I'm developing cordova(with ionic framework) mobile application for both iOS and Android platforms and I need to get download file into device and open it in default applications.(ex: download pdf and open it using pdf viewer). so, here I use two plugins(cordova cordovaFileTransfer, cordova cordovaFileOpener2 ) for download file and open that file in default application. using those plugins I manage to download file(file with url) and open it. but need to give file URL to cordovaFileTransfer plugin. In my situation file data came as a response(http.POST) and response is a data stream.. %PDF-1.5↵%����↵1 0 obj↵ here is my existing code(use url of pdf to download) var url = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/angularjs/angularjs_tutorial.pdf"; var targetPath = cordova.file.externalRootDirectory + "downloadFile.pdf"; $cordovaFileTransfer.download(url, targetPath, {}, true).then(function (result) { console.log('Success'); $cordovaFileOpener2.open( '/sdcard/tokenApp/angularjs_tutorial.pdf', // Any system location, you CAN'T use your appliaction assets folder 'application/pdf' ).then(function() { console.log('Success'); $ionicLoading.hide(); }, function(err) { console.log('An error occurred: ' + JSON.stringify(err)); }); }, function (error) { console.log('Error'); }, function (progress) { // PROGRESS HANDLING GOES HERE console.log('Downloading..'); }); });` using above code I can not download file (because file came as a data stream).How can I download file using that stream.....?? after that I tried to create blob object and then open it in InAppBrowser. but that give me a blank window. this is code for that.. var file = new Blob([response], {type: 'application/pdf'}); $scope.fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file); window.open($scope.fileURL, '_blank'); I would really appreciate any idea/bunch of code/whatever that helps me with this. Thank you..
