Hey, currently I am adding the plugin PdfMake ( https://ionicacademy.com/create-pdf-files-ionic-pdfmake/ ) to my app. So far, it is working perfectly in my Browser (ionic serve -c) (it´s creating and downloading the pdf), but in an APK it isn´t working. I don´t know whether it creates the pdf or no…

Just found the issue. In Fileopener´s plugin.xml, line 34 has to be changed.

console log the dataDirectory to know the path where the pdf is saving.

Okay, I printed the dataDirectory on a label, it is file://data/user/0/io.ionic.starter.files/ Using my file manager, I cant find this directory or the file. Any ideas what I should do or where I could find it??

yes, you’ll have to change the path which is “this.file.dataDirectory” in your case… try the below link: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-file/

So if I want to save it in the android documents folder, which directory should I use??

Did you read the “where to save files”?? All the options are provided there.

I just tried “this.file.documentsDirectory”, but it isn´t working either :frowning: Also in “New Data” I can´t find it. But not only this, it isn’t opening as well, so I guess he isn’t saving the file…

In that case just try “this.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory”.

And are you using it on a real device or emulator??

Okay, now I found the pdf in “file://data/user/0/io.ionic.starter.files/” by using “this.file.dataDirectory”. The problem is then, that it still isn´t opening the file after creating. I am testing on a real device with the apk
