4. Choose “Empty Project” and Click Next button
5. Lastly, press finish button.
Add permissions
Open your AndroidManifest.xml file, adding the internet, read and write external permissions outside the application level so u can access those feature in the application.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Create a new xml item
Res> layout > right click > new > layout resource file and name the resource to down_load_task_item.xml. This layout is to show the downloaded item in the application.
Edit down_load_task_item.xml layout
Go to down_load_task_item and change your source code to the source code that i provided in the below section.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/downid"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/title"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/status"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/address"/>
</LinearLayout>
Edit activity_main.xml layout
After that, navigate to your activity_main.xml to edit the main page layout of your android application. It will have 4 basic buttons to perform different actions which are Download, Delete, Download with display progress and Display Downloaded file. The source code will be…
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnDown"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Download" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnDelete"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Delete" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnDProgress"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Download (display progress)" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btndisplay"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Display All" />
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/downProgress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"/>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/mylist"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
Create a Broadcastreceiver
Java > right click your package name and create a new java class and name it to DownloadCompleteReceiver after that copy and paste the following source code below.
import android.app.DownloadManager;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;
/**
* Created by HP on 16/9/2016.
*/
class DownLoadCompleteReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private MainActivity mainActivity;
public DownLoadCompleteReceiver(MainActivity mainActivity) {
this.mainActivity = mainActivity;
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE)) {
long id = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, -1);
Toast.makeText(mainActivity, "Completed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(DownloadManager.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_CLICKED)) {
Toast.makeText(mainActivity, "Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}

Edit MainActivity.java class
Navigate to your mainActivity.java class and paste the following source code. In this application will download the mp3 file from the url.
