Copying raw file into SDCard?


I've some audio files in my res/raw folder. For some reasons, i want to copy this files to my SDCard When, my application starts.

How can i done this? Anyone guide me?


Solution

  • Read from the resource, write to a file on the SD card:

    InputStream in = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.myresource);
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(somePathOnSdCard);
    byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
    int read = 0;
    
    try {
       while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0) {
          out.write(buff, 0, read);
       }
    } finally {
         in.close();
         out.close();
    }
