My code below loads the url page fine and after searching for a song when I click on the download link it crashes. There aren't so much tutorials on how to get the download manager to work with a webview. What am I doing wrong?
import java.io.File;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.DownloadManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class List1 extends Activity {
WebView ourBrow;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Use a custom layout file
setContentView(R.layout.list1);
final DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
final File destinationDir = new File (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), getPackageName());
if (!destinationDir.exists()) {
destinationDir.mkdir(); // Don't forget to make the directory if it's not there
}
ourBrow = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wvBrowser);
ourBrow.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
ourBrow.setInitialScale(50);
ourBrow.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
ourBrow.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
ourBrow.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
ourBrow.loadUrl("http://www.degjo.com");
ourBrow.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, String url) {
boolean shouldOverride = false;
// We only want to handle requests for mp3 files, everything else the webview
// can handle normally
if (url.endsWith(".mp3")) {
shouldOverride = true;
Uri source = Uri.parse(url);
// Make a new request pointing to the mp3 url
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(source);
// Use the same file name for the destination
File destinationFile = new File (destinationDir, source.getLastPathSegment());
request.setDestinationUri(Uri.fromFile(destinationFile));
// Add it to the manager
manager.enqueue(request);
}
return shouldOverride;
}
});
}
}

It may be depends on the android build version problem, the below code will work successfully on 2.3+ builds, check this out,
ourBrow.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,
String description, String failingUrl) {
Log.d("WEB_VIEW_TEST", "error code:" + errorCode + " - " + description);
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// handle different requests for different type of files
// this example handles downloads requests for .apk and .mp3 files
// everything else the webview can handle normally
if (url.endsWith(".apk")) {
Uri source = Uri.parse(url);
// Make a new request pointing to the .apk url
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(source);
// appears the same in Notification bar while downloading
request.setDescription("Description for the DownloadManager Bar");
request.setTitle("YourApp.apk");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
}
// save the file in the "Downloads" folder of SDCARD
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "SmartPigs.apk");
// get download service and enqueue file
DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
manager.enqueue(request);
}
else if(url.endsWith(".mp3")) {
// if the link points to an .mp3 resource do something else
}
// if there is a link to anything else than .apk or .mp3 load the URL in the webview
else view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
