| ↳ | 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.
Instances of this class should be obtained through
getSystemService(String) by passing
DOWNLOAD_SERVICE.
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 INTERNET
permission to use this class.

Broadcast intent action sent by the download manager when a download completes.
Broadcast intent action sent by the download manager when the user clicks on a running download, either from a system notification or from the downloads UI.
Intent action to launch an activity to display all downloads.
Number of bytes download so far.
The client-supplied description of this download. This will be displayed in system notifications. Defaults to the empty string.
An identifier for a particular download, unique across the system. Clients use this ID to make subsequent calls related to the download.
Timestamp when the download was last modified, in System.currentTimeMillis() (wall clock time in UTC).
The pathname of the file where the download is stored.
Uri where downloaded file will be stored. If a destination is supplied by client, that URI will be used here. Otherwise, the value will initially be null and will be filled in with a generated URI once the download has started.
The URI to the corresponding entry in MediaProvider for this downloaded entry. It is used to delete the entries from MediaProvider database when it is deleted from the downloaded list.
Internet Media Type of the downloaded file. If no value is provided upon creation, this will initially be null and will be filled in based on the server's response once the download has started.
Provides more detail on the status of the download. Its meaning depends on the value of
COLUMN_STATUS.
When COLUMN_STATUS is STATUS_FAILED, this indicates the type of error that
occurred. If an HTTP error occurred, this will hold the HTTP status code as defined in RFC
2616. Otherwise, it will hold one of the ERROR_* constants.
When COLUMN_STATUS is STATUS_PAUSED, this indicates why the download is
paused. It will hold one of the PAUSED_* constants.
If COLUMN_STATUS is neither STATUS_FAILED nor STATUS_PAUSED, this
column's value is undefined.
Current status of the download, as one of the STATUS_* constants.
The client-supplied title for this download. This will be displayed in system notifications. Defaults to the empty string.
Total size of the download in bytes. This will initially be -1 and will be filled in once the download starts.
URI to be downloaded.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when some possibly transient error occurred but we can't
resume the download.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when no external storage device was found. Typically,
this is because the SD card is not mounted.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when the requested destination file already exists (the
download manager will not overwrite an existing file).
Value of COLUMN_REASON when a storage issue arises which doesn't fit under any
other error code. Use the more specific ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_SPACE and
ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND when appropriate.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when an error receiving or processing data occurred at
the HTTP level.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when there was insufficient storage space. Typically,
this is because the SD card is full.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when there were too many redirects.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when an HTTP code was received that download manager
can't handle.
Value of COLUMN_ERROR_CODE when the download has completed with an error that doesn't fit under any other error code.
Intent extra included with ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE intents, indicating the ID (as a
long) of the download that just completed.
When clicks on multiple notifications are received, the following
provides an array of download ids corresponding to the download notification that was
clicked. It can be retrieved by the receiver of this
Intent using getLongArrayExtra(String).
Intent extra included with ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS to start DownloadApp in
sort-by-size mode.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when the download exceeds a size limit for downloads over
the mobile network and the download manager is waiting for a Wi-Fi connection to proceed.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when the download is paused for some other reason.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when the download is waiting for network connectivity to
proceed.
Value of COLUMN_REASON when the download is paused because some network error
occurred and the download manager is waiting before retrying the request.
Value of COLUMN_STATUS when the download has failed (and will not be retried).
Value of COLUMN_STATUS when the download is waiting to retry or resume.
Value of COLUMN_STATUS when the download is waiting to start.
Value of COLUMN_STATUS when the download is currently running.
Value of COLUMN_STATUS when the download has successfully completed.
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.
| title | the title that would appear for this file in Downloads App. |
|---|---|
| description | the description that would appear for this file in Downloads App. |
| isMediaScannerScannable | true if the file is to be scanned by MediaScanner. Files scanned by MediaScanner appear in the applications used to view media (for example, Gallery app). |
| mimeType | mimetype of the file. |
| path | absolute pathname to the file. The file should be world-readable, so that it can be managed by the Downloads App and any other app that is used to read it (for example, Gallery app to display the file, if the file contents represent a video/image). |
| length | length of the downloaded file |
| showNotification | true if a notification is to be sent, false otherwise |
Enqueue a new download. The download will start automatically once the download manager is ready to execute it and connectivity is available.
| request | the parameters specifying this download |
|---|
Returns maximum size, in bytes, of downloads that may go over a mobile connection; or null if there's no limit
| context | the Context to use for accessing the ContentResolver |
|---|
Returns Uri for the given downloaded file id, if the file is
downloaded successfully. otherwise, null is returned.
If the specified downloaded file is in external storage (for example, /sdcard dir),
then it is assumed to be safe for anyone to read and the returned Uri corresponds
to the filepath on sdcard.
| id | the id of the downloaded file. |
|---|
Uri for the given downloaded file id, if download was successful. null
otherwise.
Returns recommended maximum size, in bytes, of downloads that may go over a mobile connection; or null if there's no recommended limit. The user will have the option to bypass this limit.
| context | the Context to use for accessing the ContentResolver |
|---|
Returns Uri for the given downloaded file id, if the file is
downloaded successfully. otherwise, null is returned.
If the specified downloaded file is in external storage (for example, /sdcard dir),
then it is assumed to be safe for anyone to read and the returned Uri corresponds
to the filepath on sdcard.
| id | the id of the downloaded file. |

Uri for the given downloaded file id, if download was successful. null
otherwise.
Open a downloaded file for reading. The download must have completed.

|---|
ParcelFileDescriptor| FileNotFoundException | if the destination file does not already exist |
|---|
Query the download manager about downloads that have been requested.
| query | parameters specifying filters for this query |
|---|
Cancel downloads and remove them from the download manager. Each download will be stopped if it was running, and it will no longer be accessible through the download manager. If there is a downloaded file, partial or complete, it is deleted.
