getPath();
    String destinationFilename = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+File.separatorChar+"abc.mp3";

    BufferedInputStream bis = null;
    BufferedOutputStream bos = null;

    try {
      bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(sourceFilename));
      bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(destinationFilename, false));
      byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
      bis.read(buf);
      do {
        bos.write(buf);
      } while(bis.read(buf) != -1);
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
      try {
        if (bis != null) bis.close();
        if (bos != null) bos.close();
      } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
}
