AWS S3 Java SDK - Download file help

Question

The code below only works for downloading text files from a bucket in S3. This does not work for an image. Is there an easier way to manage downloads/types using the AWS S

Answer 1

Eyals answer gets you half way there but its not all that clear so I will clarify.

AmazonS3Client s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(myCredentials);

//This is where the downloaded file will be saved
File localFile = new File("localFilename");

//This returns an ObjectMetadata file but you don't have to use this if you don't want 
s3Client.getObject(new GetObjectRequest(bucketName, id.getId()), localFile);

//Now your file will have your image saved 
boolean success = localFile.exists() && localFile.canRead();
