Why can't I download apps from the play store?

[AC Question]

Every time I try to download an app it just says downloading for hours. I have tried clearing the cache and data multiple times. I have restarted my Samsung galaxy tab A multiple times as well. What do I do?

Welcome to Android Central! Which app's cache/data were you clearing? The Play Store, Download Manager, or both? Make sure you do it for both.

Also, does this happen on any wi-fi network, or only your own?
