Ho to everyone. I followed this tutorial to create a modal view with a pdf generated with pdfmake.
http://gonehybrid.com/how-to-create-and-display-a-pdf-file-in-your-ionic-app/
My simply question is how can i save the pdf in my local storage on in cache? I need that to send the pdf by email or open it with openfile2. I'm using Ionic and cordova.
I don't know how you code it, but I know what plugin you should use:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file
The git contains a complete documentation of the plugin so everything you could need should be there.
Sample code to write pdf file in device using cordova file and file transfer plugin:
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
if (sessionStorage.platform.toLowerCase() == "android") {
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.externalRootDirectory, onFileSystemSuccess, onError);
} else {
// for iOS
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onFileSystemSuccess, onError);
}
function onError(e) {
navigator.notification.alert("Error : Downloading Failed");
};
function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
var entry = "";
if (sessionStorage.platform.toLowerCase() == "android") {
entry = fileSystem;
} else {
entry = fileSystem.root;
}
entry.getDirectory("Cordova", {
create: true,
exclusive: false
}, onGetDirectorySuccess, onGetDirectoryFail);
};
function onGetDirectorySuccess(dir) {
cdr = dir;
dir.getFile(filename, {
create: true,
exclusive: false
}, gotFileEntry, errorHandler);
};
function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
// URL in which the pdf is available
var documentUrl = "http://localhost:8080/testapp/test.pdf";
var uri = encodeURI(documentUrl);
fileTransfer.download(uri, cdr.nativeURL + "test.pdf",
function(entry) {
// Logic to open file using file opener plugin
},
function(error) {
navigator.notification.alert(ajaxErrorMsg);
},
false
);
};
