Proper Way To Separate Class - Download Manager

Question

Can I separate DownloadManager in a separate class? I want to reused it in my several class. In Volley we can make a class extending StringRequest or ImageRequest.

For example:

public class VolleyStringRequest extends StringRequest{

public VolleyStringRequest(Response.Listenter<String> listener, 
                           Response.ErrorListener errorListener)
    {
        super(Method.POST, " " , listener, errorListener);



    } }

I came across with this link. All of it is directly declare. How can I achieve this in a separate class by extends DownloadManager?

DownloadManager dm= (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://www.google.com.tw/images/srpr/logo4w.png"));
dm.enqueue(request);

DownloadManager dm= (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse("https://www.google.com.tw/images/srpr/logo4w.png"));
dm.enqueue(request);

wrap following downloadThroughManager(String imageUrl, Context context) method in class, so that you can use it in several places in your project.

 public static void downloadThroughManager(String imageUrl, Context context) {


                    File path = new File(imageUrl);
                    String fileName = path.getName();
                    final DownloadManager downloadManager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                    Uri uri = Uri.parse(imageUrl);
                    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
                    request.setTitle(fileName);
                    request.setDescription(fileName);
                    request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(true);
                    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);

                    request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, fileName);
                    long ref = downloadManager.enqueue(request);

                   IntentFilter filter = new   IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE);




        final BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                long downloadReference = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, -1);
                Log.i("GenerateTurePDfAsync", "Download completed");


                DownloadManager.Query query = new DownloadManager.Query();
                query.setFilterById(downloadReference);

                Cursor cur = downloadManager.query(query);

                if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
                    int columnIndex = cur.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS);



                    if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == cur.getInt(columnIndex)) {
                        String uriString = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI));

                        Toast.makeText(context, "File has been downloaded successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


                    } else if (DownloadManager.STATUS_FAILED == cur.getInt(columnIndex)) {
                        int columnReason = cur.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_REASON);
                        int reason = cur.getInt(columnReason);
                        switch(reason){

                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_FILE_ERROR:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Download Failed.File is corrupt.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_HTTP_DATA_ERROR:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Download Failed.Http Error Found.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_SPACE:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Download Failed due to insufficient space in internal storage", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;

                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_UNHANDLED_HTTP_CODE:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Download Failed. Http Code Error Found.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_UNKNOWN:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Download Failed.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_CANNOT_RESUME:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "ERROR_CANNOT_RESUME", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "ERROR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;
                            case DownloadManager.ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND:
                                Toast.makeText(context, "ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                break;

                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        };


        context.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
        }

You can create a global Download class which extends Application class and declare a public method which takes the Uri as the input.

    class DownloadClass extends Application {

       public void startDownload(String url)
       {
          DownloadManager dm= (DownloadManager) getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
          DownloadManager.Request request = new         
          DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url));
          dm.enqueue(request);
       }

      }

then whereever you need to access this data, get Application object by:

DownloadClass download=(DownloadClass)context.getApplication();

download.startDownload("https://www.google.com.tw/images/srpr/logo4w.png");
