I am trying to to send a video as response to my android application. here is the code for both server side (REST call) and client side:
Server side code:
return Response.ok().entity(new FileInputStream(new File(fileName))).build();
here 'fileName' is the path of the video on my server.
Client side code in my android app:
@Override
protected File doInBackground(Void... params) {
String address = <url of the rest service>;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(address);
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response;
stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
File myVideo=null;
try {
response = client.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream stream = entity.getContent();
int b;
videoRoot.mkdirs();
myVideo = new File(videoRoot, "myVideo.3gp");
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(myVideo);
OutputStreamWriter myOutWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
while ((b = stream.read()) != -1) {
stringBuilder.append((char) b);
myOutWriter.append((char) b);
}
Log.i("VideoResponse", stringBuilder.toString());
myOutWriter.close();
fOut.close();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return myVideo;
}
FYI- the video plays fine when i run it on server . but on the android device it gives me following error code "video cant be played". Also I matched the checksum of both video and both were different. Also , when i copied the generated video from android device to my computer, it was corrupted .So I have figured out that I my client side code is wrong. can anyone please help me with this.
