Here is the gist in kotlin Gist

In your gist you have a BroadcastReceiver, not sure why you have one and you create a new instance of fetch in the onReceive method which also I am not sure what is supposed to be doing. There are now 2 different instances one in the service and one in the receiver, what is the point of this @Hacker437?

[InfiniteCoder06]

@DavidKmn Otherwise, I cannot pause, resume, cancel the download when the button is clicked. I don't know if it can be done in a single instance only @tonyofrancis can tell.

[DavidKmn]

@tonyofrancis Any thoughts on this?

I think it is ok as long as they share same namespace

I have a question. Should I use my Fragment class (which has resume,start,cancel buttons of a download link) instead of DownloadService class ? Or I mean can I use the codes in the DownloadService in my fragment class directly ? At the end there is an url in the DownloadService but I get the url from the user which needs an edit text.

[InfiniteCoder06]

@passmanagerapp Yes you can use Fetch in a fragment.

[InfiniteCoder06]

@passmanagerapp Do you need background downloading?

[passmanagerapp]

@Hacker437 Yes I need background downloading

[passmanagerapp]

@Hacker437 But fragment can't extends Service. What should I do to start downloading process in Fragment and continue to backgrond downloading when app is killed or in background.

[passmanagerapp]

I have created a DownloadService class and DownloadCompleteReceiver as you did in the code. In fragmet, with a button I want to start the service, here is what I did for this: button.setOnclickListener { serviceIntent = Intent(context(),DownloadService::class.java) serviceIntent.putExtra("requestID",request.id) context().startService(serviceIntent) } btnPause.setOnclickListener { serviceIntent.putExtra("action","pause") }

[passmanagerapp]

How can I use the same fetch instance and request instance in Service in my Fragment ? Now the background process is working fine, but when I open the app, the UI is reset.

[InfiniteCoder06]

I am sorry I too don't know.
