Compatibility with cordova-plugin-file@7 Android URLs

[kryops]

Hi there,

the new release 7.0.0 of cordova-plugin-file changed the format of URLs generated via file.toURL() and file.toInternalURL() from cdvfile://localhost/persistent/... to https://localhost/__cdvfile_persistent__/... on Android. This plugin does not seem to be able to handle them yet.

As a workaround, I am currently using file.nativeURL, which seems to work quite well.

Thanks for looking into it!

I received that also, however after installing via npm and then via cordova it built albeit does not solve the problem still.

I start wondering if this plugin is still being maintained.

As @pixellet14 mentioned and posted earlier - this plugin works. I have it loaded and yes, I am able to get it work on both Cordova 11 for both Android@11 and iOS@6.2 (but I have only tested downloads; its all I need it for at the moment) with the following simply function:

  function DownloadFile(urlFile,newFileName,storage_location){
    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
    var folderpath=storage_location+newFileName ; //The path is added here.
    var onSuccess= function(entry){
      console.log("download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
    };

    var onError=function(error) {
      console.log("download error source " + error.source);
      console.log("download error target " + error.target);
      console.log("upload error code " + error.code);
    };

    fileTransfer.download(urlFile,folderpath,onSuccess,onError);
  }
