Thank you. That doesn't solve the problem though, because I have to specify the length of the byte[] array before I supply it, and I can't get that from an InputStream. Any idea how I can work out the length of the data given the Uri?

You don't have to know the file size in advance. The proposed solution will work with any stream length.

why do we need to declare a buffer size? could w eput any length and if so, is there no way to put entire contents at once?

@AP257 I'm not sure if it helps, but to read the number of bytes from input stream you can call .available() method
