android2.3 DownloadManager

I use DownloadManager, which in available since Android 2.3, to download FTP. But it does not work.

I do not know how to make it work? I did not find proper examples. Does DownloadManager support FTP?

Solution

  • Unfortunatelly, FTP won't work.

    DownloadManager supports HTTP. And HTTPS is supported since ICS. If you try downloading from FTP you receive one of these exceptions:

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can only download HTTP URIs

    or

    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can only download HTTP/HTTPS URIs
