Read a music file

[Mike Brooks]

Hello,

I have a program that is sending files using sockets. My question is how go I could about reading/scanning a music file to send and then recreate the file at the other end.

Thanks and Regards
Mike

Just read it and send it one byte at a time, just like any other file. It may be a music file to something which can play music, but to a socket it's just an array of bytes.

Hey,

In my code here i get an error at the line

                         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);  

Just wondering if i doing something wrong

                          
                      File myFile = new File ("/sdcard/psi2.pdf");

                                
                      byte[] mybytearray  = new byte[(int)myFile.length()];

                      FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);

                      BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);

                      bis.read(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);

                      OutputStream os = client.getOutputStream();
                      System.out.println("S: Sending file");
                      os.write(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
                      os.flush();

Tell us more details. What sort of error? Compiler or run-time? What is the error message or stack trace? People can only help if they know such details.

Do you really have a directory called "sdcard" in your file system root?
