Download manager missing from apps list android

The last link shows you how to take permissions that survive a device restart. If other App's don't need to access the files you are downloading then it would be better to store them in your App's private directory instead which is much simpler as it does not require permissions — Andrew.

Right, but I would like to use the DownloadManager to download the files I need and it cannot take in the location of the apps private directory for the destination will throw a SecurityException.
