Thanks bakriOnFire. The fact is that the downloaded file doesn't appear in the Downloads folder when I navigate to it using the file explorer of my device Still why I can see the file in the displayed Activity?
If it's there that means that Android recognizes its existence, not so? Hi bakriOnFire. As I replied to Thorsten Dittmar, the file does open on another device with Polaris Office, which suggests you can trust me that my code is ok. But for some reason, I can't open it on my device and I don't know why. Put any other pdf file in downloads in mobile. First try opening it from file explorer in mobile if its opening then try opening it using your code. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes.
The following menu will show you all your recent downloads, and you can just tap on one to re-download it. If connecting your Android device to your Windows computer is easier for you, then you can also use this to find the Downloads folder in Android.
Plug in to a USB port on your computer and wait for your computer to accept the connection. You can even save the said file on your computer if you want to use it at some other time.
Personally, I believe this is the easiest method to find and open downloaded files on Android. Not only the downloads, even the files from Google apps like Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.. To open downloads from Google Drive , open the Google Drive app.
If you remember the name of the file, use search bar to easily find the downloaded file or scroll through the files and locate it. In your file manager app whichever you may be using you can press down on the file you want to delete. Options will then appear, including one that will allow you to delete the said file.
This is helpful if you want to delete multiple files. Just make sure you select all the files you want to delete from the folder and then hit the Delete icon up top. Look for My Files app in the Samsung folder on your Samsung phone. All the files are stored in My Files including the Downloads.
If you find difficulty locating the app, use the search bar. In the Chrome app, tap the Kebab menu three dots located on the top right corner of the screen. I understand that finding your way around the Android operating system might seem slightly daunting at first. These methods are helpful to get you back on track and locate the downloaded files you need to access. Let us know in the comments section which method worked for you.

I have a galaxy S5. The update took about 10 minutes to install. I will say just from 1 day, it appears to be a much needed update.
I have no more error messages, my apps are behaving like they used to and nothing has notified me that it has unexpectedly stopped working. Seems very stable so I say thank you to Samsung.

Can you please explain why the files originally opened, and then would not. The important thing is that everything is back to normal, glad to hear that and thanks for commenting.
Once you've located your downloaded files, you can open a file with a tap, or bring up more options with a long-press on the file. If you don't like the default file manager app on your Android phone, or it doesn't have one, download the Files by Google app formerly Files Go from the Play Store. The app is easy to navigate, provides quick access to your downloads folder and helps you free up storage space.
When you open Files by Google, the app will recommend various options like clearing out app caches, removing junk files or deleting backed-up photos from your device. There's even an AirDrop-like file-sharing feature baked into the app that makes it really easy to share files with someone who is nearby.
Once you've installed the app, you can find your downloaded files by selecting the Browse tab at the bottom of the app, then tapping Downloads.
Tap a file to open it, or long-press on it to select the file and delete, share or rename it. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.
