This has been asked several times, but most of these questions are unanswered
I'm downloading a file like below, and it seems to work fine. However .. it does not show up in the iOS, ehm, gallery. That is, in the 'photos' application.
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var encurl = encodeURI(url);
var filename = url.split('/').slice(-1)[0];
var filepath = "foo/"+filename;
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function (fileSystem) {
var syspath = fileSystem.root.toURL() + '/' + filepath;
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
fileTransfer.download(
encurl,
syspath,
function (entry) {
foo.debug("Download success "+syspath);
},
function (error) {
foo.error("Download failed with error "+error.code+' '+syspath);
}
);
}, function (evt) {
foo.error("Filesystem failed with error "+evt.target.error.code);
});
and the result is
[Log] Download success file:///var/mobile/Applications/68DE0AD9-FBD2-4D82-92C0-2B7634B218D5/Documents//foo/20141030-153810-editor.jpg (console-via-logger.js, line 173)
hurray. now, how do you open the download, using just your fingers, on ios ?
I would mark this as a duplicate of Phonegap - Save image from url into device photo gallery
I was happy with the answer by M165437 and my comments. That answered my question.
