iOs wont open file

[rfcabal]

Hi Guys

I'm using this plugin to open a file which I downloaded, here is my code:

// Crear nueva transferencia
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
// URL de descarga del archivo
var uri = encodeURI($scope.folder + filename);
// Ruta de donde se descargará el archivo
var filePath = cordova.file.documentsDirectory + filename;

// Descarga de archivo
fileTransfer.download(
uri,
filePath,
function(entry) {

    console.log("download complete: " + entry.toURL());

    // Cambio de estado a descargado
    $scope.download = 2;

    // Abrir el archivo en APP
    cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.showOpenWithDialog(

        cordova.file.documentsDirectory + filename, // Dirección de arhivo la misma que descarga
        'application/pdf', // Tipo MIME del archivo para relacionarlo con aplicaciones
        {
            error: function(e) {
                console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);
            },
            success: function() {
                console.log('file opened successfully');
            }
        }
    );

},
function(error) {
    // Estado de archivo no descargado.
    $scope.download = 3;
    // Error en consola.
    console.log("download error source " + error.source);
    console.log("download error target " + error.target);
    console.log("download error code" + error.code);
},
false, {
    //headers: {
    //    "Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
    //}
}
);

It's downloading my file but once is looking for the file to open it, it does nothing.

This is the log from ios simulator

I was looking for the file in a terminal and the file exist

I saw this #2 and I use the solution but doesn't work for me

I am also running into this issue as well with 'showOpenWithDialog' in iOS. Standard open method works fine, but showopenwithdialog shows nothing. Console says file was opened successfully nevertheless. showOpenWithDialog works perfectly on Android.

What I've tried: file-opener2 ver 2.0.19 on actual iPad Mini.
My file path is: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/499541BB-838D-4E9B-8C21-DF23BBE24FB0/Documents/Library/NoCloud/sleeping-fat-cat.jpg

I used entry.toURL(),

Tried both add/remove in config.xml , didn't fix anything in either case.

Tried both
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:path]; <--- open file success, but no showopendialog
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]; <--- error out file does not exist

Anyone found a fix or alternative to this issue ?

@fpoirier1, I got it to work from the solutions on 145. It seems the dialog window is indeed showing, but the position was off screen for whatever reason.

#145

Awesome thanks !

[darylldawn]

@fpoirier1 Did #145 helped you? Or did you use another solution?

Thanks!
