Error downloading file from backendless server || android

File Service
1

Hello

I am downloading an file from back-endless server using HttpURLConnection … and I get The file public URL by the user property “UserPhoto”… userphoto is the public URL for the photo of every user (in my app )

The code for getting the file is in AsyncTask class …
and I get IOException saying FileNotFoundException

That is the code for downloading the file :

URL photo_url = new URL(params[0]);
HttpURLConnection getPhoto =(HttpURLConnection)photo_url.openConnection();
getPhoto.setDoInput(true);
getPhoto.setRequestMethod("GET");
getPhoto.connect();
InputStream photo = getPhoto.getInputStream();
user_photo = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(photo);

While “params” is an array containing the File public URL …
the file I am downloading is image … And Thanks

See the answer for this question on stackoverflow for an example:

Also, what value do you have in params[0] ?

3

String

4

“String” is a type. I am asking what specific value it has.

5

the url for the file :
https://api.backendless.com/8ADB6090-B8EC-3E56-FFB0-CB0D68B7E000/v1/files/UserPhoto/Yaser00 photo

6

That URL is wrong - try opening it in a browser. You will get this message:

{“code”:6007,“message”:“The specified resource was not found”}

7

oh that right … but why is this happening ? this is the public url for the file … I get it from backendless console !

Read this please: https://backendless.com/feature-75-obtaining-files-public-url-for-files-in-file-storage/

9

I’ve read it … I am using the same method to get the public url from the backendless console

10

Can you attach a screenshot of Backendless console which shows the file in the directory? (I need to see the entire screen of the console)

11

ok please wait

12

Change the URL to put %20 where you have space:

https://api.backendless.com/8ADB6090-B8EC-3E56-FFB0-CB0D68B7E000/v1/files/UserPhoto/Yaser00%20photo
