Android Download manager is delayed and always unsuccessfull


So, I'm trying to implement a download pdf feature for my app. Here is the code where i start the download manager.

val document = documents[i]
val request = DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://repository.bsi.ac.id/repo/files/256149/download/File_8-Bab-I-Pengenalan-Android.pdf"))
  .setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI)
  .setTitle("Downloading Pdf-Android")
  .setMimeType("application/pdf")
  .setDescription("File Description")
  .setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED)
  .setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(
                    Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,
                    "Pdf-Android.pdf"
                )

val filter = IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE)
applicationContext.registerReceiver(DownloadReceiver(), filter)
downloadManager.enqueue(request)

After quite some times, the download launch but failed immediately, and i can't really debug it since the logcat doesn't display anything. I have tried to set the allowed network types into celluar, give the permission for writing external files.

I tried to use the method from the answer, but for some reason i don't get any information in logcat. But the download still unsuccessfull and no log is found on logcat

i already register the broadcast receiver on manifset like this

<receiver
  android:name="somename.DownloadReceiver"
  android:enabled="true"
  android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Solution

  • It's a bit of an inconvenient situation; however, due to this code, we encounter the DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED error (Reason log is Download failed: 1). I discovered the relevant information from this link: DownloadManager. Despite encountering this error, the documentation pertaining to it is also quite inadequate. I just added a method like this to detect the cause of the problem.

    val downloadId = downloadManager.enqueue(request)
    lifecycleScope.launch {
        while (true) {
            checkDownloadStatus(applicationContext, downloadId)
            delay(10000)
        }
    }
    
    
    private fun checkDownloadStatus(context: Context?, downloadId: Long) {
        val downloadManager = context?.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
        val query = DownloadManager.Query().setFilterById(downloadId)
        val cursor = downloadManager.query(query)
    
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            Log.i("DownloadManager", "cursorStarted")
            try {
                val columnStatusIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)
                val columnReasonIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_REASON)
    
                val status = cursor.getInt(columnStatusIndex)
    
                Log.i("DownloadManagerStatus", "$status")
    
                when (status) {
                    DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL -> {
                        Log.i("DownloadManagerSuccess", "Download successful")
                    }
                    DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED -> {
                        val reason = cursor.getInt(columnReasonIndex)
                        Log.e("DownloadManagerFailed", "Download failed: $reason")
                    }
                    DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED -> {
                        val reason = cursor.getInt(columnReasonIndex)
                        Log.e("DownloadManagerPaused", "Download paused: $reason")
                    }
    
                    else -> {
                        val reason = cursor.getInt(columnReasonIndex)
                        Log.e("DownloadManagerUnknown", "unknown : $reason")
                    }
                }
    
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                e.printStackTrace()
            }
        }
    
        cursor.close()
    }
