You should be able to do a byte stream copy of the data returned
straight to the SD card, something like:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new
File("/sdcard/app_example.apk"));
InputStream in = myHttpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bufferSize = 0;
while ( (bufferSize = in.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
fos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
fos.close();
Obviously you should add some checking code in there; ensure that data
is returned, the content-type is correct, the file is written to
successfully, etc.
Also make sure you have the correct permissions in your
AndroidManifest for writing to the SD card.
