Hi, Jean-Baptiste Queru
Thanks a lot for your nice answers. You said DownloadProvider only can
be used by system application. Mind you tell me which system application use
DownloadProvider ? If the downloading functionality is really needed in my
app, what should I do ?
Even though it's bad for me can't use DownloadProvider in my app, but a
very good thing you told me how to use package installer.
Thanks
Ding
