Downloading PDF files in internal storage

Question

I'm making the task of Android.

I download the file from URL and save in internal storage/directory of android phone? my code is written below but this is external storage code I want internal storage code.

 public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(Computer.this,"Please Wait until the file is download",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                    Uri uri = Uri.parse("url");
                    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
                    request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
                    request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false);
                    request.setTitle("" + "filename" + ".pdf");
                    request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(true);
                    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
                    Long reference = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
                    request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, "/"+ "filename");
                    refid = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
                    Log.e("OUT", "" + refid);

That is external storage code but I want to save in internal storage of Android phone.

You cannot use DownloadManager to download directly to your app's portion of internal storage. You will need to use OkHttp or some other in-process HTTP client API.

You can use this:

request.setDestinationUri(Uri.fromFile(new File(context.getCacheDir(),"filename.txt")));

You can simple just delete this line, request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir()

By default, downloads are saved to a generated filename in the shared download cache
