Example file download and open in Cordova inAppBrowser

example-download-and-open.js

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.TEMPORARY, 0, gotFS, fail);

function fail(error) {
    console.log(error)
}

function gotFS(fileSystem) {
   fileSystem.root.getDirectory("data", {create: true, exclusive: false}, gotDir, fail);
}

function gotDir(dirEntry) {
    dirEntry.getFile("unixtoolbox.pdf", {create: true, exclusive: false}, gotFile, fail);
}

function gotFile(fileEntry) {
    // Start FileTransfer here...
    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
    var uri = encodeURI("http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.pdf");

    fileTransfer.download(
        uri,
        fileEntry.fullPath,
        function(entry) {
            //window.plugins.webintent.startActivity({
            //    action: WebIntent.ACTION_VIEW,
            //    url: encodeURI(entry.fullPath),
            //}, function () {}, function (error) {
            //   console.log(error);
            //});
            window.open(encodeURI(entry.fullPath),"_blank","location=no,enableViewportScale=yes")
            console.log("download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
        },
        function(error) {
            console.log("download error source " + error.source);
            console.log("download error target " + error.target);
            console.log("upload error code" + error.code);
        }
    );
}

This works in iOS, but not so much in Android.. passing off a file requires there to be something to receive it.

Might have to catch some errors and make suggestions.

"_system" target

can i use this script in intel xdk?

Where to put this file? The webapp source folder or some cordova folder?

Hey, you can use this function where you want to use download feature in your application.

i.e: We should be using this in our application but not in cordova folder.

what exactly the plugins do we need while using this code ? @devgeeks
