Fetch is a Kotlin file download manager library for Android that handles background, concurrent, pause/resume, and prioritized downloads with progress tracking and notification support. It wraps HTTP downloading (via OkHttp/HttpURLConnection) behind a simple request-based API.
Use cases
- download files in the background on android
- pause and resume large file downloads in my app
- download multiple files concurrently with priorities
- show download progress and speed in notifications
- retry failed downloads automatically on android
- download files only on wifi or specific network types
- track download eta and progress in my android app
When to choose
- you need a robust, dedicated download manager for an Android app with background and concurrent downloading
- you want pause/resume, retry, priority, and progress tracking out of the box
- you need Storage Access Framework, Content Provider, and URI support for saving files
When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off HTTP requests rather than managed downloads
- your project is not Android-based
- you need upload support or torrent/multi-protocol downloading
