How can I get the size of a folder on SD card in Android?
Just go through all files and sum the length of them:
/**
* Return the size of a directory in bytes
*/
private static long dirSize(File dir) {
if (dir.exists()) {
long result = 0;
File[] fileList = dir.listFiles();
if (fileList != null) {
for(int i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
// Recursive call if it's a directory
if(fileList[i].isDirectory()) {
result += dirSize(fileList[i]);
} else {
// Sum the file size in bytes
result += fileList[i].length();
}
}
}
return result; // return the file size
}
return 0;
}
NOTE: Function written by hand so it could not compile!
Here's some code that avoids recursion, and also calculates the physical size instead of the logical size:
public static long getFileSize(final File file) {
if (file == null || !file.exists())
return 0;
if (!file.isDirectory())
return file.length();
final List<File> dirs = new LinkedList<>();
dirs.add(file);
long result = 0;
while (!dirs.isEmpty()) {
final File dir = dirs.remove(0);
if (!dir.exists())
continue;
final File[] listFiles = dir.listFiles();
if (listFiles == null || listFiles.length == 0)
continue;
for (final File child : listFiles) {
result += child.length();
if (child.isDirectory())
dirs.add(child);
}
}
return result;
}
