Download binary file from OKHTTP
I am using OKHTTP client for networking in my android application.
This example shows how to upload binary file. I would like to know how to get inputstream of binary file downloading with OKHTTP client.
Here is the listing of the example :
public class InputStreamRequestBody extends RequestBody {
private InputStream inputStream;
private MediaType mediaType;
public static RequestBody create(final MediaType mediaType,
final InputStream inputStream) {
return new InputStreamRequestBody(inputStream, mediaType);
}
private InputStreamRequestBody(InputStream inputStream, MediaType mediaType) {
this.inputStream = inputStream;
this.mediaType = mediaType;
}
@Override
public MediaType contentType() {
return mediaType;
}
@Override
public long contentLength() {
try {
return inputStream.available();
} catch (IOException e) {
return 0;
}
}
@Override
public void writeTo(BufferedSink sink) throws IOException {
Source source = null;
try {
source = Okio.source(inputStream);
sink.writeAll(source);
} finally {
Util.closeQuietly(source);
}
}
}
Current code for simple get request is:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
request = new Request.Builder().url("URL string here")
.addHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken)
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
.build();
response = getClient().newCall(request).execute();
Now how do I convert the response to InputStream
. Something similar to response from Apache HTTP Client
like this for OkHttp
response:
InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
EDIT
Accepted answer from below. My modified code:
request = new Request.Builder().url(urlString).build();
response = getClient().newCall(request).execute();
InputStream is = response.body().byteStream();
BufferedInputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(is);
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
For what it's worth, I would recommend response.body().source()
from okio (since OkHttp is already supporting it natively) in order to enjoy an easier way to manipulate a large quantity of data that can come when downloading a file.
@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
File downloadedFile = new File(context.getCacheDir(), filename);
BufferedSink sink = Okio.buffer(Okio.sink(downloadedFile));
sink.writeAll(response.body().source());
sink.close();
}
A couple of advantages taken from the documentation in comparison with InputStream:
This interface is functionally equivalent to InputStream. InputStream requires multiple layers when consumed data is heterogeneous: a DataInputStream for primitive values, a BufferedInputStream for buffering, and InputStreamReader for strings. This class uses BufferedSource for all of the above. Source avoids the impossible-to-implement available() method. Instead callers specify how many bytes they require.
Source omits the unsafe-to-compose mark and reset state that's tracked by InputStream; callers instead just buffer what they need.
When implementing a source, you need not worry about the single-byte read method that is awkward to implement efficiently and that returns one of 257 possible values.
And source has a stronger skip method: BufferedSource.skip(long) won't return prematurely.
Getting ByteStream from OKHTTP
I've been digging around in the Documentation of OkHttp you need to go this way
use this method :
response.body().byteStream() wich will return an InputStream
so you can simply use a BufferedReader or any other alternative
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
request = new Request.Builder().url("URL string here")
.addHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken)
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
.build();
response = getClient().newCall(request).execute();
InputStream in = response.body().byteStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String result, line = reader.readLine();
result = line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result += line;
}
System.out.println(result);
response.body().close();
