Answer 1

you can get it from cordova File plugin.

$cordovaFile.checkFile(uri, '')
.then(function(entry) {
    // success
    var name = entry.name;

    entry.file(function(data) {
        // get mime type
        var mime = data.type;
        alert(mime);
    })

}, function(error) {
    // error
    // show toast
});
