Downloading multiple files one by one using AsyncTask?

Question

I\'m trying to download multiple files one by one (file is downloaded, we start downloading the next file). Using this method I can keep track of the files being downloaded.

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you do not want to download all the files at the same tim e(simultaneously) but one by one (serially). In order to do so build a String array with the URLs to download, and call execute() with that array.

Example: Assuming that your DownloadFileAsync expects String as a parameter to it's doInBackground method, you would call to:

new DownloadFileAsync().execute(url1, url2, url3, url4, video1, video2, video3, video4);
