Anke · January 22, 2021, 10:58am

Yeah, but why don't you just try?

Sorry not enough time can someone test never think bad

@Anke Cool Download to ASD extension. What type of apps would require this?

@Anke Edit: What type of app would need this extension to download to the app's directory?
I'm new to this, so I'm just asking.

Anke · January 25, 2021, 5:35pm

What do you mean by that?

hawkeyexxi · April 16, 2021, 2:55pm

How can I retrieve the file I downloaded to put it in a videoplayer?

Anke · April 16, 2021, 3:19pm

hawkeyexxi · April 16, 2021, 7:17pm

I saw that but it gives error 701 in my code

hawkeyexxi · April 16, 2021, 7:22pm

I have those.I skipped the global count because player will download it only once

I believe you are missing a / in your code

KevinWang · April 22, 2021, 4:30am

Thanks for this wonderful extension.
One question:
every time when downloadcompleted, this message will show up, telling me some file is downloaded.
Howe to disable this?

Anke · April 22, 2021, 5:57am

I didn't get that message as you can see here.
(please translate the message)

KevinWang · April 22, 2021, 6:05am

OK no problem. Maybe its only on some devices.

or is it because this?

// Makes download visible in notifications while downloading, but disappears after download completes. Optional.
        mRequest.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE);

Hi!

So, can anything be done about the "file downloaded" notification?

Anke · August 24, 2021, 7:49am

Does that mean you don't want the notification to appear?

anonwins · August 24, 2021, 7:53am

Yes. It also makes a sound.

Anke · August 24, 2021, 8:00am

Try this version of my extension:

Note: You have to add this line to the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />

anonwins · August 24, 2021, 8:35am

The app doesn't build with this extension

In other news, here is an extension that just adds the permission in the manifest.

tsf.download-without-notification-permission.aix (3.9 KB)

I imported this version of the my extension (DownloadToASD_notifHidden.aix) from Kodular to AI2, built the APK (no issues!) and add this line in the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />

I tested it on an Android 11 device:
It works and no notification apears.
So check it on your device.

Anke · August 24, 2021, 10:33am

@anonwins This permission is now declared in the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />

with the new version of my extension:
DownloadToASD_notifHidden2.aix (7.6 KB)

Note: Use this version of the extension only if you don't want a notification while / after downloading.

anonwins · August 25, 2021, 7:35am

I imported the extension in another project and it works indeed. So I guess there's some kind of incompatibility with the extensions in the project. I'll check more into it
