ngCordova plugins doesn't work

Hello, I have a problem with ngCordova when I run any plugin method always returns the same error .
For example in $cordovaFileTransfer.download, return “TypeError: Cannot call method ‘download’ of undefined” . Or when I use $cordovaMedia.newMedia, return return “TypeError: Cannot call method ‘newMedia’ of undefined”, no matter plugin utilize, I always return the same error.

I have the cordova plugins installed and ‘ngCordova’ injected, as indicated in the documentation and I tested it on real android device.

Can someone help me out? :weary:

…Sorry for my bad english :relaxed:

Can you share some code?

yes

this is my app.js

// Ionic Starter App

// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
var main = angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'ngCordova', 'ngSanitize'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    // Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
    // for form inputs)
    if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    }
    if(window.StatusBar) {
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });
})

main.directive('ngEnter', function () {
    return function (scope, element, attrs) {
        element.bind("keydown keypress", function (event) {
            if(event.which === 13) {
                scope.$apply(function (){
                    scope.$eval(attrs.ngEnter);
                });
 
                event.preventDefault();
            }
        });
    };
});

main.controller("Principal", ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http, $cordovaMedia, $timeout, $cordovaFileTransfer){
  $scope.searchinput = ""
  $scope.resultados = []
  $scope.spinerHTML ='<ion-spinner icon="dots"></ion-spinner>';
  var srcmp3 = ''
  var media;
  $scope.buscar = function (){
    url = 'http://192.168.0.11:8000/myapp/android/resultados/'
    $http.get(url, {params : { busqueda : $scope.searchinput }}).
        then(function(response) {
          $scope.resultados = response.data['resultados']
          console.log($scope.resultados);
        }, function(response) {
          console.log("Error");
        }
    );
    console.log($scope.resultados)
  }

  $scope.play = function (id){
    srcmp3 = "http://www.myurl.com/get/"+id;
    media = new Media(srcmp3, null, null, mediaStatusCallback); //this works
    // media = $cordovaMedia.newMedia(srcmp3); // doesn't work
    media.play();
  }

   var mediaStatusCallback = function(status) {
      if(status == 1) {
          //$ionicLoading.show({template: 'Loading...'});
      } else {
          //$ionicLoading.hide();
      }
  }

  $scope.descargar = function (id, name, artist){

 
      var url = "http://www.myurl.com/get/"+id;
      var targetPath = cordova.file.documentsDirectory + name + "-" + artist + ".mp3";
      var trustHosts = true
      var options = {};

      $cordovaFileTransfer.download(url, targetPath, options, trustHosts)
        .then(function(result) {
          // Success!
        }, function(err) {
          // Error
        }, function (progress) {
          $timeout(function () {
            $scope.downloadProgress = (progress.loaded / progress.total) * 100;
          })
        });

  }
}]);

PD: if execute cordova plugins without using ngCordova, works fine!

is your " js/ng-cordova.min.js " in right place ? last version ?

the version of ngCordova is the last v0.1.20-alpha (has been downloaded the sunday), and I think my file is in the right place…

Problem solved…

It’s necessary to make a change in the documentation of ngCordova, many examples are deprecated. I fix it, adding plugin to array injection and wrapped the call method plugin in the $ionicPlatform.ready function, for example:

main.controller("Principal", ['$scope', '$http', '$ionicPlatform','$cordovaMedia', function($scope, $http, $ionicPlatform, $cordovaMedia){
  $scope.play = function (id){
    srcmp3 = "http://www.myurl.com/get/"+id;
    $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
      var media = $cordovaMedia.newMedia(srcmp3);
      media.play();
    });
  }
}]);

It’s important keep the order of arguments and dependencies and add the plugins that you need after add platform (not before)

Sorry for my bad english , I hope helped someone
