无法在Android Web视图中从服务器下载文件

Question

I want to download a file from my school web view app.

When I open my school website in chrome (android) it downloads my marks file, but in my Web view app it does not download. But then my Web view app can download course material inside Web view fine.

I have already implemented the download listener. In debugging i check that clicking on marks button it does not enter in to download block code?

You should set download listener to you web view just like this:

mWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
            long contentLengt[h) {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
    startActivity(i);
}
});
