Changing default download location

Does anybody have an idea about changing the default download location in android? Or do you guys know how can I write an Android application which asks the user download location (sd card or usb memory)?

If you mean downloading from a link in the browser it is up to the browser to set the folder the files are stored in. The default browser uses sdcard/download/ to store files. I am not sure if you can change this in the browser settings or not. But there is nothing stopping you or anyone from making your own browser application that uses a different folder by default, or even asks the user to set their own choice of download folder. I think the firefox app uses sdcard/downloads/ instead of download, they may have a setting in there that lets you change that also.
