Proper way to download mutilple files from server in android

I want to download multiple apk files from server using background service but confused about implementation

What could be the proper way to do that? Should I create a service and download these apks using downloadmanager or should I use service with libs like volley or asyncHttpClient to download apks?

and one more thing that i want is, every 1 hr i want to check for any new apks are available on server

Should i use handler that post every 1hr or should use alarm manager to do that

please help

The simplest way to download the files is to use DownloadManager, if it fits your needs.

For the second problem you shouldn't use handler, as your app may be killed by the system. So, use AlarmManager, but note, that after reboot all alarms are cleared.
