Please some one let me know how to implement this. I browsed on net but didn't find exact solution Can i implement this using download manager or services? Sharing any piece of code or links will be helpful

Answer 1

=> I think you can go with service to download. as the service needs no UI it will run on background. Services

=> to start your download while WIFI in turned ON; then you can use the help of broadcast receivers Broadcast Receiver

some sample codes:

to Manifest

<receiver android:name="com.AEDesign.communication.WifiReceiver" >
   <intent-filter android:priority="100">
      <action android:name="android.net.wifi.STATE_CHANGE" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

to BroadcastReceiver Class

public class WifiReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

   @Override
   public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

      NetworkInfo info = intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
      if(info != null) {
         if(info.isConnected()) {

            //  start your service to download! use your service to download file. 



         }
      }
   }
}
