not able to see this image into app folder.

$scope.Download = function () {
            var FileURL = appService.downloadFiles($scope.selectedFile.FileKey);
            var targetPath = cordova.file.dataDirectory + "ChatApp/" + $scope.selectedFile.FileName;
            var trustHosts = true;
            var options = {};
            $cordovaFileTransfer.download(FileURL, targetPath, options, trustHosts)
                  .then(function (result) {
                      alert('file downloaded successfully');
                      console.log(result);
                      refreshMedia.refresh(targetPath);
                  }, function (err) {                      
                      console.log(err);
                  }, function (progress) {
                      console.log(progress);                      
                  });

        };       
    }

Does it required any permission to create folder inside cordova.file.dataDirectory. How I see this file inside the internal app folder.

Do you get any error message? Does the permission resolve or reject? Does “ChatApp/” exist?

Do you have more or less this lines in your config.xml file?

<allow-navigation href="*"/>
<allow-navigation href="http://*/*"/>
<allow-navigation href="file://*/*"/>
<allow-intent href="*"/>
<access origin="*"/>

Do you have this array in the json of your ionic.project file (only needed, if you get your download path by an html response)?

 "proxies": [
    {
      "path": "/api",
      "proxyUrl": "https://www.mydomain.com/api"
    }
  ], ...

Tell me … TELL ME :wink:

In my config file

  <allow-navigation href="*"/>
<allow-navigation href="http://*/*"/>
<allow-intent href="*"/>
<access origin="*"/>

also similar setting in ionic.project file

only <allow-navigation href="file://*/*"/> this setting is not available

Then write it in your config.xml and you’ll be able to access it locally. Or is the whole file missing? Did the permission resolve or reject?

Did it help?
