How do I access the local file name in the download receiver?
I’m trying to get the file path
to the downloaded file, I provided a valid sink, but how do I get the filename/path?
onReceive internally
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
DownloadManager.Query q = new DownloadManager.Query();
Cursor c = this.query(q); how to get access to this since there is no instance of DownloadManager
try {
String filePath = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));
Log.i("DOWNLOAD LISTENER", filePath);
} catch(Exception e) {
} finally {
c.close();
}
}
Cannot resolve method query(…)
Solution
You can get the DownloadManager
instance through the getSystemService()
method of the context
.
Something like this should work:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
get the DownloadManager instance
DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Query q = new DownloadManager.Query();
Cursor c = manager.query(q);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));
Log.i("DOWNLOAD LISTENER", "file name: " + name);
} while (c.moveToNext());
} else {
Log.i("DOWNLOAD LISTENER", "empty cursor :(");
}
c.close();
}
}
