[android-developers] Re: Save an mp3 from a remote site

2009-03-31 Thread MrChaz 

Sure,
Something like

//Where the file comes from
URL sourceURL = new URL(address);
URLConnection conn = sourceURL.openConnection();

InputStream inStream = sourceURL.openStream();

// Where the file is going to go
FileOutputStream outStream= new FileOutputStream(sdcard/file.mp3);

//a read buffer
byte[] bytes = new byte[20480];

//read the first chunk
int readBytes = file.read(bytes);

//read the rest
while (readBytes  0){
 //Write the buffered chunk to the file
 outStream.write(bytes, 0, readBytes);
 readBytes = file.read(bytes);
}
inStream.close();
outStream.close();

should do it.  I've typed that more or less by hand so it's missing
error checking etc.

 I am able to stream an mp3 at real time on my android phone. I wanted
 to know if it is possible to save an mp3 file residing on a remote

 Any heads up is greatly appreciated.

 Thanks.

Thanks a ton. Didn't know android allowed saving to mp3 directly  
unlike an iphone.

This is just copying the file.
The question remains if you can play it or not... :=)

I have not looked into this at all, but DRM could prevent the mp3 from
playing.

No problem playing an MP3 from the SD card. You should be able to
ACTION_VIEW the file:/// URI directly, or invoke the media scanner on
it and ACTION_VIEW the resulting content:// URI (added bonus for the
second method is that the file will immediately show up in the music
player as well).

Good point, I forgot about the MediaScanner.
One thing to note about using ACTION_VIEW is although you get the nice
mediaplayer UI it doesn't keep playing when you change Activities e.g.
go back to the home screen.
