I am usin MultipartEntity and I am trying to refer to the file in the raw folder. Here is the code:
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
reqEntity.addPart(new FormBodyPart("file", new FileBody(new File("test.txt"))));
The test.txt file is in my res/raw folder. When I execute the code I get the following exception : FileNotFoundException: /test.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Can anyone help me with this?
Unfortunately you can not create a File
object directly from the raw folder. You need to copy it or in your sdcard or inside the application`s cache.
you can retrieve the InputStream for your file this way
InputStream in = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.yourfile);
try {
int count = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[32768];
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
while ( (count = in.read(bytes,0, 32768)) > 0) {
builder.append(new String(bytes, 0, count));
}
in.close();
reqEntity.addPart(new FormBodyPart("file", new StringBody(builder.toString())));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
