Notification doesn't download file

[SergioReis97]

Tying to use the option addAndroidDownloads and create a notification but the notification never opens the file.
I can use

let sendIntent = RNFetchBlob.android.actionViewIntent;
sendIntent(path, mimeType);

To open the downloaded file for android and it works accordingly, added it to the notification click (implemented by third party) and everything goes smoothly except that even disabling addAndroidDownloads notification it always stays there... and whenever clicked, it says "can't open file" in a toast and nothing happens.

Here's the complete function i'm currently using to download

  _downloadFile(fileName,url) {
    const PictureDir = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.PictureDir;
    var tipoFIcheiro = mimetype.lookup(fileName);
    if (!tipoFIcheiro)
      tipoFIcheiro = "image/png"

    RNFetchBlob
    .config({
        fileCache : true,
        addAndroidDownloads : {
          title : fileName,
          mime : tipoFIcheiro,
          useDownloadManager : true,
          description : fileName,
          mediaScannable : false,
          notification : false,
        }
      })  
      .fetch('GET', url, {
        //some headers ..
      })
      .then((res) => {
        // the temp file path
        let base64Str = res.data;
        let imageLocation = PictureDir + '/' + fileName;
        

        //Save image
        
        fs.writeFile(imageLocation, base64Str, 'base64');
        if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
          notify("Download Completo",fileName)
        } else {
          notifyFicheiro("Download Completo",fileName,tipoFIcheiro,res.path())
        }
      })
    

  }

Thanks in advance

SInce i can open the notification i create and opened the file i found out that the file is being saved under /data/user/0/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/downloadfile.bin . Is it possible to save it to the RNFetchBlob.dirs.DocumentDir instead and with the correct extension? that way notification can probably open the file

@SergioReis97 , you can add path to addAndroidDownloads.

See the wiki

Using this still gives the same error when trying to open the file

    .config({
        fileCache : true,
        addAndroidDownloads : {
          title : fileName,
          mime: tipoFIcheiro,
          path:dirs.DCIMDir,
          ext:"png",
          useDownloadManager : true,
          description : fileName,
          mediaScannable : true,
          notification : true,
        }
      })

I think you should also give a filename (also extension) to the path, not folder only 👍

Same result actually, it does download and goes to download app but always says "Can't open this file". Same when i click in downloadmanager notification and i can still open it using the custom notification even though it points to "/data/user/0/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/downloadfile.bin"

    let dirs = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs
    RNFetchBlob
    .config({
        fileCache : true,
        // android only options, these options be a no-op on IOS
        addAndroidDownloads : {
          title : "test.png",
          mime: tipoFIcheiro,
          path:dirs.DCIMDir+"/test.png" ,
          ext:"png",
          useDownloadManager : true,
          description : fileName,
          mediaScannable : true,
          notification : true,
        }
      })

It looks similar to #391

Re-installing into 0.10.6 didn't work but I copied the changes you've did in and it does indeed solve. Thank you for this amazing project/help :)
