I'll be writing how to do it in HTTPS shortly. Please come back later ;)
private void downloadToFile(String sourceUrl, FileOutputStream destFile) throws IOException{
URL url = new URL(sourceUrl);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try{
InputStream connectionStream = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
try{
int bytesRead;
byte[] readBuffer = new byte[1024*32];
while((bytesRead = connectionStream.read(readBuffer)) > 0){
destFile.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}finally{
connectionStream.close();
}
}finally{
connection.disconnect();
}
}
public void testDownloadWebPage() throws IOException{
String fileName = "webpage.html";
String webPageUrl = "http://devhelpers.blogspot.com/";
// openFileOutput is available in the activity / context and will create a file in the app's data directory
FileOutputStream fs = openFileOutput(fileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
try{
client.downloadToFile(webPageUrl, fs);
}finally{
fs.close();
}
}
