cordova - save file into app sandbox

[Giovanni_S_]

Hi,

I' would like to save files into the app sandbox using Cordova Api.

I tried to use:

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fileSystem){ gotFS(fileSystem}, fail); 

function gotFS(fileSystem)

{

var entry=fileSystem.root;

}

But I discovered the "entry" variable points to public External Storage in Android, possible? where does the error came up?

And in iOS environment how i can save files persistently in app sandbox?

Thanks in advance!

I recommend that you consider the plugin-based storage options recommended by Apache Cordova at https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/cordova/storage/storage.html#plugin-based-options.

Hi Elroy,
thanks for your reply,
i looked at the link you suggested me, but it seems to be useful for saving data into DB, not files.
My goal is to persistently save files into the app sandbox.

Is there any possibility?

Thanks

Hi Elroy,

hjust use the Sqlite Plugin, if you want to store data into a database.

Well documented and works well with the XDK.

Best

I agree SQLite is a good database storage option for locally storing data in your app for persistence.
