Android Browser Download Manager

Can I use android build-in browser download manager to download files in my application? In case of audio files, opening remote file url using Intent.ACTION_VIEW with data type 'a

Solution 1:

The download manager is not part of the public SDK. You are welcome to download files from URLs via HttpURLConnection or HttpClient, both part of the Android SDK.

Solution 2:

I am wondering exactly the same. It seems like a waste of time to write a service which handles download/resume/checking connection etc, when I just want to say downloadFile(URL myURL). Is there anything that could be re-used? Android Market also has a downloader...

Can some one tell what is this? If download Manager isnt a part of SDK.

Seems to me like a complete download manager. I will try this soon.
