To download a file from any web url, we have to do following:

We need this because downloading large files on main thread may consume more memory and may lead the app to crash.Use HttpURLConnection to openConnection() for the url and create an InputStream for downloading the url.Create an OutputStream and write data from InputStream to File path in sdcard.Show download progress using onProgressUpdate method of AsyncTask.In onPreExecute() method of AsyncTask make ProgressBar VISIBLE.In onPostExecute method of AsyncTask, make ProgressBar GONE.
