How to receive status of download manager intent until download success or failed

Question

Here's my problem. I'm trying to download file from my server using download manager intent via Asynctask. in my doInBackground of asynctask class, i was call download manager intent, and doinBackground will return boolean value when download finish (Success or Failed). Here's my code

  protected Boolean doInBackground(String... f_url) {
        boolean flag = true;
        boolean downloading =true;
        try{
            DownloadManager mManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);            
                           Request mRqRequest = new Request(
                                   Uri.parse("http://"+model.getDownloadURL()));
                           long idDownLoad=mManager.enqueue(mRqRequest);
                           DownloadManager.Query query = null;
                           query = new DownloadManager.Query();
                           Cursor c = null;
                             if(query!=null) {
                                        query.setFilterByStatus(DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED|DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED|DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL|
                                                DownloadManager.STATUS_RUNNING|DownloadManager.STATUS_PENDING);                                         
                             } else {
                        return flag;
                            }
                             c = mManager.query(query);
                                if(c.moveToFirst()) { 
            int status =c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)); 


                               while (downloading)
                               {    Log.i ("FLAG","Downloading");
                                   if (status==DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL)
                                   {    Log.i ("FLAG","done");
                                       downloading = false;
                                       flag=true;
                                       break;      
                                   }
                                   if (status==DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED)
                                   {Log.i ("FLAG","Fail");
                                       downloading = false;
                                       flag=false;
                                      break;
                                   }
                       c.moveToFirst();
                               }
        }
                            return flag;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
             flag = false;
                return flag;
        }    
    }

But DownloadManager status never jump on DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL or DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED.

You have to requery the download manager. The cursor stays the same even if the data changes. Try like this:

protected Boolean doInBackground(String... f_url) {
    boolean flag = true;
    boolean downloading =true;
    try{
        DownloadManager mManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);            
        Request mRqRequest = new Request(
        Uri.parse("http://"+model.getDownloadURL()));
        long idDownLoad=mManager.enqueue(mRqRequest);
        DownloadManager.Query query = null;
        query = new DownloadManager.Query();
        Cursor c = null;
        if(query!=null) {
            query.setFilterByStatus(DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED|DownloadManager.STATUS_PAUSED|DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL|DownloadManager.STATUS_RUNNING|DownloadManager.STATUS_PENDING);                                         
        } else {
            return flag;
        }

        while (downloading) {
            c = mManager.query(query);
            if(c.moveToFirst()) { 
                Log.i ("FLAG","Downloading");
                int status =c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)); 

                if (status==DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL) {
                    Log.i ("FLAG","done");
                    downloading = false;
                    flag=true;
                    break;      
                }
                if (status==DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED) {
                    Log.i ("FLAG","Fail");
                    downloading = false;
                    flag=false;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        return flag;
    }catch (Exception e) {
        flag = false;
        return flag;
    }    
}

There's no need for the AsyncTask or the synchronous query. DownloadManager is already asynchronous. You should register a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE so that you get notified when the download completes (or fails).

There's a very good example at http://blog.vogella.com/2011/06/14/android-downloadmanager-example

Download Manager download files in asynchronous manner. So no need to put download manager inside an Asyntask.

You can use Receiver for get the status of download manager if download complete.

    public class CheckDownloadComplete extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

         String action = intent.getAction();
            if (action.equals(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE)) 
            {
                DownloadManager.Query query = new DownloadManager.Query();
                query.setFilterById(intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, 0));
                DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                Cursor cursor = manager.query(query);
                if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                    if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {

                        int status = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS));
                        Long download_id = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID,0);

                        // status contain Download Status
                        // download_id contain current download reference id

                        if (status == DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL)
                        {
                            String file = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));

                            //file contains downloaded file name

                            // do your stuff here on download success

                        } 
                    }
                }
                cursor.close();
            }   
    }
}

Dont forget to add your receiver in Manifest

  <receiver
        android:name=".CheckDownloadComplete"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Hello, I know it's an old post but I was wondering why in CheckDownloadComplete do you check if the action is equal to ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE although it's already in the Manifest? Can you drop the check in the class ? – Waive
