DownloadManager VS Own download implementation?

Question

I'm building an application in which I need to download large files.

The application needs to support:
-Download big files (off course..)
-Resume broken downloads
-Be notified about download progress
-Download in the background (when user isn't in the app)
-Manualy pause/resume of downloads

Should I use Android's DownloadManager or implement my own download manager?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Of course it is much easier and probably less error-prone to go with the Android DownloadManager. Be aware though, that it needs Android 2.3 (not so much of a problem anymore I should think).
