Android - Saving video to internal storage

I currently use a FloatingActionButton to open the gallery and let the user pick a video, once the video has been selected it is opened in a videoView.

public class Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private static final int pick = 100;
    Uri videoUri;
    VideoView videoview;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity);

        videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview);

        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                openGallery();

            }


        });
    }

    private void openGallery() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,     MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
        startActivityForResult(intent, pick);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)     {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == pick) {
            videoUri = data.getData();
            videoview.setVideoURI(videoUri);
            videoview.start();

        }

    }

I want to save the video to the internal storage once the user selects it?

Here is how you can save video to the internal storage after the user select it.

Inside onActivityResult code block, add the following:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)     {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == pick) {


        try {

            File newfile;

            AssetFileDescriptor videoAsset = getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(data.getData(), "r");
            FileInputStream in = videoAsset.createInputStream();

            File filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
            File dir = new File(filepath.getAbsolutePath() + "/" +"Your Folder Name" + "/");
            if (!dir.exists()) {
                dir.mkdirs();
            }

            newfile = new File(dir, "save_"+System.currentTimeMillis()+".mp4");

            if (newfile.exists()) newfile.delete();



            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(newfile);

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

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

            in.close();
            out.close();

            Log.v("", "Copy file successful.");


            videoUri = data.getData();
            videoview.setVideoURI(videoUri);
            videoview.start();



        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }




    }

}

Note: Don't forget to add permission to the manifest.
