    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(IRPack pack) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(pack);
        pack.downloadPackComplete(); // Unzip completed pack
    }
}

I am currently using this download class , the problem is , when I lost connection it simply fail and exit the apps, please are there any way to include try and error : retry connection if fail , if connect is not success after retry 2 times., then make a toast. Thanks

Answer 1

u will make your own logic to hit 2 times for download the file if your file not downloaded, because when network will disconnected then downloading will stop.

Answer 2

the first thing to do is check connectivity before making requests.

 ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager) 
        getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()) {
        // fetch data
    } else {
        // display error
    }

Second :

private String downloadUrl(String myurl) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = null;
    // Only display the first 500 characters of the retrieved
    // web page content.
    int len = 500;

    try {
        URL url = new URL(myurl);
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
        conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);
        conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        // Starts the query
        conn.connect();
        int response = conn.getResponseCode();
        Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "The response is: " + response);
        is = conn.getInputStream();

        // Convert the InputStream into a string
        String contentAsString = readIt(is, len);
        return contentAsString;

    // Makes sure that the InputStream is closed after the app is
    // finished using it.
    } finally {
        if (is != null) {
            is.close();
        } 
    }
}

Make the part of your code throw an IOException as shown above
