Download Intent

I've been developing a movie application that user can download movie via direct link. At end part I have problem. Does android have intent for downloading ? I want that when user click one button , one dialog showed and user can choose one of downloader(download applications), do they want ! Just like when we click on one direct link in browser.

Solution

  • you can try this below

     Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://apache.claz.org/nifi/1.1.0/nifi-1.1.0-bin.tar.gz");
 Intent it  = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);
 startActivity(it);

    this well show up a browsers list, you can choose one from them and the download will begin.
