I am implementing an app with an expansion file, and as recommended in the Android Developer docs, I am also doing a manual check when the app starts, whether the expansion file exists, and if not, download it manually via the Download Library, that comes with the Android SDK samples.
https://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.html#Preparing I have it running and it's working with my app and a relatively small expansion file (1.4 MB). When I upload my app to the Google Play store (Alpha test mode), the app is available after 2-3 hours, as usual. And at the same time, the download library is also able to find and download the expansion file in my app, if it's not there. (For testing purposes, I delete the expansion file manually on my sdcard, in order to test that the download check works correctly). *But when I use a much larger expansion file of around 340 MB size, the manual download from within my app does not find that file, even though the app is available in the Play store.* When I download the app from Google Play, it downloads the app including the large expansion file just fine. But when I then, for testing purposes, delete the expansion file from my sdcard, and restart my app, the app should check if the expansion file exists (it doesn't) and should download it. But this time, it cannot find the resource. "Download failed because the resource could not be found." is the message I am getting when I run the (modified) sample app that comes with the Android SDK. (According to that message, the DownloadClient state seems to be in this: static final int STATE_FAILED_FETCHING_URL = 16;) I'm on Android 4.4.4 with a Nexus 4. Has anyone experienced this problem with large expansion files and those not being available via manual download (through the Android download library)? I checked the log, no errors, and no other changes in the app. Or is there a longer waiting time until a large expansion file gets available, beyond those regular 2-3 hours until an app update is available in Google Play? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
