Installation

FileDownloader is installed by adding the following dependency to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.liulishuo.filedownloader:library:1.7.7'
}

Snapshots of the development version are available in Sonatype's snapshots repository, you can include on your gradle project through:

repositories {
    maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
}

Open customize component

From now on, FileDownloader support following components to be customized by yourself:

Name Interface Default Impl
Connection FileDownloadConnection FileDownloadUrlConnection
OutputStream FileDownloadOutputStream FileDownloadRandomAccessFile
Database FileDownloadDatabase RemitDatabase
ConnectionCountAdapter ConnectionCountAdapter DefaultConnectionCountAdapter
IdGenerator IdGenerator DefaultIdGenerator
ForegroundServiceConfig ForegroundServiceConfig ForegroundServiceConfig
  • If you want to use okhttp as your connection component, the simplest way is this repo.
  • If you don't want to use any database on FileDownloader(the database on FileDownloader is used for persist tasks' breakpoint info) just using NoDatabaseImpl.java
