Android browser download manager

Question

Can I use android build-in browser download manager to download files in my application?

In case of audio files, opening remote file url using Intent.ACTION_VIEW with data type "audio/*" causes browser to start playback, but I'd like to force download of specified file.

Answer 1

The download manager is not part of the public SDK. You are welcome to download files from URLs via HttpURLConnection or HttpClient, both part of the Android SDK.
