1. Download Files – Download Files from Server Url.

2. Save Files – Create Folder in device and save the dowloaded files.

3. Download Multiple Files – Download Many Files at a time.

1. Create a new project in Android Studio by navigating to File ⇒ New Android ⇒ Application Project and fill required details. By default my activity is MainActivity.java.

2. Open res=>values=strings.xml and add the following strings to it.

3. Create a xml layout naming activity_main.xml and add the following code. In this layout there are some Buttons for showing downloading different type of files.

4. Create a Utils.java class and write all download urls here.

5. Create a CheckForSDCard.java class for checking if SDCard is present or not.

6. Now create a DownloadTask.java and add the following code. In this code AsyncTask is used for downloading data from server. There are several main steps in doInBackground(Void…arg0) that are listed below :

1. Converting download url into URL:

2. Opening Url Connection for data downloading:

Full Code of DownloadTask.java

7. Now create MainActivity.java and add the following code. In this code i am starting AsyncTask on button click.
But before downloading it is necessary there should be a proper internet connection. So for this I had created a method naming isInternetConnected() that will return true or false.
