Webview Application Download doesnt work

Question

In my website there are some downloadable contents. I have created a webview application out of that website using android studio. In my application when i click those downloadable contents nothing happens, it doesn't get downloaded. but if I use that website from moblile's browser it gets downloaded. Then What is the problem with my android application ?

`What is the problem with my android application` you likely did not implement download functionality. WebView can't download from scratch. — Vladyslav Matviienko, Jun 01 '18 at 06:06

Have you tried this

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);
}
});
