Question

Trying to use the following Code to download a remote hosted .apk file.

package com.wireless.wmaa;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

public class UpdateApp extends AsyncTask<String,Void,Void>{
private Context context;
public void setContext(Context contextf){
    context = contextf;
}

@Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... arg0) {
      try {
            URL url = new URL(arg0[0]);
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            c.setRequestMethod("GET");
            c.setDoOutput(true);
            c.connect();

            String PATH = "/sdcard/Download/";
            File file = new File(PATH);
            file.mkdirs();
            File outputFile = new File(file, "Wireless.apk");
            if(outputFile.exists()){
                outputFile.delete();
            }
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);

            InputStream is = c.getInputStream();


            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            while ((len1 = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                fos.write(buffer, 0, len1);
            }
            fos.close();
            is.close();

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new                File("/sdcard/Download/Wireless.apk")), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // without this flag     android returned a intent error!
            context.startActivity(intent);


        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("UpdateAPP", "Update error! " + e.getMessage());
        }
    return null;
}}  

And Here is the Code to start the Task:

UpdateApp myApp = new UpdateApp();
myApp.setContext(getApplicationContext());
myApp.execute("http://some.domain.com/someSite/some.apk");

Able to connect but when trying to use the InputStream throws a file not found exception. I can browse to the file from the Android Default Browser and I am prompted to download the file which is the same functionality I would like in my App. Here is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

            <intent-filter>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>


</manifest>

Ended up being an Issue with IIS. Once I moved my .apk to my apache webserver had no issues…
