setContentView(R.layout.main);
String from = "http://192.168.1.63/ZipFile/Text.zip" ;
String to = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/newunzip/";
try {
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n in try after function :");
downloadFile(from, to);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n \n Exception occured :");
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n \n Exception message is :"+e.getMessage());

((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n \n output method :"+ b1);
int byteCount = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead = -1;
while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer)) != -1)
{
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n \n reading/writing files :");
fOut.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
byteCount += bytesRead;
}
fOut.flush();
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.display)).append("\n \n flush & close :");
