Download file inside WebView
mwebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener()
{
@Override
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
String contentDisposition, String mimeType,
long contentLength) {
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(
Uri.parse(url));
request.setMimeType(mimeType);
String cookies = CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie(url);
request.addRequestHeader("cookie", cookies);
request.addRequestHeader("User-Agent", userAgent);
request.setDescription("Downloading file...");
request.setTitle(URLUtil.guessFileName(url, contentDisposition,
mimeType));
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, URLUtil.guessFileName(
url, contentDisposition, mimeType));
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(request);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Downloading File",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}});
Have you tried?
mWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
long contentLength) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
}
});

Try this out. After going through a lot of posts and forums, I found this.
mWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
@Override
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
long contentLength) {
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(
Uri.parse(url));
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED); //Notify client once download is completed!
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "Name of your downloadble file goes here, example: Mathematics II ");
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(request);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Downloading File", //To notify the Client that the file is being downloaded
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
Do not forget to give this permission! This is very important! Add this in your Manifest file(The AndroidManifest.xml file)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <!-- for your file, say a pdf to work -->
Hope this helps. Cheers :)
Try using download manager, which can help you download everything you want and save you time.
Check those to options:
Option 1 ->
mWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
long contentLength) {
Request request = new Request(
Uri.parse(url));
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "download");
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(request);
}
});
Option 2 ->
if(mWebview.getUrl().contains(".mp3") {
Request request = new Request(
Uri.parse(url));
request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "download");
// You can change the name of the downloads, by changing "download" to everything you want, such as the mWebview title...
DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(request);
}
