Android: best way to upload/download number of files in background

Question

I have recently developed an iPhone application which involves media (Images, Audio and video) sync. operation with my web server.

I have used ASIHTTPRequest in my iOS application for simultaneous uploading and downloading and do some work in every request finished and failed methods as ASIHTTPRequest provides these methods.

- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
- (void)requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request

Is there any similar library for android. That allow me to upload/download in queue and update me after every successful or failure of request?

this is the best library of ios – Dixit Patel Jan 14 '13 at 07:47 — Dixit Patel, Jan 14 '13 at 07:47

For downloads part, DownloadManager can be useful . Alas!, no such thing for uploads (yet). To have IOS like functionality, you'd need to write a custom background service.

Its strange, there is no library for both operations so far – Irfan DANISH Jan 14 '13 at 09:57
@IrfanDANISH I too wonder, given its all java, the popularity, and n number of frameworks around, no one had yet extended API in meaningful ways. But I see an interesting library project. – S.D. Jan 14 '13 at 10:02
@IrfanDANISH just thinking of writing one. – S.D. Jan 14 '13 at 10:18
