Details

Download source code, by executing git clone https://github.com/dmitry-voronkevich/loader-droid-public-api

cd loader-droid-public-api
gradle uploadArchives

In your project's build.gradle make sure that you have local repositories setup

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
}

And add dependency to api lib

dependencies {
    compile 'org.zloy.android.downloader.api:loader-droid-public-api:1.0'
}

Next, in your java code call to:

if (!LoaderDroidPublicAPI.addLoading(MissingLDAction.RETURN_FALSE, context, myLink)) {
    doOwnLoading(myLink);
}

In this case library will check if LoaderDroid is installed in system and delegates loading to it. If it is not installed, it will return false.

If you don't want to write your own loading code you can call

LoaderDroidPublicAPI.addLoading(MissingLDAction.ASK_USER_TO_INSTALL_LD, this, myLink);

But you should add some more code inside AndroidManifest.xml

<application ...>

    ...

    <activity android:name="org.zloy.android.downloader.AddLoadingActivity" android:theme="@style/AddLoadingActivityTheme.DeviceDefault"/>
  
    ...

</application>

This will check if LoaderDroid installed and if not - show dialog asking user to install LoaderDroid.
