Question

I am not able to copy files from my assets folder to the Sd card. How can I accomplish this? Or is there a way to copy files from assets or any other folder to sd card during installation of the app?
Here is my code:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    CopyAssets();
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

private void CopyAssets() { 
    AssetManager assetManager = getAssets(); 
    String[] files = null; 
    try { 
        files = assetManager.list(""); 
    } catch (IOException e) { 
        Log.e("tag", e.getMessage()); 
    } 
    for(String filename : files) { 
        InputStream in = null; 
        OutputStream out = null; 
        try { 
          in = assetManager.open(filename); 
          out = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/" + filename); 
          copyFile(in, out); 
          in.close(); 
          in = null; 
          out.flush(); 
          out.close(); 
          out = null; 
        } catch(Exception e) { 
            Log.e("tag", e.getMessage()); 
        }        
    } 
} 
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException { 
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; 
    int read; 
    while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1){ 
      out.write(buffer, 0, read); 
    } 
}


}

To write files in the sdcard you have to give the permission on the manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Did you?
