MY APPLICATION DOES NOT BEGIN DOWNLOAD! How do I give the command to start the download manager?? HELP ME PLEASE!

Hello everyone, I AM AN ITALIAN BOY I created my first app on this site but I have a big problem! Let me explain: on the Find and Install of my application, I added a custom search engine to find files to download. After the search engine gives me the result of the download, as soon as I click, opens the same page, the site to download the file (for example, megaupload). When the site issuing the file to download does not start downloading from the download manager of the phone (as he would, instead, the phone's native browser)! I do not know programming. I sdk and eclipse with all its plugins, but I do not understand anything! Any expert can help me make this very important command in my application? Please! Otherwise, my application will not help! HELP ME PLEASE!

what is your question? The first thing you'll need to do is understand how to compile your application using Eclipse. Next, you'll need to understand how to explort a signed application - also with eclipse. Have you seen the videos? Not sure how to help if that is too confusing.

Not sure what the download manager for the phone is? To install an Android app that is saved on your server, enter the URL to the .apk file in the devices regular browser. Be sure the device has 'Allow Non Market Apps' set to 'YES' in the settings. Browser on device: http://www.mysite.com/myandroidapp.apk Thats it.
