How do I save a file downloaded with HttpClient into a specific folder

Question

I am trying to download a PDF file with HttpClient. I am able to get the file but i am not sure how to convert the bytes into a a PDF and store it somewhere on the system

I have the following code, How can I store it as a PDF?

 public ???? getFile(String url) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{              HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);             HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget);             HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();             if (entity != null) {                 long len = entity.getContentLength();                 InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();                 // How do I write it?             }              return null;         } 

Answer 1

InputStream is = entity.getContent(); String filePath = "sample.txt"; FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filePath)); int inByte; while((inByte = is.read()) != -1)      fos.write(inByte); is.close(); fos.close();

EDIT:

you can also use BufferedOutputStream and BufferedInputStream for faster download:

BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(entity.getContent()); String filePath = "sample.txt"; BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(filePath))); int inByte; while((inByte = bis.read()) != -1) bos.write(inByte); bis.close(); bos.close();
