Is there a way to do that ?

I've a bunch of services that work well with HttpUrlConnection, but i cannot use the DownloadManager for getting some files from that server, it works only in http without ssl. The application runs on API 17+

I would use DownloadManager for semplicity, but i have no idea how to do it. I have to use HttpUrlConnection ?

Thank you

If is to download files like json or xml you need to used Retrofit Library. – lopez.mikhael Oct 08 '15 at 07:36
I'll take a look at that library thank you, but files are Excel and Word and so on – marco Oct 08 '15 at 07:38

In that case, you can forget Retrofit and you you can watch this library : https://github.com/koush/ion#download-a-file-with-a-progress-bar – lopez.mikhael Oct 08 '15 at 07:48
very useful thank you, but it's a workaround :) – marco Oct 11 '15 at 19:33
