I am trying to create a folder and several subdirectory within it on the SD Card... I then want to transfer files that I have stored in /res/raw to that folder... I addition, I want this to only happen once, the first time the program is ever run. I realize that this is ridiculously open-ended, and that I am asking a lot... but any help would be greatly appreciated.
The raw folder is created inside the res folder: main/res/raw.
This will copy all files in the "clipart" subfolder of the .apk assets folder to the "clipart" subfolder of your app's folder on the SD card:
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
String basepath = extStorageDirectory + "/name of your app folder on the SD card";
//...
// in onCreate
File clipartdir = new File(basepath + "/clipart/");
if (!clipartdir.exists()) {
clipartdir.mkdirs();
copyClipart();
}
private void copyClipart() {
AssetManager assetManager = getResources().getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("clipart");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("read clipart ERROR", e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
for(int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = assetManager.open("clipart/" + files[i]);
out = new FileOutputStream(basepath + "/clipart/" + files[i]);
copyFile(in, out);
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("copy clipart ERROR", e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
