Downloading a file from an URL?
1
I am using the following code to download PDF files.
private class downloadPaper extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
private boolean isDownloaded;
private String destination = *path to folder on phone*;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
this.progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(ActivityPaper.this);
this.progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
this.progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
this.progressDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... url) {
int count;
try {
URL getUrl = new URL(url[0]);
URLConnection connection = getUrl.openConnection();
connection.connect();
// getting file length
int lengthOfFile = connection.getContentLength();
// input stream to read file - with 8k buffer
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(getUrl.openStream(), 8192);
// Output stream to write file
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(destination);
byte data = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
// After this onProgressUpdate will be called
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
Log.d(TAG, "Progress: " + (int) ((total * 100) / lengthOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
return "success";
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return getString(R.string.somethingWrong);
}
/**
* Updating progress bar
*/
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
// setting progress percentage
progressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String message) {
// dismiss the dialog after the file was downloaded
this.progressDialog.dismiss();
// Display File path after downloading
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
I am getting the following response,
E/Error:: Unexpected status line: <html>
I have tried changing the file source URL to other PDFs on different websites and its working fine. The error only shows when I try to download from my server. I am guessing its a server configuration issue.

So it seems you caught an exception. Can you print more of the exception (e.g. stack trace) to have more information what is going wrong and where?

I suggest you to check the link you provide to download. I am pretty sure it is returning some html doc or so. Like you say, if you download file from other url then it's working fine.

it's certainly looking about the user agent or else to not let bots scrap their pdfs. Look at your complete request and try to reproduce with curl or whatever.
