How to know the sdcard has enough free size to write in on Android?

I've got the "No space left on device" IOException when writing file. I wish to avoid it happens before writing. How should I do?

Thanks!

StatFs stat = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());
long bytesAvailable = (long)stat.getBlockSize() * (long)stat.getBlockCount();
long megAvailable = bytesAvailable / 1048576;
