Android: Joining multipart files together to make a single file

I'm working on an android application which can download files in several parallel segments. I have them separately, and now I want to join them all together.

To be more clear, I will show you it by an simple example. Lets say I downloaded 100kb file in 4 segments. 1st segment is from 0kb to 25kb, 2nd is from 25kb to 50kb, 3rd is from 50kb - 75kb and the last segment is from 75kb-100kb. Filetype can be mp3, avi and etc.

Now I need to join them so that those segments (file parts) become a single file. I hope you could help me with this. Thanks for your time!

Edit: for an example its more like segmented avi(xxx.avi.001, xxx.avi.002, xxx.avi.003) files that we sometimes download into our PC and join the files using HJSplit into one file.

Try RandomAccessFile. It has powerful and flexible functions so that you can read or write the file at the accurate byte position.

Try in this way, read from separate file one by one and write into one file. below simple code for your understanding. try this, i hope it will work for you. you can improve this code.

    InputStream in1 = new FileInputStream("sourceLocation1");
    InputStream in2 = new FileInputStream("sourceLocation2");
    InputStream in3 = new FileInputStream("sourceLocation3");
    InputStream in4 = new FileInputStream("sourceLocation4");

    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("targetLocation");

    // Copy the bits from instream to outstream
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int len;

    while ((len = in1.read(buf)) > 0) {
        out.write(buf, 0, len);
    }

    while ((len = in2.read(buf)) > 0) {
        out.write(buf, 0, len);
    }

    while ((len = in3.read(buf)) > 0) {
        out.write(buf, 0, len);
    }

    while ((len = in4.read(buf)) > 0) {
        out.write(buf, 0, len);
    }

    in1.close();
    in2.close();
    in3.close();
    in4.close();
    out.close();
