How to convert base64 to different kind of files ( doc , pdf , word ..etc ) ?












0















I am working on project where I have to download attachments that i receive from server. I have to exploit base64 data and convert it to the appropriate type and download it. It works for me perfectly with images ( base 64 => bytes => bitmap ) but I find troubles with other types ( txt , pdf ..etc )

          try this



           try {

          File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
          File file = new File(sdcard,"test.pdf");

          File new_file_name = new File(sdcard,"new_file.pdf");

          byte input_file = IOUtil.readFile(file);


          byte encodedBytes = Base64.encode(input_file,URL_SAFE);
          String encodedString = new String(encodedBytes);
          byte decodedBytes = Base64.decode(encodedString.getBytes(),URL_SAFE);

          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new_file_name);
          fos.write(decodedBytes);
          fos.flush();
          fos.close();
          }catch (Exception e)
          {
          Log.e("ERROR",e.toString());
          }


          And IOUtil class



          public class IOUtil {

          public static byte readFile(String file) throws IOException {
          return readFile(new File(file));
          }

          public static byte readFile(File file) throws IOException {
          // Open file
          RandomAccessFile f = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
          try {
          // Get and check length
          long longlength = f.length();
          int length = (int) longlength;
          if (length != longlength)
          throw new IOException("File size >= 2 GB");
          // Read file and return data
          byte data = new byte[length];
          f.readFully(data);
          return data;
          } finally {
          f.close();
          }
          }
          }


          this code contain both encode and decode parts
