If i am opening here the file is actually taking to the app,but i cant able to open in the app,because i cant see in the downloads directory the file which i opened from the email attachement


Solution

  • For receiving data from other Applications to your application we need to use web-intent ,You can download the plugin from this link https://github.com/GroupAhead/cordova-plugin-webintent

    Use this code in your document device

    window.plugins.webintent.getUri(function(url) {
    if(url !== "") {
        // url is the url the intent was launched with
        $('p').html(url+"printing");
        alert("hi");
        alert(url);
    
    }
    });
    

    the url is where the intent is launched and from the url you can access the file
