I have been following a tutorial in the above ur
You make sure external storage access is permitted by user for your app. Include this code for the download
DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url_string);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(true); request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
// include this line if permission has been granted by user to external directory
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, uri.getLastPathSegment());
// or this line if not yet granted
request.setDestinationUri(Uri.parse("file://" + uri.getLastPathSegment());
Long reference = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
