What is Simple URL Downloader ?
Simple URL Downloader is a simple UI to trigger a URL as a download pretty comfortable and quickly. This simple way isn't implemented in Android OS yet, but the call of this URL within a browser affects as a wordaround and triggers the download. But sometimes you don't want to open the URL before you can trigger a download, e.g. images which opens within the browser.
How do I use Simple URL Downloader ?
Simply start a download via the Download-Button. Eine vorhandene URL wird ggfs. aus der Zwischenablage eingefügt oder kann eingetragen werden, ein Titel sorgt aber für mehr Übersichtlichkeit in der Historie. There is a Clipboard-Listener under Settings, which listens for URLs copied to Android Systems' clipboard. All identified URLs will then be added to the notification area, for a download can be triggered as quickly as possible.
