How to calculate the size of a file in Android

Question

I am looking to find the size of a file in Android. I originally expected it to be as simple as a size() method in File, or something along those lines. But I haven't been able to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Use file.length()

The length, in bytes, of the file denoted by this abstract pathname, or 0L if the file does not exist. Some operating systems may return 0L for pathnames denoting system-dependent entities such as devices or pipes.
