set the correct permissions in the manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
below is a function that will programmatically move your file
private void moveFile(String inputPath, String inputFile, String outputPath) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
//create output directory if it doesn't exist
File dir = new File (outputPath);
if (!dir.exists())
{
dir.mkdirs();
}
in = new FileInputStream(inputPath + inputFile);
out = new FileOutputStream(outputPath + inputFile);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
// write the output file
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
// delete the original file
new File(inputPath + inputFile).delete();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe1) {
Log.e("tag", fnfe1.getMessage());
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
}
To Delete the file use
private void deleteFile(String inputPath, String inputFile) {
try {
// delete the original file
new File(inputPath + inputFile).delete();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
}
To copy
private void copyFile(String inputPath, String inputFile, String outputPath) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
//create output directory if it doesn't exist
File dir = new File (outputPath);
if (!dir.exists())
{
dir.mkdirs();
}
in = new FileInputStream(inputPath + inputFile);
out = new FileOutputStream(outputPath + inputFile);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
in = null;
// write the output file (You have now copied the file)
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe1) {
Log.e("tag", fnfe1.getMessage());
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
}
