Android Webview Not Triggering A Href Download File

I have added the Download Manager , but it is not triggering the download event , can any body help . When user goes to webview download option and click a link to download a file

Solution 1:

Finally after searching lot and reading here about permission in Marshmallow API 23 >= , we need to give permission in run time . I solved my problem with this code ,

Oncreate method in MainActivity

int permissionCheck = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    if (permissionCheck != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        //requesting permission
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
    } else {
        Log.i(TAG , "Permission Granted");
    }

and Overriding this Method

@OverridepublicvoidonRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    if(grantResults[0]== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        //you have the permission now.
            Log.i(TAG , "Permission Already Granted");
    }


}

Solution 2:

add these two lines in your mainfest file

<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Solution 3:

Can you show the line in the html (the link from where you download) like:

<ahref='something'></a>

or do you use js to trigger it?

Because if you want you can use this:

Example

Download file when clicking on the link (instead of navigating to the file):

<a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" download>

see this link for more info

UPDATE

add this to your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
