The extension should / must declare WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the Manifest for maxSdkVersion=29, because if you do not want to download into the ASD, this permission must be requested on Android < 11.

In addition, storage permissions are also required for the ASD on Android < 4.4 (API 19, KitKat).
And the minSdkVersion is 7 (Android 2.1, Eclair) for AI2.

I hope this is the last time you post this extension. This is your third topic about it.

I'm testing this extension and it is working fine, good job!, just one minor problem, the download speed is extremely slow compared with another download manager, for instance:

Is there anything that can be done to check what could be the cause?

How to get the value of ongoing download?

If the download happens again then only the id value changes.

What if we needed to identify the download?

How to get the value of ongoing download?

There are methods for it in the event.

@HarshVardhanSolanki

What if we needed to identify the download?

What do you want to identify about the download? Mimetype?

[HarshVardhanSolanki]

@AyProductions

See, you have to be descriptive and precise about what values you want to get, do you want all the values, like speed, bytes, progress, etc? You can do that with the blocks built-in. you can use loops for that purpose. You can go through each of the download IDs and then get the value as per your needs. The exact answer cannot be told if you are not descriptive enough.
