download HTTP/HTTPS URIs with DownloadManager

Question

I googled and find something about this. But that doesn't help.

Android Version: 4.0+
here's my code:

DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url));

And my url is https://static.test.com/downloads/xxx.apk

Scheme is https, but I still get an error:

02-10 11:18:23.710 E/AndroidRuntime( 7550): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service com.souyidai.investment.android.service.DownloadService@4344e5e0 with Intent { act=download_with_download_manager cmp=com.souyidai.investment.android/.service.DownloadService (has extras) }: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can only download HTTP/HTTPS URIs:  https://static.test.com/downloads/xxx.apk

Here's the DownloadManager.Request code:

    public Request(Uri uri) {
        if (uri == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException();
        }
        String scheme = uri.getScheme();
        if (scheme == null || (!scheme.equals("http") && !scheme.equals("https"))) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can only download HTTP/HTTPS URIs: " + uri);
        }
        mUri = uri;
    }

Any ideas?

I just had the same problem. For some reason, my url had one kind of white space before the "https". Using trim() on the url String solved the problem.
