Hi gals and guys!
I've came across many unsolved issues regarding WebView with support for
downloading files in Android.
Here's the code (whole MainActivity.java) for simple WebView:
package com.webview.downloader;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import com.pad.android.xappad.AdController;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWeb;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
mWeb = new WebView(this);
setContentView(mWeb);
WebSettings settings = mWeb.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWeb.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
mWeb.loadUrl("http://www.site-with-direct-links.somehostingsite.com";);
}
}
With this code, after opening URL and upon clicking on the link, nothing
happens.
We need to add the following code (just right after mWeb.loadUrl();):
mWeb.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
long contentLength) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
}
});
With this code, now we can surf web and also download files, ex. upon click
on something like:*http://www.google.cz*, the WebView redirects user to
that site, when clicked on:*http://www.google.cz/download-file.apk*,
default browser or any other browser like Google Chrome (after choice) will
popup for a short time and then Download will start.
So my question is following: how can I achieve to start downloading files (*
.zip*, *.rar*, *.apk*) without opening any browser.
Of course, I've looked into docs, also searched stack, but never had a luck
with this. Real example would be good, changes to my code sounds even
better!
Thanks for any ideas!
