A download of…what?
If you are downloading via your own code (
HttpUrlConnectionorHttpClient), you know when the download is complete.If you are using
WebViewand want to know when the page is loaded, you can use aWebViewClientto be notified of that event.If the user is using the Browser application or a third-party browser, you cannot “be notified when a download finishes” in general. If you are set up to be a handler of that MIME type, and if the user chooses to open the file in your
ACTION_VIEWactivity, then you will be “notified” by your activity starting up.
