Runs Flutter Downloader on WorkManager

[rizkyputrapb]

Hi, sorry if this has already questioned before. Is it possible to run this library in the background since this library itself runs in the background? The scenario is I want to download a file from a link but the link needs to be retrieved from an API call (which takes a long time). I already implement this code on the WorkManager but it keeps throwing IOException: Permission Denied

Here is the code:

The exception thrown:

Hi, please don't paste images, but text. As per your question:

TBH, I don't know. This is an unusual use case that I'm seeing for the first time.

Well, I want to download a pretty large file. the link to download the file is generated from the backend (by calling an API) and the generation process takes a long time to finish. So, I decided to put the API call on the background task (WorkManager) and when it's finished it downloads the file from the link generated. Is there any workaround for this?

I don't think so. You'll have do to in on your own.
