DownloadManager does not work on Android 8.0. I don't know why. Can somebody help me?
This is what I have tried:
val downloadBroadcastReceiver = DownloadBroadcastReceiver()
context.registerReceiver(downloadBroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE))
request = DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url))
val mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(folder + File.separator + fileName))
request.setMimeType(mimeType)
request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(context, Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, fileName)
request.setTitle(title)
request.setDescription(description)
request.setNotificationVisibility(VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED)
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner()
id = downloadManager.enqueue(request)

Android Download Manager Not Working Sometimes the Android Download Manager doesn't work. Oftentimes, the files it's downloading (to a temporary location called a "cache") become corrupted. In this case, wiping the cache should fix the problem.
If you're usually on an erratic mobile network, the chances of this happening are even higher. Hence, you need a download manager. Download managers can help you overcome several common hassles about downloading from the internet.
Make sure you don't have any VPN applications enabled on the phone. In my case I had an ad-blocker application hat ran as VPN on the phone that interfered with the DownloadManager.
