Did some trivial modifications to @barmaley's code

public boolean copyFile(File src, File dst) {
    boolean returnValue = true;

   FileChannel inChannel = null, outChannel = null;

    try {

        inChannel = new FileInputStream(src).getChannel();
        outChannel = new FileOutputStream(dst).getChannel();

   } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {

        Log.d(logtag, "inChannel/outChannel FileNotFoundException");
        fnfe.printStackTrace();
        return false;
   }

   try {
       inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);

   } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {

         Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo IllegalArgumentException");
         iae.printStackTrace();
         returnValue = false;

   } catch (NonReadableChannelException nrce) {

         Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo NonReadableChannelException");
         nrce.printStackTrace();
         returnValue = false;

   } catch (NonWritableChannelException nwce) {

        Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo NonWritableChannelException");
        nwce.printStackTrace();
        returnValue = false;

   } catch (ClosedByInterruptException cie) {

        Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo ClosedByInterruptException");
        cie.printStackTrace();
        returnValue = false;

   } catch (AsynchronousCloseException ace) {

        Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo AsynchronousCloseException");
        ace.printStackTrace();
        returnValue = false;

   } catch (ClosedChannelException cce) {

        Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo ClosedChannelException");
        cce.printStackTrace(); 
        returnValue = false;

    } catch (IOException ioe) {

        Log.d(logtag, "TransferTo IOException");
        ioe.printStackTrace();
        returnValue = false;


    } finally {

         if (inChannel != null)

            try {

               inChannel.close();
           } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }

        if (outChannel != null)
            try {
                outChannel.close();
           } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
           }

        }

       return returnValue;
    }
