[lankesri]

downloaded the zip and the did Uncompress and added the plugin to current project as

cordova plugin add C:\Users\vijayavarma.l\Desktop\Temp\cordova-plugin-downloadmanager-master

And added the below code in download method

 var fail = function (message) {
       alert(message)
    }
    var success = function (data) {
           console.log("succes");
    }
    var options = {
      setDestinationInExternalPublicDir: true  // set true if you want to use public dir instead of files dir
    }
    cordova.plugins.DownloadManager.download(url, "aaaaaa","Download Successful" ,success, fail);

and finally getting below error

Please mention the exact error from ADB console.

[lankesri]

this is what im getting in console "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'download' of undefined"

It seems your download method is accepting JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext

then how can we call like this

cordova.plugins.DownloadManager.download(url, "pdf","Download Successful" ,success, fail);

Thank you

It comes to my attention that this plugin is not supported in Android 10 and 11. Try out in lower version and let me know how that goes.

Hi Vasani-arpit, file is downloading but there is no progressbar in notification section
Please find the code here

 var request = {
  	//Location of the resource to download
  	uri: url,
  	//Title of this download, to be displayed in notifications
  	title: 'Downloading',
  	//Description of this download, to be displayed in notifications
  	description: 'pdf download',
  	//This will override the content type declared in the server's response.
  	mimeType: '',
  	//Set whether this download should be displayed in the system's Downloads UI. True by default
  	visibleInDownloadsUi: true,
  	//Control when a system notification is posted by the download manager.
  	notificationVisibility: 0,
  	// Set the local destination to a path within the application's external files directory
  	/*destinationInExternalFilesDir: {
  		dirType: 'Downloads',
  		subPath: '' //Path within the external directory, including the destination filename
  	},*/
  	//Set the local destination to a path within the application's public external storage directory
  	destinationInExternalPublicDir: {
  		dirType: 'Downloads',
  		subPath: '' //Path within the external directory, including the destination filename
  	},
  	//Set the local destination for the downloaded file.
  	//destinationUri: '',
  	//Additional HTTP headers to be included with the download request.
  	//headers: [{header: 'Authorization', value: 'Bearer iaksjfd89aklfdlkasdjf'}]
  };

cordova.plugins.Downloader.download(request,
		(location) => { alert('File is downloaded at' + location) },
		(err) => { alert(err)})
