Flutter - How to download files in WebView?

Question

I am using flutter_webview_plugin: ^0.3.8 but I have the same problem with webview_flutter: ^0.3.13.

In webview, I want to make use of a website which triggers a file download on successful completion of a captcha. However, I complete the captcha and nothing happens, no download.

Is there something in Flutter like a webview download listener ("webview.setDownloadListener")? I only need this for Android.

If not, is there a way of downloading files from a webview in Flutter?

Answer 1

just add this code to your AndroidManifest.xml

   <provider
            android:name="vn.hunghd.flutterdownloader.DownloadedFileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.flutter_downloader.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
    </provider>

and add this code to your AndroidManifest.xml

it works to me
