Hey guys,
I am using custom build ngCordova for use with files.
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
It throws the following error:
ReferenceError: FileTransfer is not defined
at Object.downloadFile (file:///android_asset/www/js/ng-cordova.js:195:32)

at HTMLButtonElement.eventHandler (file:///android_asset/www/lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js:10477:5) (17:36:57:458 | error)
I have both FileTransfer and file plugin installed.
$cordovaFile.downloadFile(source, filePath, true)
.then(function (result) {
console.log("Hurray "+result)
}, function (err) {
console.log("Oh bummer");
}, function (progress) {
// constant progress updates
});
Any ideas what might be causing the angular not to find the FileTransfer plugin?
+1 I’m having the very same issue. Have you found a solution yet?
Is this error happening on app loading, or after clicking on a button or some other interaction ?
I created a new project, reinstalled the plugins, rebuilt the app and it’s working now. Thanks anyway!
[EDIT]https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer ), which is not explicitly mentioned on the ngCordova documentation page.

Im calling the ng-cordova plugin on button click. i’ll try your solution and let you know . SInce i am using Netbeans ide i dont include the cordova.js file and i add the cordova plugins throught the interface. Not sure if that could be a reason.

Maybe You are missing the phonegap plugin? Please take a look at this similar Stack Overflow question:Stack overflow link
This is included in my config.xml:
<feature name="File">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.file.FileUtils" />
<param name="onload" value="true" />
</feature>
<feature name="FileTransfer">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.filetransfer.FileTransfer" />
</feature>
And this is my build output:

I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy…
Try going to plugins then delete android.json and ios.json which ever exists then build again and try.
I finally found the problem… I had to execute the code after device is ready. Newbie problems haha.
Hey DerrickRoccka,
How exactly did you sort this? I have the same issue and can’t seem to fix it even during the device ready stage.
Thanks
First backup your www directory in another directory outside the project. Then delete then entire thing.
ionic start [Your Project Name] blank
cd [Your Porject Name]
npm install cordova
ionic platform add android
ionic pludin add [file plugin url]
ionic plugin add [file transfer plugin url ]
Then check in your plugins directory that all the plugin folders exist.

ionic build android
Then check in your plugins directory that all the plugin folders exist.
Also test your app on a mobile device or an emulator and not in the browser.
Sorry for a need of a second post but my hand slipped
hi tutchmedia! I’m sorry to reply so late. I did not realize. I just tried, nothing else. Could we have different issues then?
Have you solved it?
Cheers!
For those using ngCordova, you can file the file transfer plugin url here:http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/fileTransfer/
Hope this helps those still encounter issue uploading
I found a solution.
As others have mentioned, and after making sure the File and FileTransfer plugins were properly installed, I removed my android platform, re-added it, built it, and then tested on the device with success.
.
ionic platform remove androidionic platform add androidionic build androidionic run (assuming you have a device plugged in to your pc so “ionic run” will load the app on your device)
Hope this can help someone.
