NappDownloadManager-mod | Download Manager for Appcelerator Titanium

NappDownloadManager-mod is a Java library. NappDownloadManager-mod has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However NappDownloadManager-mod build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

This is a download module for Appcelerator Titanium that allows you to add urls and download the files in the background. These versions of the original NappDownloadManager modules have been updated and modified by @kosso. Why u no fork? Due to recent Titanium SDK and Studio updates and changes since these modules were first built, I could not get basic forks of these modules to compile. Also Studio doesn't seem to play well with cross-platform module projects as it used to. So they have been split in to two seperate projects for iOS and Android. I have also added a missing Android jar which was required. The module id is still dk.napp.downloadmanager for both iOS and Android, despite the change in project names. Compiled module zip files can be found in the dist folder for each platform. My usage of these modules required more control over the download queues, in particular the ability to totally 'nuke' and reset the download queue, in case of an app crash or other reason. The original version had some issues where incomplete downloads in the queue could not be safely deleted or removed. [see issues] - particulary when developing an app, since app UIDs change in the stored filepaths on each deployment (to the simulator or device). To clean things up, a method called cleanUp() has been introduced to both platforms which will look for any existing queue data files, read them, then clean up any partial downloads from an aborted previous session and finally delete the queue data files again, completely resetting the queue. I recommend calling it right after instantiating the module, so a clean up can be performed at launch, after a potential crash. And also for good measure before starting a new queue. [@kosso]. Note: I also call the stopDownloader() method immediately after loading the module, after discovering that the module contains a 'heartbeat' which will run constantly in the background unless you stop it. I then call restartDownloader() just before I add download requests with addDownload(url) which trigger downloading.
