I have created a custom action called 'Download' and put php code inside:

<?php
$file = $_REQUEST['$file'];

            if (file_exists($file)) {
                header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
                header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
                header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
                header('Expires: 0');
                header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
                header('Pragma: public');
                header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
                readfile($file);
                exit;
            }
?>

Now, I want to use the action in view code for downloading files. How can I use the action in the view code?

Or maybe there is a completely different way to do it using the Plugins->Download config and a custom download action?
