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!
