download manager downloading files in application package

Question

I have created a webview and added download listener to it. When I download a file in app, it is storing the file in application package instead of the public downloads folder.

I have a doubt that this is due the fragment I used or the line (request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,"test.jpg");). Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        //you can set the title for your toolbar here for different fragments different titles
        getActivity().setTitle("Home");
    }

Try below code:

request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, fileName);

Here request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir will download your file in Public Directory and Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS is directory name. It will put your file in Downloads folder. If you wish to download your file in specific folder then you can give directory path instead of Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS
