Android: best practice ? , when copying multiple files from one folder to another , it takes much time ,

Question

i am using below code to copy multiple files from one folder to another , but it takes too much time , it is requested is their any best practice to implement to increase speed. i will be grateful.( Note: i am not moving files )

void copyFile(File sourceLocation, File targtLocation) throws IOException {

    if (sourceLocation.exists()) {
        InputStream in = null;
        OutputStream out = null;
        try {
            in = new FileInputStream(sourceLocation);
            new File(String.valueOf(targtLocation)).delete();
            out = new FileOutputStream(targtLocation);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        // Copy the bits from instream to outstream
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int len;

        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
            out.write(buf, 0, len);
        }
        in.close();
        out.close();

        sourceLocation.delete();
        Intent scanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
        scanIntent.setData(Uri.fromFile(sourceLocation));
        sendBroadcast(scanIntent);
        Log.e("debug", "Copy file successful.");

    } else {
        Log.v("debug", "Copy file failed. Source file missing.");
    }
}

At last did it. when i use BufferedOutputStream and BufferedInputStream the processing time was half. Unlike input/outputstream, it do not call the underlying system for each byte read/write. instead it call once and buffer those streams .

void copyFileFast1(File sourceLocation, File targtLocation) throws IOException {

        if (sourceLocation.exists()) {
            FileInputStream fin = null;
            FileOutputStream fout = null;
            Log.i("debug","source "+sourceLocation);
            Log.i("debug","des "+targtLocation);
            try {
                fin = new FileInputStream(sourceLocation);
                new File(String.valueOf(targtLocation)).delete();
                fout = new FileOutputStream(targtLocation);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            // Copy the bits from instream to outstream
            byte[] buf = new byte[2048];
            int len;
            BufferedOutputStream bufferedOutputStream=new BufferedOutputStream(fout);
            BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream=new BufferedInputStream(fin);
            while ((len = bufferedInputStream.read(buf)) > 0) {
                bufferedOutputStream.write(buf, 0, len);
            }
            fin.close();
            bufferedOutputStream.close();
            fout.close();

            sourceLocation.delete();
            Intent scanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
            scanIntent.setData(Uri.fromFile(sourceLocation));
            sendBroadcast(scanIntent);
            Log.e("debug", "Copy file successful.");

        } else {
            Log.v("debug", "Copy file failed. Source file missing.");
        }
    }
