[android] How to copy files from 'assets' folder to sdcard?

Here is a cleaned up version for current Android devices, functional method design so that you can copy it to an AssetsHelper class e.g ;)

/**
 * 
 * Info: prior to Android 2.3, any compressed asset file with an
 * uncompressed size of over 1 MB cannot be read from the APK. So this
 * should only be used if the device has android 2.3 or later running!
 * 
 * @param c
 * @param targetFolder
 *            e.g. {@link Environment#getExternalStorageDirectory()}
 * @throws Exception
 */
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD)
public static boolean copyAssets(AssetManager assetManager,
        File targetFolder) throws Exception {
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Copying files from assets to folder " + targetFolder);
    return copyAssets(assetManager, "", targetFolder);
}

/**
 * The files will be copied at the location targetFolder+path so if you
 * enter path="abc" and targetfolder="sdcard" the files will be located in
 * "sdcard/abc"
 * 
 * @param assetManager
 * @param path
 * @param targetFolder
 * @return
 * @throws Exception
 */
public static boolean copyAssets(AssetManager assetManager, String path,
        File targetFolder) throws Exception {
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Copying " + path + " to " + targetFolder);
    String sources[] = assetManager.list(path);
    if (sources.length == 0) { // its not a folder, so its a file:
        copyAssetFileToFolder(assetManager, path, targetFolder);
    } else { // its a folder:
        if (path.startsWith("images") || path.startsWith("sounds")
                || path.startsWith("webkit")) {
            Log.i(LOG_TAG, "  > Skipping " + path);
            return false;
        }
        File targetDir = new File(targetFolder, path);
        targetDir.mkdirs();
        for (String source : sources) {
            String fullSourcePath = path.equals("") ? source : (path
                    + File.separator + source);
            copyAssets(assetManager, fullSourcePath, targetFolder);
        }
    }
    return true;
}

    byte[] buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
    int read;
    while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        out.write(buffer, 0, read);
    }
    in.close();
    out.flush();
    out.close();
