  <p>I am trying to create a SmbFileInputStream object. This will works fine if SmbFile 'src' is a file, but if 'src' is a smb Directory then it throws exception:</p>

  <p>What is wrong with this code? or where am I going wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Hi please check this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>case DOWNLOAD2:
  
  /*This code snippet is used to download a file/folder from smb nETWORK to android sd card.
  when I run this code its throwing some exception. It have commented where ever necessary. rest of the code is self
  explanatory. So please go through the code and please tell why this exception is thrown.
  IF POSSIBLE PLEASE ADD A PROGRESS BAR WHICH SHOULD HELP USER SAYING SOME WORK IS GOING ON.
  I have tried including a progress bar, but its not working. I ve read some materials related to this,
  but every thing makes use threads. I am not that good at threads. So is it possible to include a progess bar,
  without using threads?If possible please help me to do it.
  And this code is working file for smb files, I dont know why its throwing exception in case of directories.
  Please see why this is throwing exception..
  So please see that the modified code contains:
  a)no exceptions
  b)a progress bar(more specifically a horizontal bar)*/
