cordova-plugin-file-opener2: Opening local file (pdf) : “not found”.
Hello,
Using io.github.pwlin.cordova.plugins.fileopener2, I can’t open my local PDF file in Android.
Locally, I have a “/myapp/www/pdf/” folder with files (1.pdf,… to 6.pdf).
Here my PhoneGap config.xml

I already tried many things like that in my html files :
<!-- openPDF is a personnal function... see next block -->
<a onClick="openPDF('pdf/1.pdf');">Open PDF</a>
My functions (js files) :
var fs;
function fsSuccess(fileSystem)
{
fs = fileSystem;
}
function fsFail(event)
{
console.log(event.target.error.code);
}
function openPDF(file) {
window.requestFileSystem = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, fsSuccess, fsFail);
file = fs.root.toURL() + file;
cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
file, // You can also use a Cordova-style file uri: cdvfile://localhost/persistent/Download/starwars.pdf
'application/pdf',
{
error : function(e) {
console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);
$('#errorpdf').html('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message+' - File : '+file);
},
success : function () {
console.log('file opened successfully');
$('#errorpdf').html('file opened successfully');
}
}
);
}
All the time, Cordova returns me : “Error status: 9 - Error message: File not found”
Where am I wrong ?
EDIT : my folders /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.example.app/files /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.example.app/cache obviously is empty and I don’t know how to move local .pdf file to this folder.

I had the same problem trying to open a PDF located in the www/ folder. So to open it in android: I copied it to the external data directory and then I opened the new file:
(uri is /www/path/to/file.pdf)
Thanks to @japostigo-atsistemas solution!
I tweaked it a bit, here’s what I recommend:
window.open
instead offileOpener2.open
uri.split('/').pop()
to keep the original filename when copying@Balaji-yogy I had the same issue. I changed from window.TEMPORARY to LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT and it worked.
