I have a few files in the assets
folder. I need to copy all of them to a folder say /sdcard/folder. I want to do this from within a thread. How do I do it?
If anyone else is having the same problem, this is how I did it
private void copyAssets() {
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to get asset file list.", e);
}
if (files != null) for (String filename : files) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open(filename);
File outFile = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null), filename);
out = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
copyFile(in, out);
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", "Failed to copy asset file: " + filename, e);
}
finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
if (out != null) {
try {
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// NOOP
}
}
}
}
}
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
