The Downloader component can be used to download a file straight from the internet to your phone or tablet's local storage.

dwn = app.CreateDownloader( options? ) → app object: Downloader

You can download a file with the Download method which accepts a source url and a target directory: dwn.Download( srcFileUrl, targetDir );

Once the Download method has been called, it show a progress bar with the current download progress. But you can disable this behavior with the “NoDialog” option.

If you want to know when the download process has finished (or failed) you can define a callback functioni with the SetOnComplete method: dload.SetOnComplete( callback );

function OnStart()
{
    var srcFileUrl = "http://sgarman.net/downloadable.txt";
    var targetDir = "/sdcard";

    dload = app.CreateDownloader();
    dload.SetOnComplete( dload_OnComplete );
    dload.Download( srcFileUrl, targetDir );
}

function dload_OnComplete()
{
    app.ShowPopup("Download complete");
}
