How Can I Make Download Manager Overwrite An Exisiting File Instead Of Renaming The File In Android

I have a database file which is on the sdcard and now when a new database file is downloaded i need it to overwrite the old one instead of renaming it here is my downloading code.

Solution 1:

when you're submitting the file to the download manager check if the file already exists. then delete it.

private boolean isFileExists(String filename){

    File folder1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + filename);
    return folder1.exists();


}

private boolean deleteFile( String filename){

    File folder1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + filename);
    return folder1.delete();


}
