Can We Open Download Folder Via. Intent?

Actually, I need to open the default Download folder from my application. Is it possible? If yes, then please provide some reference. I am able to get the path of Download folder w

Solution 1:

You can show the recent downloads activity with the following Intent

startActivity(new Intent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS));

Available since API 9

Solution 2:

Samsung solution:

publicstaticvoidopenDownloads(@NonNull Activity activity) {
    if (isSamsung()) {
        Intent intent = activity.getPackageManager()
                .getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.sec.android.app.myfiles");
        intent.setAction("samsung.myfiles.intent.action.LAUNCH_MY_FILES");
        intent.putExtra("samsung.myfiles.intent.extra.START_PATH", 
                getDownloadsFile().getPath());
        activity.startActivity(intent);
    }
    else activity.startActivity(newIntent(DownloadManager.ACTION_VIEW_DOWNLOADS));
}

publicstaticbooleanisSamsung() {
    String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
    if (manufacturer != null) return manufacturer.toLowerCase().equals("samsung");
    returnfalse;
}

publicstaticFilegetDownloadsFile() {
    returnEnvironment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);
}

Found by decompiling the Samsung My Files app dex and seeing how the MainActivity deals with intents.

publicstaticfinalStringMYFILES_NOTIFICATION_LAUNCH_INTENT_NAME="samsung.myfiles.intent.action.LAUNCH_MY_FILES";
publicstaticfinalStringNOTIFICATION_START_PATH="samsung.myfiles.intent.extra.START_PATH";
publicstaticfinalStringSTART_PATH="FOLDERPATH";

if (Constant.MYFILES_NOTIFICATION_LAUNCH_INTENT_NAME.equals(intent.getAction())) {
                StringstartNotificationPath= intent.getStringExtra(Constant.NOTIFICATION_START_PATH);
                if (startNotificationPath != null) {
                    BundlenewArgument=newBundle();
                    newArgument.putString(Constant.START_PATH, startNotificationPath);
                    if (newFile(startNotificationPath).exists()) {
                        startBrowser(513, newArgument);
                    }
                }
                intent.removeExtra(Constant.NOTIFICATION_START_PATH);
            }

Solution 3:

I had similar problem showing files in Downloads in Samsung and LG and i just added file-parameter "downloaded" for DownloadManager and file showing in Downloads:

DownloadManagerdownloadManager= (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
        downloadManager.addCompletedDownload(file.getName(), file.getName(), true,
                "application", file.getPath(), file.length(), true);
