Cordova list all files from application directory (WWW)


I am using Cordova 4.2.0 with plugins File and media. I have some mp3 files in audio folder inside www directory. I am able to play files through media plugin using path cordova.file.applicationDirectory+"www/audio/01.mp3" and trying to get all available files list using window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL but unable to do so. Please see below code always goes to fail function.

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory+'/www/audio', 
    function(dirEntry){
        alert('in');
    }, 
    fail
);

Please guide me the best way.


Solution

  • You can use this function to get all available files in www/audio/ folder

    function listDir(path){
      window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(path,
        function (fileSystem) {
          var reader = fileSystem.createReader();
          reader.readEntries(
            function (entries) {
              console.log(entries);
            },
            function (err) {
              console.log(err);
            }
          );
        }, function (err) {
          console.log(err);
        }
      );
    }
    //example: list of www/audio/ folder in cordova/ionic app.
    listDir(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www/audio/");
