$cordovaFileOpener2.open - showing sharing options - IOS issue about cordova-plugin-file-opener2 HOT 19 CLOSED

Which version of plugin are you using? I recently upgraded the plugin to 2.0.0

Are you using the latest version?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

I am using
"name": "cordova-plugin-file-opener2",
"version": "2.0.0",

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

I have the exact same issue. Could this be because all the cordova.file.* locations provided are private. Which means that while the image can be saved and shared, it cannot be directly opened. Sounds a bit weird, but hey - that's iOS most of the times.

Also - I just checked and if you stored it in application specific folder in android, it doesn't work there either. I think that this is a permissions issue.

@ashishsingh16 - I have the exact same scenario and I've looked at a couple of options - one is using the inAppBrowser plugin (this plugin is able to access the image it gets scaled weirdly at least for me).

The other option is simply to use HTML to display the image with a pinch to zoom option on the same page itself.

Use fileEntry.toURL(). Will that solve your problem?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Same issue here. This is the snippet of code that used to work before iOS update:

cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
                filePath, 
                'application/pdf',
                {
                    error: function (e) {
                        console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);

                    },
                    success: function () {
                        console.log('file opened successfully');
                    }
                }
        );

any idea?

What is the value of filePath?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

filePath value is like this:

file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/96AB1E9D-A011-46DD-B774-9AA572FBB80C/Library/NoCloud/(05)@motion_Luglio_2009.pdf

It's generated this way:

var filePath = getFS() + theFileName;

Go to FileOpener2.m file and at line 50, change:

fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:path];

to:

fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

Does that help?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

On my code the situation was the opposite than you described (since my plugin version is outdated).

In line 50 there was

        fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

that i changed to

        fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:path];

Now its working again.
I just noticed that i'm using version 1.0.11 (did't update for a while).

Now, i'll try tu upgrade and check what does happen.

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

i Update the plugin to the latest version (that is using fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:path];), and everything works fine. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your support.

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Ok glad you resolved your issue. good luck.

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

I'm experiencing the same problem. It does not matter whether I use [NSURL URLWithString:path] or [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path].

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

@Tobiaswk I also tried both and the problem persists. Did you already find the solution?

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

@davidzas I did solve it. I did my own implementation; https://github.com/Tobiaswk/cordova-plugin-file-opener2

I differentiate between regular files and pdf. If the file passed is a pdf it will open it directly. I'm not sure it is what you want, but the most important thing is that it works for me now.

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

If all you need is the ability to open a PDF document, you don't even need this plugin altogether :)
You can simply use window.open("url_to_pdf_file.pdf") to open up the PDF file. Current webkit releases have built-in capabilities for previewing a PDF document without needing any third party tool.

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

Sounds great but I can't get that to work.

Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf

from cordova-plugin-file-opener2.

@Tobiaswk
First try to use it like this:

window.open('url_to_pdf_file.pdf', '_system');

(notice the _system target);

If that still doesn't work, use the official InAppBrowser plugin which is a drop-in replacement for window.open

Add it to your project and then use it like:

//re-assign window.open at load:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
    window.open = cordova.InAppBrowser.open;
}, false);
// then call window.open normally in other parts of your app:
window.open('url_to_pdf_file.pdf', '_system');

Previously it was a built-in plugin but it seems they split it now into its own repository. By the way, here is the list of all official plugins

Edit: Use _system instead of _blank
