How to simulate the default browser to download .apk files from webview?

Question

Can someone explain to me how I can simulate the default browser when I try to download .apk from the network?

So far I have this:

WebView webview; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); WebSettings webSettings = webview.getSettings(); webSettings.setSavePassword(false); webSettings.setSaveFormData(false); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webSettings.setSupportZoom(false); webview.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() { public void onDownloadStart(final String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimetype, long contentLength) { Toast.makeText(testapp.this, url, Toast.LENGTH_LONG); } }); webview.loadUrl("http://dacp.jsharkey.org/TunesRemote-r2.apk"); } 

I have already added permission to use the Internet. Are there any other permissions I need to add? Am I doing a DownloadListener wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Use intention

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW ,Uri.parse("http://dacp.jsharkey.org/TunesRemote-r2.apk")); startActivity(intent);
