Question

I want to move file from one path to another path but instead of moving it copy the file to new location.
Kindly provide any hints

Thanks in advance

 MovePngToPreviewDir pngToPreviewDir = new MovePngToPreviewDir(null, "png");

                File[] listOfPNGFiles = RootDir.listFiles(pngToPreviewDir);

                for(File file:listOfPNGFiles){
                    Log.e("PNG = ",file.getAbsolutePath());
                    Log.e("PNG = ",file.getName());
                    if(previewDiagramDir == null){
                        Log.e("Preview Diagram Dir is NULL","Preview Diagram DIR is NULL");
                    }
                    if(file!= null && previewDiagramDir != null){
                        Log.e("Preview Diagram Dir",previewDiagramDir.getAbsolutePath()+"/");

                        if(file.renameTo(new File(previewDiagramDir, file.getName()))){
                            Log.e("PNG File is successfully Moved",file.getName());



                        }else{
                            Log.e("Error in Moving PNG File","Error in Moving PNG file");
                        }


                    }else{

                    }

If you want to copy the file to another location, you can use file.renameTo() method of File class, related to your istance object file, trying this:

file.renameTo(new File("new_directory_to_copy_file"+file.getName())); 

After copying the file, you can delete it with file.delete();.

Note: The method delete() returns a boolean object, then you can check the correct file deletion with:

boolean del = file.delete();

if(del) System.out.println("File "+file.getName()+" deleted!");
else System.out.println("File "+file.getName()+"not deleted!");
