Download content to local deivce for app use?

I need to build an app with some dynamic content. What I would like to happen is:

when the app is launched it checks to see if a new version of an xml document is available (online)
if a new xml is available it downloads that file as well as updated pdfs, images, movies, etc
that new content is then stored locally and is accessed locally from the app.
Is this possible? Can I download content into the app? How can the app access this content if it is not put directly into the app?

Thanks

This can be done in Corona.

The files get put into a sandbox and you can access them and display them.

Take a gander at the simpleimagedownload sample code at
