title: downloadlistener not working
body: <p>How is the DownloadListener supposed to work? Probably I miss something. I did the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Register a DownloadListener at a WebView.</li>
  <li>Open a WebView with a HTML page, containing a link (works).</li>
  <li>If I click on the link, the DownloadListener is not called.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is a short portion of the code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>package rene.android.learnit;
  
  import android.app.*;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.webkit.*;
  
  public class ShowWeb extends Activity 
      implements DownloadListener
  {
      public static Lesson L;
  
      WebView WV;
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
      {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.showweb);
  
          WV=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.showweb);
          WV.setDownloadListener(this);
          WV.loadUrl("http://android.rene-grothmann.de/courses.html");
  
      }
  
      public void onDownloadStart (String url, String agent, String disposition,
              String mimetype, long size)
      {
          Main.log(url+" "+mimetype+" "+size);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The logging works (I am using this everywhere to check my program), but nothing is logged, so the callback is not called. What happens is: The view tries to download the file, and fails, since zip files are not supported on my Android.</p>
  
  <p>The link goes to a zip-file. It is a usual  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href=...&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>link.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to figure out the alternative method of registering an intent for zip files. But the documentation is so sparse, I could not do that. If I have to, is there an example?</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, R.</p>
