Re: [android-developers] Any plans to make a DownloadManager library/jar available for pre-Gingerbread support?

Just copy the networking code out of the platform source.  It has been there since 1.0.  Personally I would skip the whole content provider API that is built on top of that, since that is a lot of complexity for no benefit for something that is all running inside the app.  (Even for something for access to another app, the content provider API is questionable.)

I would love to take advantage of the new DownloadManager introduced in Gingerbread, but since I'm aiming to keep my app cupcake-compatible, this is quite problematic.

Are there any plans to make a library available for pre-Gingerbread support? If not, are there any known technical hurdles that would prevent a library from being created (relatively painlessly) based on the Gingerbread code?
