Android pause and resume downloading file to sdcard

Question

I am making an application in which I need to download a file from server and save it to sd card of android device.

Apart of this there is a feature for the user to pause and resume the file.

The problem I am facing is that I am able to download file to sdcard but when try to pause and resume it, it gets starts from the beginning.......

Here is the source ......

public class DownloadWithProgressActivity extends Activity {

    public static final int DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS = 0;
    private Button startBtn, pauseButton, resumeButton;
    private ProgressBar bar;
    URLConnection conexion;
    OutputStream output;
    static int count = 0;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        startBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startBtn);
        pauseButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        resumeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
        bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
        bar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.INVISIBLE);
        bar.setId(0);

        startBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                startDownload();
            }
        });
        pauseButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                try {
                    output.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {

        });
        resumeButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override

Please help.......

Answer 1

connection.setRequestProperty("Range", "bytes=" + ***downloaded*** + "-");

Make "downloaded" as global variable, because download start from this position.

when you press on restart button, check value of this downloaded variable,must not zero all time.
