I have a web service that stores the files at http://.mysite.com/content/videos Now all I want to achieve in my android application is to download every videos that user can upload on this server, so i can get a json file from the server to see how many videos are stored and to download the all list locally and than to play it on a loop. Please give me some code examples and ideas to. The idea is building a Signage android client.

For getting JSON from URL, see my answer here.

After that You can use this library for downloading videos. You can also download them serial (one by one) or parallel.

Usage: Initialize the downloader in Application class:

public XXApplication extends Application{

   @Override
   public void onCreate() {
      super.onCreate();
      FileDownloader.init(this);
   }
}

Then download like this.

final FileDownloadListener queueTarget = new FileDownloadListener() {
        @Override
        protected void pending(BaseDownloadTask task, int soFarBytes, int totalBytes) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void connected(BaseDownloadTask task, String etag, boolean isContinue, int soFarBytes, int totalBytes) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void progress(BaseDownloadTask task, int soFarBytes, int totalBytes) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void blockComplete(BaseDownloadTask task) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void retry(final BaseDownloadTask task, final Throwable ex, final int retryingTimes, final int soFarBytes) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void completed(BaseDownloadTask task) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void paused(BaseDownloadTask task, int soFarBytes, int totalBytes) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void error(BaseDownloadTask task, Throwable e) {
        }

        @Override
        protected void warn(BaseDownloadTask task) {
        }
    };


for (String url : URLS) {
   FileDownloader.getImpl().create(url)
       .setCallbackProgressTimes(0) 
       .setListener(queueTarget)
       .ready();
}

if(serial){ 
   FileDownloader.getImpl().start(queueTarget, true);
 }
