I am new to Android Development.
I've written the following code to download a video file from the internet. It works fine. Now I want to attach a progress bar during the download process.I tried to subclass AsyncTask and write the download code inside doInBackground() method. But, somehow I can't figure it out.
Can somebody please help me modify this code to accomplish that?
