Strange behavior with viewing images in dataDirectory

Ionic Native

Hi,

I’m getting some weird quirks when attempting to display images that I’m saving to the dataDirectory using the File plugin. I’m saving a photo, then storing that photo’s location and displaying it in an image tag. Everything works fine the first time through, the picture saves, I store the location, and the image shows. However, when I restart the app and try to point to that file again, nothing shows up. Here is the code I’m working with:

me.file.writeFile(cordova.file.dataDirectory, filename, data, true).then(function(result){
        console.log('file was saved');
        console.log(result);
        me.item.images.push(cordova.file.dataDirectory + filename);
        //save the inspection and go back
        me.inspectionProvider.save(me.inspection).then(ins => {
          me.navCtrl.pop();
        })
        
      }).catch(function(err){
        console.log("Could not save photo");
        console.log(err);
        me.toastCtrl.create(
        {
            message: "Could not save photo", 
            position: "bottom",
            duration: 2000
        }
        ).present();
      })

The resulting images array looks something like this:

["file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/xxx-xxx-xxx/Library/NoCloud/b1ca377b-3003-0b43-bc80-0c9c9ba04d85.jpg"]

I’ve confirmed that the array contents don’t change across restarts, and I’ve verified that the file is indeed there. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks
