Download File inside WebView

I have a WebView on my screen:

webDownloadTicket = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webViewToDownload);
webDownloadTicket.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webDownloadTicket.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false;
    }
});
      // and load url
webDownloadTicket.loadUrl("xxx.com/TicketWEB/download.jsp");
      // setup for download listener
webDownloadTicket.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
    public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
            long contentLength) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(intent);

    }
});

I was testing with browser, going to this URL
and then press the download button, it will download a JSON file.

But when I test on my Android app with that code, it can load the web page but can not download anything when I press download button.

The most common answer for not being able to access network from an app is a missing permission-declaration in AndroidManifest.xml. Check the file for this line and add it if it’s not there:

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