Android: How can i download a file from a URL to asset folder of the app?

Question

When I start running the app in the mobile, it must connect to a URL and download dataset(files) to the app folder of the app..Is this possible? if so please could you show me a sample ?

Answer 1

you cannot download files in app's Asset folder. Instead you should use getCacheDir() (on internal memory) or getExternalCacheDir() (on SD card, available in Froyo and above) to download and retrieve your files.
