I've been trying to copy file named versions.txt from applicationDirectory to externalApplicationStorageDirectory using cordova but code fails.
here is the code
var path = cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www/Data/versions.txt";
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(path,
function gotFile(fileEntry)
{
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
function onSuccess(fileSystem)
{
var directory = new DirectoryEntry("versions.txt", path);
fileEntry.copyTo(directory, 'versions.txt',
function()
{
alert('copying was successful')
},
function()
{
alert('unsuccessful copying')
});
}, null);
},null);
Any help?
The fileEntry.copyTo somehow always gave error, so I tried the fileEntry.moveTo as below, which works well for me in copying any file from the www into say the Library folder of the iOS device.
function copyToLocation(fileName){
console.log("Copying :"+fileName);
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory+"www/"+fileName,function (fileEntry)
{
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.dataDirectory,function (directory)
{
fileEntry.moveTo(directory, 'new_fileName.txt',function(){
alert('Successful Copy!');
},
function()
{
alert('Copying Unsuccessful ');
});
},null);
}, null);
}
