How to download a file from a server and save it in specific folder in SD card in Android?
Your download URL is not a link to any file. It's a directory. Make sure its a file and exists. Also check your logcat window for error logs. One more suggestion, its always better to do a printStackTrace() in catch blocks instead of Logs. Its gives a more detailed view of the error.
Change this line:
URL url = new URL("http://myexample.com/android/");to:
URL url = new URL("http://myexample.com/android/yourfilename.txt"); //some file urlNext, in catch block, add this line:
e.printStackTrace();Also in the directory path, it should be something like this:
File dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/mnt/sdcard/myclock/databases");instead of
File dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/myclock/databases");Next, make sure you have acquired permission for writing to external storage in Android manifest.
