[FREE] ASD Downloader Extension - Download and manage files in ASD

[The_K_Studio]

This is strange. I hope you are testing in compiled Apk and not in companion.

I used that (DeepHost's) extension in one of my app, and it works. May be you can try with SAF extension.

Yes, I am indeed trying it in compiled APK

@The_K_Studio

May be you can try with SAF extension.

Im a stranger to it, maybe you could demonstrate us how?

@Anke

Really a waste of time...

I agree

@The_K_Studio Let me suggest you to keep the extension in its core functionality i.e to download files to ASD and remove the not working features for newer Android versions again.

@Taifun

Are you aware, that on newer devices you are not allowed anymore to write files to arbitrary directories, for example /My Files? See also Some basics on Android storage system

SAF is complicated for me as well, I need to look into the documentation if it can be done using it.

BTW, i am talking about this extension.

Yes I will consider this if it doesn't work for all android version, but before that let me try testing it.

SAF for what?
It does grant you access to user specified folder but still I don't think you'll be able to use Download Manager to download files in that folder.

[The_K_Studio]

My only concern is why is it working for me only, and not for others. If it doesn't work for me either then I would not have added custom download path block.

Yes, that's really more than strange. Something is messed up with your device. Do a factory reset and try again. And/or try on another device with Android 11+. It will not work!

@Anke

Yes, that's really more than strange.

Probably device specific silly behavior.

Probably device specific silly behavior

That shouldn't amuse Google, given all of its obsession with restrictions.

[The_K_Studio]

Extension is updated for API 34: try if this works.

@The_K_Studio

Try this for SDK 34: ASDDownloaderAPI34.aix (35.2 KB)

Thanks

I try to Download picture and set to Canvas.
Where is my problem?
testASDdownload.aia (59.6 KB)

@Dragomir_Haralambiev

Where is my problem?

Canvas.BackgroundImage needs an absolute path (not a relative path to the ASD, i.e. not just the fileName).

[Dragomir_Haralambiev]

Now working fine!!
Thanks!

How to hide information from Download Manager (first line at the screen)?

@Dragomir_Haralambiev

How to hide information from Download Manager (first line at the screen)?

Do you mean download manager notification?

[Dragomir_Haralambiev]

YES that's what I mean.

[The_K_Studio]

Okay, then the extension has a property to hide the notification, either uncheck show notification property or set it to false in blocks. This will hide the download manager notification.

This will work in Apk.

[arspujalabs]

so i have a web application that supports downloading reports via blob URL, where when the user clicks a button it will redirect to blob::http://mysite/report/245264363.

any suggestions on what kind of block would be appropriate to handle this case?

thanks for your help.

[TIMAI2]

Not this extension to do that
