download-manager

I am trying to use the DownloadManager to download large PDF files from my app. I want notifications to be displayed during the download as well as when the download finishes.

Here is my code : CategoryActivity.java (Activity of the ListView) @Override public void onItemClick

So I am not experienced in dealing with a plethora of file types, and I haven't been able to find much info on exactly what .sh files are. Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to download map data sets which are arranged in tiles that can be downloaded individually: http://daymet.ornl.gov/gridded In order to download a range of tiles at once, they say to download their script, which eventually leads to daymet-nc-retrieval.sh : https://github.com/daymet/scripts/blob/master/Bash/daymet-nc-retrieval.sh So, what exactly am I supposed to do with this code? The website doesn't provide further

Since Android 4.2 if a user downloads some file in the browser the DownloadManager is used. If the user clicks the 'download complete' notification an Intent is and was always launched. Before Android 4.2 the intent used to have the downloaded file's path in the content, such that: intent.getData() would return a String such as file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/some_file.ext . However, since Android 4.2 the download manager broadcasts and intent with a content scheme, such as content://downloads/all_downloads/2334 . How do I retrieve the local file path for a downloaded file? I've tried the
