                                final String filename = file.mName.substring(file.mName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) ;
                                final String urlString = "http://" + mIp + file.mName ;

                                String serviceString = Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE ;
                                DownloadManager downloadManager ;
                                downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getActivity().getSystemService(

                                request.setTitle(filename) ;
                                request.setDescription(urlString) ;

                                String ext = filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1)
                                        .toLowerCase(Locale.US) ;

                                Log.i("MIME", ext + "  ==>  " + mimeType) ;

                                if (mimeType != null) {
                                    request.setMimeType(mimeType) ;
                                }

                                downloadManager.enqueue(request) ;

How to Stop the item download when the file is downloading ?

Answer 1

DownloadManager#enqueue returns a long representing the id of the download taking place. Save that long in a variable.

Then, if you need to cancel the download, call DownloadManager#remove() passing in that long.

Eg

//start a download
long id = downloadManager.enqueue(request);

//stop a download
downloadManager.remove(id);
