Do something while file is downloading...

[ultrasamad]

Is there a way of calling a function or showing a loading spinner when the app is downloading the file from a server? Which method should I invoke?

Nothing is designed for this in the plugin, but you could try:

var onSuccess = function(data) {
    hideSpinner();
    // Do something
};
function onError(error) {
    hideSpinner();
    // Do something
}
showSpinner();
window.cordova.plugins.FileOpener.openFile("http://www.website.com/file.pdf", onSuccess, onError);

with showSpinner and hideSpinner, 2 functions that manages the spinner display.
