Hi, @flycoders_sourav you are getting any error?

3

no am not getting any error

if you are using android platform use externalDataDirectory,

this.file.externalDataDirectory;

if you are using ios platform use documentsDirectory,

this.file.documentsDirectory;

its also not working bellow my code


  let targetPath = this.file.documentsDirectory;
  alert("hello")
    this.file.createDir(targetPath,'video',true)
 .then((res) => console.log('createDir video res',res))
 .catch((err) => console.log('createDir video err',err));

const fileTransfer: FileTransferObject = this.transfer.create();
 const url =   "http://demo.com/sourav/videostatus/wp-content/uploads/2014/12d/SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4";
var URL = encodeURI(url);
  fileTransfer.download(URL, this.file.externalDataDirectory +'video/'+ 'SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4',true).then((entry) => {
    console.log('download complete: ' + entry.toURL());
  }, (error) => {

ok, build your app in android or ios device and check.

I think your code is right but you need to check in real device and check your downloaded file in this path 'file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/your_app_name/files/video/SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4'
