Enable Download In Inappbrowser - Phonegap / Cordova

I'm using cordova 3.5-0.26 & inAppBrowser 0.5.0 Now I'm loading an external page in inAppBrowser. There is a download button. When I press the download it doesn't do anything.

Solution 1:

InAppBrowser doesn't allow download. You will need to modify plugin to allow it for downloading.

For android, inside platforms\android\src\org\apache\cordova\inappbrowser

method name private void navigate(String url) {

include

this.inAppWebView.setDownloadListener(newDownloadListener() {
                    publicvoidonDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
                            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
                            long contentLength) {
                      Intent i = newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                      i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                      cordova.getActivity().startActivity(i);
                    }
                });

before this line this.inAppWebView.requestFocus();

again same code in the method public void run() {

after this segment

if (clearAllCache) {
                CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookie();
            } else if (clearSessionCache) {
                CookieManager.getInstance().removeSessionCookie();
            }

            inAppWebView.loadUrl(url);

in your .java file inside onCreate

appView.setDownloadListener(newDownloadListener() {
                    publicvoidonDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
                            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
                            long contentLength) {
                      Intent i = newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                      i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                      startActivity(i);
                    }
                });

Don't know about iOS
