Android Question Downloading and opening any type of file

[jesseiz]

Hey,

How do i download and open any type of file?

encodedLink = su.EncodeUrl(selectedfile,"UTF8")
Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("DownloadFile", Me)

   job.Download(Link&"/files/" & encodedLink & "")

This is what i have right now but how do i open the file after it has finished?

Sub JobDone(Job As HttpJob)
    ProgressDialogHide
    If Job.Success Then
        Log("JobName: "&Job.JobName)
    Else
        ToastMessageShow("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage, True)
    End If
    Job.Release
End Sub

Yes ,

I searched for it but i can't seem to find exactly what i need.

What i want is to download a file from a URL and then save and open that file .

Do you know how to do that or have you found a post where they explain this?

Thanks!
