You can use few approaches:

  1. Download files into the private application's directory. No other apps will have access to those files. Pros of this approach is that is is the easiest way. Cons is that the inner storage might be limited in the device.
  2. Download files saving them with incorrect file extensions. Pros: easy to implement, can save anywhere. Cons: files can be accessed, copied and renamed by any other app.
  3. The same way as 2nd approach, but add some encryption to the files, so nobody except you can use them. This approach might require on-the-fly decryption.

You can save the files in Internal Storage Area. These files would be private to your app only.
Using getFilesDir() on any context provides absolute path to the filesystem directory where your internal files are saved. There in you can create directory. For more information refer here
