I am facing problem of opening downloaded file after successfull download via DownloadManager API. In my code:
Uri uri=Uri.parse("http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/206402main_jsc2007e113280_hires.jpg");
Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)
.mkdirs();
lastDownload = mgr.enqueue(new DownloadManager.Request(uri)
.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI |
DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
.setAllowedOverRoaming(false)
.setTitle("app update")
.setDescription("New version 1.1")
.setShowRunningNotification(true)
.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "a.apk"));
Cursor c=mgr.query(new DownloadManager.Query().setFilterById(lastDownload));
if(c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)) == 8) {
try {
mgr.openDownloadedFile(c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_ID)));
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("MGR", "Error");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("MGR", "Error");
}
}
Problem is when is if(c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS))==8)
evoked. I got status -1 and an exception. Is there any better way, how to open downloaded files with DownloadManager API
? In my example I am downloading a big image, in a real situation I would be downloading an APK
file and I need to display an installation dialog immediately after udpate.
Edit: I figured out that status=8 is after successfull download. You might have different "checking successfull download" approach
Thanks
You need to register a reciever for when the download is complete:
registerReceiver(onComplete, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
and a BroadcastReciever handler
BroadcastReceiver onComplete=new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
// Do Something
}
};
Buy instead of me ripping off everything, I suggest you'll check this out.
EDIT:
Just as a suggestion, I wouldn't recommend using API 9 just yet: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
There are ways around this, by creating your very own download handler, like I did, because we didn't want to alienate most of our android's user base, for that you'll need: Create AsyncTask which handles the file download.
and i'll recommend to create a download dialog of some sort (if you say it's a big file, i'd make it appear in the notification area).
and than you'll need to handle the opening of the file:
protected void openFile(String fileName) {
Intent install = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
install.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(fileName)),
"MIME-TYPE");
startActivity(install);
}
