I have an Android app where I intercept a PDF file download event in the WebView, download it using the DownloadManager, and launch a new intent with the Adobe Reader to display the file. It works fine, except that when the Adobe Reader starts, it displays the following message prior to displaying the actual file:
Read-only document | To modify this document save a copy on your device.
Save | View Read-only
After I dismiss this prompt, the document gets displayed correctly. How can I get rid of the Read-only prompt?
Here is my code:
public class MyDownloadListener implements DownloadListener {
MainActivity activity;
BroadcastReceiver receiver;
DownloadManager downloadManager;
public MyDownloadListener(MainActivity a) {
activity = a;
downloadManager = (DownloadManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
long downloadId = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, 0);
Query query = new Query();
query.setFilterById(downloadId);
Cursor c = downloadManager.query(query);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS);
if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == c.getInt(columnIndex)) {
String uriString = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));
File fileSrc = new File(uriString);
Intent intentPdf = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intentPdf.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(fileSrc), "application/pdf");
intentPdf.setPackage("com.adobe.reader");
intentPdf.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
activity.startActivity(intentPdf);
}
}
}
}
};
activity.registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
}
#Override
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimetype, long contentLength) {
Request request = new Request(Uri.parse(url));
downloadManager.enqueue(request);
}
}
As per the official documentation of class DownloadManager.Request
This class contains all the information necessary to request a new
download. The URI is the only required parameter. Note that the
default download destination is a shared volume where the system might
delete your file if it needs to reclaim space for system use. If this
is a problem, use a location on external storage (see
setDestinationUri(Uri).
So default location is more of a cache location and system can delete the file if it require more space. So if you want to kep the file then you can use setDestinationUri to provide the path in the SD card..
And it looks like the default space does not allow any other thread/process other then the download manager to write file in that space, hence the read only message from the adobe reader..

I am trying to download a file using the DownloadManager inside an AsyncTask
private class DownloadTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean>
{
private Context mContext;
public DownloadTask(Context context)
{
mContext = context;
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... strings) {
String fileName = strings[2]+"_"+strings[3]+ strings[4];
String destination = mDestination + fileName;
final Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://" + destination);
mDownloading = true;
//If the file is already downloading just return.
File file = new File(destination);
if (file.exists()) {
return true;
}
//set downloadmanager
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(strings[0]));
request.setDescription(mContext.getString(R.string.downloading)+ " "+strings[1]);
request.setTitle(mContext.getString(R.string.downloading_title));
//set destination
request.setDestinationUri(uri);
// get download service and enqueue file
final DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
final long downloadId = manager.enqueue(request);
//set BroadcastReceiver to enable next download
BroadcastReceiver onComplete = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
unregisterReceiver(this);
mDownloading = false;
}
};
//register receiver for when file download is compete
registerReceiver(onComplete, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
return true;
}
}`
The code works fine when I pass the url of the file. The thing is, that we want to make a GET call to a WEB made on PHP. This WEB method creates or selects a file and redirects using header("Location: ".$database->single()['Url']);
But when we make the call from DownloadManager it just calls registerReceiver right away.
Does anyone knows why this happens?
If we use a HttpURLConnection it works fine, but we would like to delegate all the hard work of the download in the DownloadManager.
Thank you for your comments.
3xx: redirects is't supported by DownloadManger. Source code at line 510
And it will download the redirect response and finish right way.
So you should get the response head[Location] by yourself, and pass it to the task.
By the way, you needn't put the download task in the AsyncTask.
I am downloading a pdf file using DownloadManager class. It works fine on a Huawei GRA-L09 with android 5.0.1 but on my Nexus 6p with android 7.1.1 I experience the following behavior:
After the file is downloaded I try to open it via intent Action_View so it will be opened with pdf viewer. But when I try to open it I got an error that the file size is 0 and cannot be opened. If I wait about 10 seconds I am able to open the file.
This is the source code of DownloadManager:
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url)); request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir("/Download", "test.pdf");
long enqueue = dm.enqueue(request);
This is the source code of the BroadcastReceiver:
private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
DownloadManager.Query query = new DownloadManager.Query();
query.setFilterById(enqueue);
Cursor cursor = null;
String uri = null;
String mime = null;
try {
cursor = downloadManager.query(query);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int status = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS));
if (status == DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL) {
// process download
uri = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI));
mime = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_MEDIA_TYPE));
}
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
openFile(Uri.parse(uri), mime);
}
}
};
private void openFile(final Uri fileLocation, final String mimeType) {
Intent objIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
objIntent.setDataAndType(fileLocation, mimeType);
Log.d(Constants.TAG, "Downloaded file Uri: " + fileLocation.toString() + " mime:" + mimeType);
objIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(objIntent, getString(R.string.choose_application));
startActivity(chooserIntent);//Starting the pdf viewer
}
I tried opening it without the intent for pdf, just by pressing the notification icon on the status bar. The same thing happens, as if the file is locked or not downloaded yet.
UPDATE: On the Nexus device I get file size = 0 when i check file.length() after the download is completed. On the Huawei GRA-L09 the file size is 1882670.
So why do I get Download completed broadcast for a file with size 0?
I am trying to perform a direct download inside the WebView, not linking to the browser.
webview.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
#SuppressLint("DefaultLocale")
#Override
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimetype, long contentLength) {
MimeTypeMap mtm = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
Uri downloadUri = Uri.parse(url);
// get file name. if filename exists in contentDisposition, use it. otherwise, use the last part of the url.
String fileName = downloadUri.getLastPathSegment();
int pos = 0;
if ((pos = contentDisposition.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf("filename=")) >= 0) {
fileName = contentDisposition.substring(pos + 9);
pos = fileName.lastIndexOf(";");
if (pos > 0) {
fileName = fileName.substring(0, pos - 1);
}
}
// predict MIME Type
String fileExtension = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf(".") + 1, fileName.length()).toLowerCase();
String mimeType = mtm.getMimeTypeFromExtension(fileExtension);
// request saving in Download directory
Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(downloadUri);
request.setTitle(fileName);
request.setDescription(url);
request.setMimeType(mimeType);
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir( Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, fileName);
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).mkdirs();
// request in download manager
downloadManager.enqueue(request);
}
});
And to open it,
// download complete toast
private BroadcastReceiver completeReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Resources res = context.getResources();
// make toast
Toast.makeText(context, res.getString(R.string.download_complete), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// go to download finished window
startActivity(new Intent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS));
}
};
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
// if app stops, stop reciever
unregisterReceiver(completeReceiver);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
// app start, start reciever
IntentFilter completeFilter = new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE);
registerReceiver(completeReceiver, completeFilter);
super.onResume();
}
}
However, the result is not the original file, but the HTML format of the source using the original file extension; e.g. it uses .pdf, but is a HTML file.
What is causing this problem, and How can I fix it?
Files I get
First of all, it is impossible to open with a normal PDF viewer, and when I don't open it as PDF, I get a normal HTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
…
</html>
There is NOTHING SPECIAL in the HTML document.
I found that your filename is coming with quote so just replace it.
fileName=fileName.replaceAll("\"", "");
you will get the proper file. I have also used that code in mine and it's successfully worked.
I'm trying to download files thru DownloadManager, it works perfectly on most of the phones (Nexus family, S3, etc) but on Galaxy S2 for some reason the download works, but the name of the file is set wrong and when I try to open it (either from notification, either downloads app) it says that the file cannot be opened, even for files like jpeg, gif, png, etc.
Here is the code:
DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) service
.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request downloadReq = new DownloadManager.Request(
Uri.parse(URL));
downloadReq
.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI
| DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
downloadReq.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
downloadReq.setMimeType(attachment.mimeType);
downloadReq.setTitle(attachment.fileName);
downloadReq.setDescription("attachment");
downloadReq.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(service,
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "");
downloadReq
.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE
| DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
downloadIDs.add(downloadManager.enqueue(downloadReq));
Also please note that all the URLs are https, and the phone's android version is 4.1.2
Any idea?
Many Thanks!
Update: if I add the file name in this call:
downloadReq.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(service,
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, attachment.fileName);
the good name is displayed in the notification center.
You should register yourself to receive a broadcast when the file download is complete. Over there you can also grab the filename. This will need some changes to the code:
Retain the ID returned from enqueue call:
long enqueue = downloadManager.enqueue(downloadReq);
Register a receiver to get the broadcast:
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
declare the receiver:
BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (!DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
return;
}
context.getApplicationContext().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
Query query = new Query();
query.setFilterById(enqueue);
Cursor c = dm.query(query);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS);
if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == c.getInt(columnIndex)) {
String uriString = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI));
Log.i(TAG, "downloaded file " + uriString);
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "download failed " + c.getInt(columnIndex));
}
}
}
};
Assuming a filename for download is not good practice. If you download it again without removing the previous one it will automatically get a suffix.
I am in process of developing an app wherein I am downloading pdf files from a remote server. I am so far successful in downloading the PDF files on my phone via the app. The problem that I am facing is that the downloaded file is not visible in the Downloads directory on my Galaxy Nexus. When I use the file manager app I can see the file there and it opens up real nice.
I tried using the following options in my code but none of them seems to solve my problem (both these options successfully download the file and its visible in the file manager) :
outFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + fileName);
And
outFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), fileName);
Can someone please help me with some clues ? Any hint or clue will be of great help.
I was able to do it using the DownloadManager in the following way :
dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
Request request = new Request(
Uri.parse("http://"));
enqueue = dm.enqueue(request);
BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
long downloadId = intent.getLongExtra(
DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, 0);
Query query = new Query();
query.setFilterById(enqueue);
Cursor c = dm.query(query);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
int columnIndex = c
.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS);
if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == c
.getInt(columnIndex)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Download Complete!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}
};
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(
DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
