I want to download files (files will .mp4 and .pdf) and save them locally that only my application can access.

Any solutions?

P.S.-> Saving in data/data can be accessed via Data Explorer from Android studio? Just a question for knowledge.

For reference: As youtube videos gets downloaded and can be viewed in app only.

How what? to download? to store them locally? you'll paste the url on app and the file will be downloaded? – Shermano Aug 08 '19 at 17:03
@Shermano Have you understood the question? What it says? Why should I store on firebase if I can it in device in any other way? – Vir Rajpurohit Aug 08 '19 at 17:05

Download to [internal storage](https://commonsware.com/blog/2017/11/13/storage-situation-internal-storage.html) (`getFilesDir()` or `getCacheDir()`). Exactly *how* to download them depends a lot on where they are. For example, you have a public URL, [use OkHttp](https://stackoverflow.com/a/29012988/115145). – CommonsWare Aug 08 '19 at 17:15
@CommonsWare But this needs to be encrypted while storing. Right? – Vir Rajpurohit Aug 09 '19 at 07:07
No. Why would it? – CommonsWare Aug 09 '19 at 10:59
I am not pretty sure, but Is data/data folder can be accessible in any way like pluging the device in android studio? – Vir Rajpurohit Aug 09 '19 at 11:30
@CommonsWare Can you guide on above? – Vir Rajpurohit Aug 12 '19 at 05:52
Until the build is in debug mode.-> Is this the answer you deleted just now?@CommonsWare – Vir Rajpurohit Aug 12 '19 at 11:52
