How to find the file downloaded by web browser in Android

Question

I am using this code to download a file from my Activity. It downloads the file correctly on emulator and shows the downloading in notification too. But when i click on notification it just goes off.

String url = "http://developer.android.com/shareables/training/ActivityLifecycle.zip";
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                Uri u = Uri.parse(url);
                intent.setData(u);
                startActivity(intent);

I need to store the path of this downloaded file.

Thanks in advance...:)

I think the locations of files downloaded by web browser is left to web browser discretion (no obligation to publish it). So I think the best you can do is changing your strategy :

• first download the file. This question explain how to do it : Download a file with Android, and showing the progress in a ProgressDialog

• then launch your ACTION_VIEW intent, but pass the uri of the just downloaded file instead of the external url
