I am using download manager to download the file. The code for downloading the file is as follow.
private String DownloadData(Uri uri, View v, String textview) {
long downloadReference;
// Create request for android download manager
dm = (DownloadManager)getContext().getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
//Setting title of request
request.setTitle(textview);
//Setting description of request
request.setDescription("Android Data download using DownloadManager.");
//Set the local destination for the downloaded file to a path within the application's external files directory
request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(getContext(), DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, File.separator + "Dr_Israr_Ahmad" + File.separator + textview+".mp3");
//Enqueue download and save into referenceId
downloadReference = dm.enqueue(request);
return null
}
The above code works fine. What i need to do now is if the file is already downloaded than i want my app to play it. The code which is used is
String path = String.valueOf(getContext().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS+ File.separator+"Dr_Israr_Ahmad" + File.separator +filename+".mp3"));
File file = new File(path);
if(file.exists()){
Toast.makeText(getContext(),path+ "/n exists", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (!file.exists()) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Downloading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.digitalsguide.com/mobile-apps/dr-israr-ahmad/audios/"+filename+".mp3");
String filepath = DownloadData(uri,view,filename);
}
but the problem is the condition is true even if the file doesn't exist. Is there a problem in my path ? kindly help me out,
I detected some strange behavior with exists
time ago and changed it to isFile
:
File file = new File(path);
if (file.isFile()) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), path + "/n exists", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Downloading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// ...
}
I think the mobile, somehow, created a directory every time new File()
was executed.
Check this.
