→‎Project List: Update details for `An Android file downloader designed for Emerging Markets`
| A lesson learned thanks to our UX team is in Emerging Markets the data plan is dynamic: in late nights we have the most affordable bandwidth. Here's the question: Why not schedule big files and videos and have them downloaded when you're sleeping? The mvp would be an App which we can send urls to. After receiving these urls the App either downloads it directly or defer it to late night. As there are more and more background restrictions enforced on new Android APIs, this should be a fun and challenging journey.
A stretch The ultimate goal of this would be to embed this downloader in our browser for Emerging Markets, Firefox Lite. Firefox Lite is not satisfied with the current Android Download Manager in several ways: We'd like to give users the ability to pause/resume a download, we'd like to download a file directly to SDcard (opposed to download it to the main storage and move it into SDcard).That being said, please focus more on the reusablility of your App as a library than the UX/UI of the App itself. Afterall, GSOC is a coding project!
We've also prepared an even more ambitious mission for those who want tough challenges: Design the app and make it dynamic deliverable. With aabs we can satisfy both light and heavy users by defaulting Android Download Manager as the download tool and prepare the aforementioned downloader dynamically so that Firefox Lite itself is still minimized in terms of disk size. Nevin and mTwTm are Android developers who can provide assistance to Android App and library design.
