android content Length() return -1


I download file from server. but when i want get size of file always body.contentLength() return -1 . some ways fix this issue with HttpUrlConnection but how about ResponseBody class ?

  private void initDownload(){

        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl("http://mobleh.com/").build();    
        RequestInterface requestInterface = retrofit.create(RequestInterface.class);    
        Call<ResponseBody> request = requestInterface.getAPK(path);

        try {    
            downloadFile(request.execute().body());

        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
    }

    private void downloadFile(ResponseBody body) throws IOException {

        int count;
        byte data[] = new byte[1024 * 4];            
        long fileSize = body.contentLength();

}

Solution

  • after some research and thinking i made some trick , just get size of file with HttpURLConnection like this :

    HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(path).openConnection();
    
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "identity");
    
    long fileSize = connection.getContentLength();
    

    with this way dos not matter which way you download files , always can get your size like this .
