General :: Android - How To Directly Download A File Without Opening Browser

Dec 28, 2011

I am using APP Inventor, but it put my question as general from Android. How can i directly download a file from WEB without the browser try to open it.

I i put a url like: privatesite.blablabla/image.jpg

He will put the image in the browser, because browser can load the file and show it on screen, but i want to download it without reading it.

I need that to put inside App inventor, but if it's possible to do it in HTML or other, that's ok, i think i can make app inventor run an external application.

Android :: 2.2 - Opening SWF File In Browser Through Code

Jul 5, 2010

I have a swf file on the sdcard and I wrote a html file flash.html with the swf file embeded. The only way to open it now is:
1) open the browser
2) type in file:///sdcard/flash.html The swf runs fine.

But if use the code list below:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent); It shows the error: The application has stopped unexpectly.

I also tried the following code using:
WebView: WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.list_web);
browser.loadUrl("file:///sdcard/flash.html");

The Webview showed up, but the area should start the swf is empty. So is there a way to open the html through code? I also think if there is a way to open the android browser using ACTION_VIEW by a simple html then reset the URL to be "file:///sdcard/ flash.html" through code?

Android :: Opening Local HTML File Via Browser Intent

Aug 31, 2009

My open source application needs to browse local HTML files on the SD card, and WebView is not enough because I need history and bookmarks. I wrote the following code. It correctly opens the browser, but fails to reach catalog.html and in fact it just opens whatever page was last browsed:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/ myapp/catalog.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setData(uri); intent.setClassName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"); startActivity(intent);

Android :: Register File Type With Browser - Cannot Download?

Jun 13, 2010

In Android, I am trying to make it so that the user downloads a font from the browser and I am able to view the font when downloaded. After multiple issues, I still have one lingering one: Registering the file type with the browser. When trying to download with the Emulator (2.1-u1), I get "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". Okay, so maybe its my manifest file. Updated with this:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="MainActivity">
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<catagory android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:scheme="http"/> <data android:scheme="https"/>
<data android:scheme="ftp"/> <data android:host="*"/>
<data android:mimeType="*/*"/> <data android:pathPattern=".*zip"/>
</intent-filter> </activity>

Went back to the browser, and fails again. Restart the Emulator, still fails. Note that I got this format from posts here.

Android : Opening A Url In The Phone's Default Browser

Jul 8, 2010

I'm trying to make test-program that opens a website by pushing a button. I have made a listener and everything, my problem is just that, the url-opening-script makes an error and tells me "Uri cannot be resolved".

Here's the script I use to open up an webpage:

CODE:..........................

I have the import android.app.Activity;, import android.content.Intent; and import android.content.ContentUris; (maybe the last one isn't needed) so I can't find out what's wrong...

I hope someone knows what I've done wrong, or forgot to import...

I've used this pages to get to where I am:

General :: Delete Android OS Browser (Download) History?

Oct 16, 2011

Is there a faster way to delete the Download History on Android phones; instead of having to click each and every item in the history? Every thread I find dealing with deleting the Download History, has to do with deleting the normal browser history, not the Download History.

So is there an easier way? Because I just spent 10 minutes deleting each and every item in my Download History and there has to be an easier way of doing this.
