Question

I am using ThinDownloadManager library for download video from url. There is need to make video private so I like to use internal storage for saving downloading video to make it private. In above used library two thing we provide, first is url and second is path to store video file. when i give internal path it arise exception and video onDownloadFailed method invoked.

Below is my code

public void startVideoDownloading() {
        //Show downloading in notification bar

        final NotificationManager mNotifyManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        final NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
        mBuilder.setContentTitle("Video downloading")
                .setContentText("Download in progress")
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification);

        ThinDownloadManager downloadManager = new ThinDownloadManager();
        Uri downloadUri = Uri.parse(videoId);
        File fileDir = createDirectory();
        Uri destinationUri = Uri.parse(fileDir + uniqueId);
        DownloadRequest downloadRequest = new DownloadRequest(downloadUri)
                .setDestinationURI(destinationUri).setPriority(DownloadRequest.Priority.HIGH)
                .setDownloadListener(new DownloadStatusListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onDownloadComplete(int id) {
                        Toast.makeText(Player.this, "Download Completed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                        mBuilder.setContentText(" Video download completed")
                                .setProgress(0, 0, false);
                        mNotifyManager.notify(id, mBuilder.build());

                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onDownloadFailed(int id, int errorCode, String errorMessage) {
                        Toast.makeText(Player.this, "Download Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        mBuilder.setContentTitle("Failed");
                        mBuilder.setContentText("Downloading failed")
                                .setProgress(0, 0, false);
                        mNotifyManager.notify(id, mBuilder.build());

                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onProgress(int id, long totalBytes, long downloadedBytes, int progress) {
                        donutProgress.setProgress(progress);

                        mBuilder.setProgress(100, progress, false);

                        mNotifyManager.notify(id, mBuilder.build());

                    }
                });
        downloadManager.add(downloadRequest);
    }

    public File createDirectory() {
        File folder = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + "/+" + "downloadVideo/");
        if (!folder.exists()) {
            folder.mkdir();
            Log.d("TAG","Directory created");
        }else {
            Log.d("TAG","Directory exists");
        }
        return folder;

    }

When i provide external storage path is working fine. How can i resolve this problem?

you need to add permission for write internal storage in menifest — Jinal Patel, Jul 04 '16 at 06:48

You most likely need to add the following line to your manifest (as detailed here: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/files.html)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Also, if your application is targeting android 6.0 or above, you need to request this permission from the user at runtime - detailed here: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
