Let someone else manage your downloads!

The DownloadManager

The download manager was introduced in Android 2.3 (API level 9).

It’s a System Service that optimises the handling of long-running downloads in the background.

The download manager handles HTTP connections, monitors connectivity changes, reboots, and ensures each download completes successfully

Its good practice to use the download manager for most downloads, especially if the download continues between user sessions or if success is important.
