How do I check to see how much MB or GB is left on the android device ? I am using JAVA and android SDK 2.0.1.

Is there any system service that would expose something like this ?

android java

I have designed some ready to use functions to get available space in different units. You can use these methods by simply copying any one of them into your project.

/**
 * @return Number of bytes available on External storage
 */
public static long getAvailableSpaceInBytes() {
    long availableSpace = -1L;
    StatFs stat = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());
    availableSpace = (long) stat.getAvailableBlocks() * (long) stat.getBlockSize();

    return availableSpace;
}


/**
 * @return Number of kilo bytes available on External storage
 */
public static long getAvailableSpaceInKB(){
    final long SIZE_KB = 1024L;
    long availableSpace = -1L;
    StatFs stat = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());
    availableSpace = (long) stat.getAvailableBlocks() * (long) stat.getBlockSize();
    return availableSpace/SIZE_KB;
}
/**
 * @return Number of Mega bytes available on External storage
 */
public static long getAvailableSpaceInMB(){
    final long SIZE_KB = 1024L;
    final long SIZE_MB = SIZE_KB * SIZE_KB;
    long availableSpace = -1L;
    StatFs stat = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());
    availableSpace = (long) stat.getAvailableBlocks() * (long) stat.getBlockSize();
    return availableSpace/SIZE_MB;
}

/**
 * @return Number of gega bytes available on External storage
 */
public static long getAvailableSpaceInGB(){
    final long SIZE_KB = 1024L;
    final long SIZE_GB = SIZE_KB * SIZE_KB * SIZE_KB;
    long availableSpace = -1L;
    StatFs stat = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());
    availableSpace = (long) stat.getAvailableBlocks() * (long) stat.getBlockSize();
    return availableSpace/SIZE_GB;
}
