I am trying to make a application which downloads files as per the URL's provided. I have 3 different parts (Forms in windows, activities in android) namely pdf, image and text where I am downloading respective type of files.
I am trying to achieve following
While I start download in PDF section, download should start in background and I should be able to navigate to next form and start download in image section, while images and pdf's are getting downloaded, I should be able to move to text form and start text download.
So In short I am trying to make a application which will keep downloading the files in the background even if application closes or pause.
I did this in Android using Bound Services (BIND.AUTO.CREATE) and Async Task.
I am new to Windows phone 8 and I am trying to make the same thing work in windows.
Take a look at Background file transfers.
