How to Save URL Image as JPEG and MMS on Android (java)

This takes a static image URL from the internet, saves it as a JPEG on your internal memory, then composes an MMS message and attached it. I've taken the URLs from Google Maps API, Mapquest, and Bing Maps API. Please take a look at the java code below. This of course has to be on an Async Task running on it's own thread (Network Exception on main thread):

 try {

        try

    {   

          String lat = String.valueOf(latitude);

          String lon = String.valueOf(longitude);

          URL url = new URL("http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/AerialWithLabels/" + lat 

      + "," + lon +"/18?mapSize=480,840&pp="+ lat +"," + lon + ";21;U&key=AsDTsMUE7Rr9oqizyP434eZR9L7UULMuuVZ4Qd-d0K3rqcBz");

   

          switch (API_Mode) {

          default: 

          url = new URL("http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/AerialWithLabels/" + lat 

      + "," + lon +"/18?mapSize=480,840&pp="+ lat +"," + lon + ";21;U&key=AsDTsMUE7Rr9oqizyPuGA8eGNgCUalK9TOTuVZ4Qd-d0K3rqcBz");

    break;  

          case GOOGLE: 

          url = new URL("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center="+ 

          lat +"," + lon + "&zoom=18&size=480x840&markers=color:red|color:red|label:U|"+ 

          lat +"," + lon + "&sensor=false&maptype=hybrid");

    break;  

          case MAPQUEST: 

            url = new URL("http://www.mapquestapi.com/staticmap/v3/getmap?key=Fmjtd|luua29uanl,rw=o5-hwtsd&center="+ 

                lat + ","+ lon +"&zoom=15&size=480,840&type=hyb&imagetype=jpg&pois=U," + 

            lat + "," + lon +",-20,-20|mcenter," + lat + "," + lon + "");

          break;  

          }

      HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

      urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");

      urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);                   

      urlConnection.connect();                  

      File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile();

      SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss");

      String timeStamp = dateFormat.format(new Date());

      String filename="currentLocation_" + timeStamp + ".jpeg";   

      Log.i("Local filename:",""+filename);

      File file = new File(SDCardRoot,filename);

      if(file.createNewFile())

      {

        file.createNewFile();

      }                 

      FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);

      InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

      int totalSize = urlConnection.getContentLength();

      int downloadedSize = 0;   

      byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];

      int bufferLength = 0;

      while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) 

      {                 

        fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);                  

        downloadedSize += bufferLength;                 

        Log.i("Progress:","downloadedSize:"+downloadedSize+"totalSize:"+ totalSize) ;

      }             

      fileOutput.close();

      Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 

      sendIntent.putExtra("address", Number);

            //sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");

            sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "My Current Location: " + lat + "," + lon); 

            sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/" + filename));

            sendIntent.setType("image/jpg");

            startActivity(sendIntent);

    } 

    catch (MalformedURLException e) 

    {

      e.printStackTrace();

    } 

    catch (IOException e)

    {

      e.printStackTrace();

    }

            return true;

        } catch (Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

            return false;
