Вот моя реализация:
private static boolean downloadDatabase(Context context) {
try {
// Log.d(TAG, "downloading database");
URL url = new URL("http://some-url.com/db/" + "db_name.s3db");
/* Open a connection to that URL. */
URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();
/*
* Define InputStreams to read from the URLConnection.
*/
InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
/*
* Read bytes to the Buffer until there is nothing more to read(-1).
*/
ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
int current = 0;
while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
baf.append((byte) current);
}
/* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
FileOutputStream fos = null;
// Select storage location
fos = context.openFileOutput("db_name.s3db", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(baf.toByteArray());
fos.close();
// Log.d(TAG, "downloaded");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "downloadDatabase Error: " , e);
return false;
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "downloadDatabase Error: " , e);
return false;
} catch (Exception e){
Log.e(TAG, "downloadDatabase Error: " , e);
return false;
}
return true;
}
