Thanks @altaf2892. Did you try this using the demo? If so, I would recommend checking using Stetho open a tab in Chrome and use chrome://inspect/#devices, this will allow you to access the db on the device. You can use this to check whether the path is what you expect. I'd then use adb shell if possible to confirm.

It shouldn't have any issues storing the paths as you want, we append a batch identifier to each path and a file identifier. Let me know what the above shows when you have taken a look.

is this lib actually support to save to external path ?

` private void downloadFile(String url, String name, final MessageData messageData) { /* String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + File.separator + "app_Name";

*/ Log.e("CHECK", url + "-" + name); Batch batch = Batch.with(new StorageRoot() { @Override public String path() { return MyApplication.getInstance().getPath(getApplicationContext()); } }, DownloadBatchIdCreator.createSanitizedFrom(messageData.getMessage_id()), name) .downloadFrom(url).withIdentifier(DownloadFileIdCreator.createFrom(messageData.getMessage_id())).apply().build(); manager.download(batch);

    manager.addDownloadBatchCallback(new DownloadBatchStatusCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onUpdate(DownloadBatchStatus downloadBatchStatus) {
            Log.e("CHECK", downloadBatchStatus.storageRoot() + ".");
            switch (downloadBatchStatus.status()) {
                case DOWNLOADED:
                    hashMap.put(downloadBatchStatus.getDownloadBatchId().rawId(), "COMPLETED");
                    chatAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    break;
                case DOWNLOADING:
                    hashMap.put(downloadBatchStatus.getDownloadBatchId().rawId(), "DOWNLOADING");
                    chatAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    break;
                case ERROR:
                    hashMap.put(downloadBatchStatus.getDownloadBatchId().rawId(), "ERROR");
                    chatAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    break;
                case QUEUED:
                    hashMap.put(downloadBatchStatus.getDownloadBatchId().rawId(), "ERROR");
                    chatAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    break;
                case UNKNOWN:
                    break;
                case DELETED:
                    break;
            }

        }
    });

}

Above filewill be stored in package folder like this /data/user/0/pkg/files/appname/176/d0340f19-2d26-4fab-9cdf-4e3002b2af5e.pdf and i want file to be stored here Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + File.separator + "app_Name";

@altaf2892 I think you are confusing some things here. It is not the responsibility of this library to request any necessary permissions required to store to a given directory. If you are storing to this particular apps storage directory then you have that implicitly as the caller. IF you need to store elsewhere then it is the responsibility of the client to gain the appropriate permissions and then pass the storage directory to the download-manager. We would not presume to grant access to external storage for every client of this library, they may not require it.

[altaf2892]

no u getting me wrong ,i am already handling permission i just want to save file at my desired location that's it..

[Mecharyry]

ok, fair enough. I'm not sure what this is doing as it is hidden in your application:

Batch batch = Batch.with(new StorageRoot() {
@override
public String path() {
return MyApplication.getInstance().getPath(getApplicationContext());
}

But this should be Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + File.separator + "app_Name"; as it is the root that you desire. I've done the same in the demo application and I can see:

If it is still failing for you then can you tell me what you see in the logs / in the UI?

Hi @altaf2892 just wanted to check in and see if this resolved your issue?

[altaf2892]
