I would like to download a pdf file from my android application. I want to download it using jsoup because I have to post username, password and cookies, so I have done it with jsoup. I have check the site adn saw that I have to connect at the login page and post: username,password,cookie and a variable next with the internal link of the pdf file. I have done it with jsoup but now I don't know how to download this file at my android device. I prefer, if it's possible, when it will download to appear on the notification bar of my device.
Thank you in advance!

I'm working on a project. There is a website coded in asp.net and database is SQL. and there is a mobile app connect to this site.in app it used JSON and no db codes. I added new tables to this site and I want to configure it from android studio. I'm new to JSON so I can't config the database from android studio. And I want to know what is a .ashx file is? I can't add code snips due to privacy policy in company. Thank you very much!
.ashx file details:
A file with the ASHX file extension is an ASP.NET Web Handler file that often holds references to other web pages used in an ASP.NET web server application.
The functions in the ASHX file are written in the C# programming language, and sometimes the references are so short that an ASHX file may end up just being a single line of code.
Most people only encounter ASHX files by accident when they try to download a file from a website, like a PDF file. This is because the ASHX file references the PDF file to send it to the browser for download but doesn't name it correctly, attaching .ASHX at the end instead of .PDF.

And as far as I think for accessing JSON in the android studio you can look into volley.

In my application, after clicking export icon, the report excel has been downloaded/generated in our local download folder in the system. I have tried to validate this action using service side (API)-postman. When I hit the export api (Application specific) , the response has not contain any path/file name that downloaded in the downloads folder. Is there any way that we can hit the downloads folder using api or any java programming way to get the downloaded excel.
I just want to read the excel data and compare with my input data using postman. First priority that I need to do it using api.
Select "Send and download" action in Postman. According to manual here:
If your API endpoint returns an image, Postman will detect and render
it automatically. For binary response types, you should select “Send
and download” which will let you save the response to your hard disk.
You can then view it using the appropriate viewer. This gives you the
flexibility to test audio files, PDFs, zip files, or anything that the
API throws at you.
I'm trying to cache PDF files on the user's device and open them within my app at a later time.
With this package: https://github.com/barteksc/AndroidPdfViewer
I use pdfView.fromUri(uri) which loads the file from the URL every time the page is loaded.
Is there a function I can use to cache these files for offline viewing?
Download the PDF yourself, using your favorite HTTP client API. Then, use fromFile() rather than fromUri().
I'm trying to develop an Android app that can access a website's video files and download them. My code works well with public websites but I'm trying to figure out the url I could use for a website on my localhost.
My friend developed a simple site which I can upload video files. The videos are uploaded to the projects ".Web\Assets\Videos" directory. But I'm having trouble determining the url for the localhosted video files.
http://192.168.1.23:11124/Assets/Videos/video1.mp4
file:///192.168.1.23:11124/Assets/Videos/video1.mp4
Both dont seem to work. Any ideas?
I want to try creating a program that can automate the storing of web address that is available on every downloaded file on a web browser.
My problem is I don't know where to start.
What am I planning to do is just save all the downloaded file's web addresses in a excel file.
Sample image using google chrome
I think Firefox stores the download history in the places.sqlite file in your Profile folder. You would need to open and read that file, but you probably can't while Firefox is open (it has the file open).
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
From there, you can process the data in your Java app and then write an Excel file, perhaps using Apache POI (the Java API for Microsoft Documents)
https://poi.apache.org/
Where and how, download history is stored varies from browser to browser . In case of Chrome on Mac it is store in the path
~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/DownloadMetadata
as SQLite format.
You need to write an application to parse the data and create xls
