Here's my code for downloading the PDF:
window.requestFileSystem(window.TEMPORARY, 5 * 1024 * 1024, function (fs) {
fs.root.getFile('test.pdf', { create: true, exclusive: false }, function (fileEntry) {
console.log(fileEntry.toURL());
// file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/..../tmp/test.pdf
fileTransfer.download(uri, fileEntry.toURL(), function(entry) {
var localUrl = entry.toInternalURL();
console.log(localUrl); // cdvfile://localhost/temporary/test.pdf
// open the file here
},
function(error) {
console.log("download error source " + error.source);
console.log("download error target " + error.target);
console.log("download error code" + error.code);
},
false,
{ });
}, function() {
console.log("onErrorCreateFile");
});
}, function() {
console.log("onErrorLoadFs");
});In the "open the file here" section above, I've tried these (this first 2 window.open calls both work with either toURL or toInternalURL, and fileopener2.open works with toURL but not toInternalURL)
// this works:
window.open(entry.toURL(), '_blank',
'location=no,closebuttoncaption=Close,enableViewportScale=yes');// this also works:
window.open(localUrl, '_blank', 'location=no,closebuttoncaption=Close,enableViewportScale=yes');//cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open( // this works
cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.showOpenWithDialog( // this does not
//localUrl, // using localUrl prints this error:
// Error status: 9 - Error message: File does not exist
entry.toURL(), // this calls the success callback and the log shows
//"file opened successfully" but nothing occurs on the UI
'application/pdf',
{
error : function(e) {
console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);
},
success : function () {
console.log('file opened successfully');
}
}
);

I'm trying to use the showOpenWithDialog feature, but I can't get it to work for some reason.
I'm downloading the file successfully, because I can use fileopener2.open() and it will open the PDF in a new window. I can also see the request successfully completing on the server side when I call the showOpenWithDialog function, and the success callback is also getting called. But nothing happens on the UI.
I found this recent issue that seemed related:
https://github.com/pwlin/cordova-plugin-file-opener2/issues/132
I don't use Xcode that much (we build our app using cordova's command line), but I was able to find the "Auto layout" setting in the MainViewController.xib file under Classes/ in the File Navigator. That's the only .xib file I found. That setting is already unchecked in the File Inspector. I tried checking it and rebuilding it, but that did not have any effect.
I also found another "Auto layout" setting in the Resources > CDVLaunchScreen.storyboard, but unchecking Auto Layout did not have any effect.
I've upgraded Cordova to 7.0.1 and am using XCode 8.2.1. This is for an iPad app only. It's minimum target is iOS 9.0 and I'm running 9.3.5 on an iPad 2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
