Phonegap WebIntent cannot open / access a downloaded APK file

From my Phonegap App I am downloading my APK which happens with no issues but I cannot get the file installed once its there.
The following bit of code just fails during the WEB INTENT section which should install the APk but its having trouble reading the file.
var apkFilePath = cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory+'myapp.apk';
// Android UPDATE routine
function downloadApkAndroid(data) {
var permissions = cordova.plugins.permissions;
permissions.hasPermission(permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, function (status) {
if (!status.hasPermission) {
var errorCallback = function () {
alert("Error: app requires storage permission");
if (callBack && callBack !== null) {
callBack();
}
};
permissions.requestPermission(permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
function (status) {
if (!status.hasPermission)
errorCallback();
else {
downloadFile();
}
},
errorCallback);
}
else {
downloadFile();
}
}, null);
}
function downloadFile(){
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var url = "https://myappurl.com/myapp.apk";
var uri = encodeURI(url);
var filePath = getFilePath();
fileTransfer.download(
uri,
apkFilePath,
function (entry) {
console.log("Download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
promptForUpdateAndroid(entry);
},
function (error) {
console.error("Download error source " + error.source);
console.error("Download error target " + error.target);
console.error("Download error code " + error.code);
},
false,
{
}
);
}
/*
* Uses the borismus webintent plugin
*/
function promptForUpdateAndroid(entry) {
console.log(apkFilePath);
window.plugins.webintent.startActivity(
{
action: window.plugins.webintent.ACTION_VIEW,
url: apkFilePath,
type: 'application/vnd.android.package-archive'
},
function () {
},
function () {
// alert('Failed to open URL via Android Intent.');
console.log("Failed to open URL via Android Intent. URL: " + entry.fullPath);
}
);
}

So figured this out by using cordova-plugin-file-opener2 and changing the promptForUpdateAndroid() to get rid of Web Intents:
var myFilePath = cordova.file.dataDirectory+'myApp.apk';
function promptForUpdateAndroid(entry) {
cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
myFilePath,
'application/vnd.android.package-archive',
{
error : function(e) {
console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);
},
success : function () {
console.log('file opened successfully');
}
}
);
This instantly installed the app, though it didn't re-open once installed. I'm off to figure that out.

Cordova - File Download not working

I am facing issues to download images with phonegap + steroids
Here is a simplified version of the code
var downloadUrl = "http://www.gajotres.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/logo_radni.png";
var imageName = "logo_radni.png";
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function (fileSystem) {
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
fileTransfer.download(
downloadUrl,
fileSystem.root.toURL() + "/" + imageName,
function (entry) {
alert("ok");
},
function (err) {
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
});
});
The error is this
{"code":3,"source":"http://www.gajotres.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/logo_radni.png","target":"file:///storage/emulated/0//logoradni.png","http_status":401,"body":null,"exception":null}
Error 3 is
3 = FileTransferError.CONNECTION_ERR
I am on wifi
navigator.connection.type = "wifi"
In my config.xml as far as I concern is included
<access origin=".*" />

How to download music that stored in http server in Angularjs

Let's say I have a API that stores some .mp3 music.
The sample link here:
https://118.69.201.34:8882/api/ApiMusic/Download?songId=2000
Now I want to write an API calling function in Angularjs to download the music to my Android devices with the song's Id number as in the link.
How can I do that? Please help :(

You can use the ngCordova FileTransfer library here: http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/fileTransfer/
Here's example code from that page, tweaked to your example URL:
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
var fileid = "2000";
var url = "https://118.69.201.34:8882/api/ApiMusic/Download?songId=" + fileid;
var targetPath = cordova.file.documentsDirectory + fileid + ".mp3";
var trustHosts = true
var options = {};
$cordovaFileTransfer.download(url, targetPath, options, trustHosts)
.then(function(result) {
// Success!
}, function(err) {
// Error
}, function (progress) {
$timeout(function () {
$scope.downloadProgress = (progress.loaded / progress.total) * 100;
})
});
}, false);

I did it finally, here is my code. Just share for those who want to refer to this issue in the future. Thanks you guys for your answers
$scope.download = function(songId, songName) {
$ionicLoading.show({
template: 'Downloading...'
});
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function (fs) {
fs.root.getDirectory(
"fMusic",
{
create: true
},
function (dirEntry) {
dirEntry.getFile(
songName + ".mp3",
{
create: true,
exclusive: false
},
function gotFileEntry(fe) {
var p = fe.toURL();
fe.remove();
ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.download(
encodeURI(APIUrl + songId),
p,
function (entry) {
$ionicLoading.hide();
$scope.mp3File = entry.toURL();
},
function (error) {
$ionicLoading.hide();
alert("Download Error Source --> " + error.source);
},
false,
null
);
},
function () {
$ionicLoading.hide();
console.log("Get the file failed");
}
);
}
);
},
function () {
$ionicLoading.hide();
console.log("Request for filesystem failed");
});
}

How to store and retrieve files in/from android app space?

I'm developing a cordova/phonegap app. Right now, I'm testing the app on Android.
If I include files (audio, video, ...) by default, I can access to that files indicating the "url" like audio/filesong.mp3 or video/filevideo.mp4.
But if I download files with the next code:
function downloadFile() {
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var uri = encodeURI("UrlOfTheFile");
var fileURL = "cdvfile://localhost/persistent/appcustomstorage/";
fileTransfer.download(
uri, fileURL + "file.extension", function(entry) {
console.log("download complete: " + entry.toURL());
}, function(error) {
console.log("download error source " + error.source);
console.log("download error target " + error.target);
console.log("upload error code" + error.code);
}, false, {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
}
});
}
I download the file in StorageRoot/appcustomstorage/file.extension
It is possible to store the file in the app package, i.e., in, for example, Android/data/com.example.app??
Or a method to get the Android/data/com.example.app url and then add the necessary folder?
Solution:
In this case I find all mp3 in the device. It works on Nexus 4.
index.html
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" id="ulsongs">
</ul>
index JavaScript:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
// device APIs are available
function onDeviceReady() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
}
function gotFS(fileSystem) {
FileSystem = fileSystem;
// Call to start to find all files
getFileSystem();
}
storageScript:
var FileSystem = null;
var AudioExtensions = [ '.mp3' ];// , '.wav', '.m4a' ];
var my_media = null;
function listDir(directoryEntry, level) {
if (level === undefined)
level = 0;
var directoryReader = directoryEntry.createReader();
directoryReader.readEntries(function(entries) { // success get files and
// folders
for ( var i = 0; i < entries.length; ++i) {
if (entries[i].name === '.')
continue;
if (entries[i].isDirectory) {
FileSystem.root.getDirectory(entries[i].fullPath.slice(1,
entries[i].fullPath.length), {
create : false
}, function(dirEntry) {
listDir(dirEntry, level + 1);
}, function(error) {
console.log('ERROR');
alert(error.code);
});
}
if (entries[i].isFile) {
var extension;
extension = entries[i].name.substr(entries[i].name
.lastIndexOf('.'));
if (entries[i].isFile === true
&& $.inArray(extension, AudioExtensions) >= 0) {
// Add a song to the list
$("#ulsongs").append(
"<li id='" + entries[i].fullPath + "'"
+ " data-icon=\"audio\"><a>"
+ entries[i].name + "</a></li>");
$('#ulsongs').listview('refresh');
}
}
}
}, function(error) { // error get files and folders
alert('Error. Code: ' + error.code);
});
// Action listener
$('#ulsongs li').click(function(e) {
pathsong = $(this).attr('id');
console.log('item clicked. Path: ' + pathsong);
if (typeof (pathsong) != 'undefined' && pathsong != null) {
// Stop previous song
if ((audio_status != null) && (audio_status == 2)) {
console.log('STOP AUDIO');
my_media.stop();
my_media.release();
}
// Play the audio file at url
my_media = new Media(pathsong,
// success callback
function() {
console.log("playAudio():Audio Success");
},
// error callback
function(err) {
console.log("playAudio():Audio Error: " + err);
}, status);
// Play audio
my_media.play();
}
});
}
var audio_status = null;
function status(stat) {
audio_status = stat;
}
/**

*/
function getFileSystem() {
console.log('entra getFileSystem');
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
function(fileSystem) { // success get file system
var sdcard = fileSystem.root;
sdcard.getDirectory('', {
create : false
}, function(dirEntry) {
listDir(dirEntry);
}, function(error) {
alert(error.code);
})
}, function(evt) { // error get file system
console
.log('ERROR GETTING FILE SYSTEM'
+ evt.target.error.code);
});
}
I create a list of mp3.
I use jQuery and jQueryMobile
Edit
The process may need a bit of time. It is recommended to show a loading popup.

android - phonegap file uploader plugin with progress bar in status bar

Anyone know a phonegap file uploader plugin with progress bar in status bar. I found one here https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/FileUploader but no progress bar and maybe it outdated (2 years ago). Anyone help?

Well, as far as I know that's the only one.
I just tried it and it doesn't work very well.
The file gets uploaded but for some reason you first get a quickly increasing progress indication. Once that reaches 100% the file is actually starting to get uploaded and you still need to wait a lot of time without any indication of progress.

it may be too late for the answer, but with the plugin file attached to the plugin dialogs you will be able to display the native progress.
The code example follows.
Cheers
function onSuccess(r) {
navigator.notification.progressStop();
console.log('success');
}
function onError(error) {
navigator.notification.progressStop();
}
var upload = function (imageURI) {
navigator.notification.progressStart('', 'Uploading image...');
var fileURL = imageURI;
var uri = encodeURI(server + "uploadPacientes.php");
var codigo = Math.floor(Math.random() * 655365456342524252);
var paciente = document.getElementById('paciente_nome');
var options = new FileUploadOptions();
options.fileKey = "file";
options.fileName = paciente + codigo + ".jpg";
options.mimeType = "image/jpg";
var headers = {
'headerParam': 'headerValue'
}
options.headers = headers;
var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.onprogress = function (progressEvent) {
if (progressEvent.lengthComputable) {
var percentual = Math.floor(progressEvent.loaded / progressEvent.total *
100);
navigator.notification.progressValue(percentual);
} else {
navigator.notification.progressValue('0');
}
}
ft.upload(fileURL, uri, onSuccess, onError, options);
}

I reply late, but I hope it helps someone in the future! Cheers
