PRDownloader is a file downloader library for Android with pause and resume support.
The library addresses the need to download files reliably on Android devices while allowing users to pause and resume transfers. It handles large files and supports multiple concurrent download requests through a straightforward API. The tool provides callbacks for download lifecycle events including onProgress, onCancel, onStart, and onError, and allows developers to check download status using a download ID. Request cancellation is properly supported, and extensive customization options are available.
Developers should choose this library if they need pause-and-resume functionality for file downloads in Android applications. It works well for downloading any file type including images, videos, PDFs, and APKs. The simple interface makes it accessible for basic use cases while supporting advanced customization for more complex requirements.
The project has a backlog of planned work including integration with OkHttp and RxJava, test case coverage, and additional features and bug fixes. Pull requests are welcomed and the maintainers provide contribution guidelines for those wishing to participate.
