How to Move/Rename File from Internal App Storage to External Storage on Android

How to move/rename file from internal app storage to external storage on Android?

To copy files from internal memory to SD card and vice-versa using following piece of code:

public static void copyFile(File src, File dst) throws IOException
{
    FileChannel inChannel = new FileInputStream(src).getChannel();
    FileChannel outChannel = new FileOutputStream(dst).getChannel();
    try
    {
        inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);
    }
    finally
    {
        if (inChannel != null)
            inChannel.close();
        if (outChannel != null)
            outChannel.close();
    }
}

And - it works...

Android copy file from internal storage to external

Try some thing like this:

 new FileAsyncTask().execute(files);

and

// AsyncTask for Background Process

private class FileAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<ArrayList<String>, Void, Void> {         
    ArrayList<String> files;         
    ProgressDialog dialog;         
    @Override         
    protected void onPreExecute() {             
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(ActivityName.this, "Your Title", "Loading...");         
    }         
    @Override         
    protected Void doInBackground(ArrayList<String>... params) {              
        files = params[0];             
        for (int i = 0; i < files.size(); i++) {                 
            copyFileToSDCard(files.get(i));                
        }             return null;         
    }         
    @Override         
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {             
        dialog.dismiss();         
    }      
} 

// Function to copy file to the SDCard

public void copyFileToSDCard(String fileFrom){
    AssetManager is = this.getAssets();
    InputStream fis;
    try {

        fis = is.open(fileFrom);
        FileOutputStream fos;
        if (!APP_FILE_PATH.exists()) {
            APP_FILE_PATH.mkdirs();
        }
        fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/MyProject", fileFrom));
        byte[] b = new byte[8];
        int i;
        while ((i = fis.read(b)) != -1) {
            fos.write(b, 0, i);
        }
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
        fis.close();
    } 
    catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public static boolean copyFile(String from, String to) {
try {
    int bytesum = 0;
    int byteread = 0;
    File oldfile = new File(from);
    if (oldfile.exists()) {
        InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(from);
        FileOutputStream fs = new FileOutputStream(to);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1444];
        while ((byteread = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            bytesum += byteread;
            fs.write(buffer, 0, byteread);
        }
        inStream.close();
        fs.close();
    }
    return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
    return false;
}
}
