I investigated this post: Manipulating SharePoint list items with Android (JAVA) and NTLM Authentication but i do not want to consume a webservice, i just want to download a file.

Did you use standard Java java.net.Authenticator http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/Authenticator.html? If it doesn't support NTLM check http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/auth/NTCredentials.html and related org.apache.http package. Also look at blog http://mrrask.wordpress.com/2009/08/21/android-authenticating-via-ntlm/ where it is shown how to use it. In par
