↳ | android.app.DownloadManager |
The download manager is a system service that handles long-running HTTP downloads. Clients may request that a URI be downloaded to a particular destination file. The download manager will conduct the download in the background, taking care of HTTP interactions and retrying downloads after failures or across connectivity changes and system reboots.
Apps that request downloads through this API should register a broadcast receiver for
ACTION_NOTIFICATION_CLICKED
to appropriately handle when the user clicks on a running
download in a notification or from the downloads UI.
Note that the application must have the Manifest.permission.INTERNET
permission to use this class.

Public methods
addCompletedDownload
public long addCompletedDownload (String title, String description, boolean isMediaScannerScannable, String mimeType, String path, long length, boolean showNotification)
This method was deprecated
in API level 29.
Apps should instead contribute files to
MediaStore.Downloads
collection to make them available to user
as part of Downloads.
Adds a file to the downloads database system, so it could appear in Downloads App (and thus become eligible for management by the Downloads App).
It is helpful to make the file scannable by MediaScanner by setting the param isMediaScannerScannable to true. It makes the file visible in media managing applications such as Gallery App, which could be a useful purpose of using this API.
For applications targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q
or above,
path
must be within directories owned by the application
{e.g. Context#getExternalFilesDir(String)
} or if the application is running under
the legacy storage model (see
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage
), path
can also be within the top-level
Downloads directory (as returned by
Environment#getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(String)
with
Environment#DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS
).
