I'm attempting to copy / duplicate a DocumentFile in an Android application, but upon inspecting the created duplicate, it does not appear to be exactly the same as the original (which is causing a problem, because I need to do an MD5 check on both files the next time a copy is called, so as to avoid overwriting the same files).
The process is as follows:
- User selects a file from a ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE
- Source file's type is obtained
- New DocumentFile in target location is initialised
- Contents of first file is duplicated into second file
The initial stages are done with the following code:
// Get the source file's type
String sourceFileType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getExtensionFromMimeType(contextRef.getContentResolver().getType(file.getUri()));
// Create the new (empty) file
DocumentFile newFile = targetLocation.createFile(sourceFileType, file.getName());
// Copy the file
CopyBufferedFile(new BufferedInputStream(contextRef.getContentResolver().openInputStream(file.getUri())), new BufferedOutputStream(contextRef.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(newFile.getUri())));
The main copy process is done using the following snippet:
void CopyBufferedFile(BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream, BufferedOutputStream bufferedOutputStream)
{
// Duplicate the contents of the temporary local File to the DocumentFile
try
{
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
bufferedInputStream.read(buf);
do
{
bufferedOutputStream.write(buf);
}
while(bufferedInputStream.read(buf) != -1);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
try
{
if (bufferedInputStream != null) bufferedInputStream.close();
if (bufferedOutputStream != null) bufferedOutputStream.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The problem that I'm facing, is that although the file copies successfully and is usable (it's a picture of a cat, and it's still a picture of a cat in the destination), it is slightly different.
- The file size has changed from 2261840 to 2262016 (+176)
- The MD5 hash has changed completely
Is there something wrong with my copying code that is causing the file to change slightly?
Thanks in advance.
