reading pdf from url using pdfViewer library in android app
<p>I made an android app for viewing Pdf file fetched from URL by integrating pdfViewer library in my code.Firstly app downloading the file from web to external sd card then from there the app is getting opened with PdfViewer library.It is working fine if the file size is small but if the pdf file contains images and size is more , the downloaded file size shown in sdcard is 0kb.
Can someone help me out why this is so?</p>

<p>Following is java code :</p>

<pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    static Context applicationContext;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        applicationContext = getApplicationContext();

        String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
        File folder = new File(extStorageDirectory, "pdfDownloads");
        folder.mkdir();
        File file = new File(folder, "android.pdf");
        try {
            if(!file.exists()) {
                file.createNewFile();
            }
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        boolean downloadFile = downloadFile("http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf", file);
        if (file!=null &amp;&amp; file.exists() &amp;&amp; file.length() &gt; 0){
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.example.soniapdf.Second.class);
            intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME,
                    file.getAbsolutePath());
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }

    public static boolean downloadFile(String fileUrl, File directory) {
        try {
            FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(directory);
            URL u = new URL(fileUrl);
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
            c.setRequestMethod("GET");
            c.setDoOutput(true);
            c.connect();
            InputStream in = c.getInputStream();

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len = 0;

            //
             int fileLength = c.getContentLength();
             long total = 0;
            //
                    Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Downloading PDF...", 2000).show();


            while ((len = in.read(buffer)) &gt; 0) {
                total += len;


            //Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Downloading PDF: remaining " + (fileLength / total  )+ "%", 1).show();
                f.write(buffer, 0, len);
            }
            f.close();
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }

    }
}
