WP 8.1 not working! about cordova-plugin-file-opener2 HOT 15 CLOSED

Hi @dnwts

The WP8 part of this plugin is graciously contributed by @Gillardo and I think he might be in a better position to help you, as I can only test the Android parts. Can you please open a ticket on his fork to see if he is able to reproduce this bug?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Will do. Thanks

@pwlin Hmm, it seems i cannot add an issue there. Can you please send him a message to review this issue? I can't reach him..

I have posted a comment on the related pull request #26 (comment)

Hopefully he can help fixing this bug. I am really sorry for not being to help personally.

Hi there.

Will have a look for you. My original code was specific to an application
that I built so probably not striped something out. Will have a look as
soon as I can for you.

@pwlin no problem mate, i know you do your best and i appreciate your responsiveness 👍 although i think i should've just mentioned @Gillardo ? :)

However, i think there's a chance we'll be aborting the FileTransfer -> FileOpener2 route for downloading and opening files, and we'll just open the download URL's in the system browser, as it's also much faster than FileTransfer at downloading stuff.

So basically, if i have my http://server.com/path/to/file.doc uri in a uris variable, i'll do:

await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(uri));

And this currently seems to work ok on WP8.1 but then again i only tested with a couple of documents. I'm also leaving on a week long holiday so we'll see after that, i'll come back with findings.

Cheers

Oh, hi @Gillardo :) Thanks! It would be great for this to work in case my workaround fails or gets rejected by the client :)

What file path are u using to open the file?

On the previous (wp8.0) version it was only using the file name, so that's what i was sending (just the file name) and it used to be like this:

var fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(args[0]);
[...]
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file = await local.GetFileAsync(fileName);

I listed the local folder and my file is getting there, but now this line

StorageFile file = await Windows.Storage.StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(args[0]);

tells me the path is invalid. I'll try to play with the paths, maybe that's what's wrong. If you can't reproduce the issue, don't worry about it and i'll test it more thoroughly when i get back from my holiday. Thank you very much for looking into this 👍

Oh that's easy.

U need to pass in the full path for windows 8.1 and thus windows phone 8.1
as because u can use it on a pc the file could be anywhere.

Maybe I could add a setting to search in the local folder first and if not
found, then search for file.

But for now, if u pass in the full path it will work.

What would be the full path? Maybe this?

String fullPath = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.Path + "/" + fileName;

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Yes but think u need to use \ instead of /.

On windows 8.1 machine it is something like c:....

Hey @Gillardo Thanks for your help :)

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Hi there, i'm back :)

I tried what @Gillardo suggested but it didn't work. I don't think it's because of your code though, given it's working on your end, but more because of our possibly sloppy upgrade (it was kinda hectic). But, since WP8.1 didn't deliver the promised debugging capabilities and also introduced another bug which was a deal breaker and we simply couldn't fix (unrelated, some keyboard issue), we decided to revert to WP8.0 and we've got it working fine.

@pwlin @Gillardo Thank you very much for your help :)
