Changing default download location

Does anybody have an idea about changing the default download location in android? Or do you guys know how can I write an Android application which asks the user download location (sd card or usb memory)?

You can change your save location when using a Samsung Browser by going into Settings > Advanced > Save content to and select SD Card (if you have one)

Type about:config (go to this address) and go past the prompt, change the value of browser.download.lastDir to your download location. Havent tried this yet im using beta app

If you mean downloading from a link in the browser it is up to the browser to set the folder the files are stored in. The default browser uses sdcard/download/ to store files. I am not sure if you can change this in the browser settings or not. But there is nothing stopping you or anyone from making your own browser application that uses a different folder by default, or even asks the user to set their own choice of download folder. I think the firefox app uses sdcard/downloads/ instead of download, they may have a setting in there that lets you change that also.
