In my app the user can choose one image from gallery, this image will be used in user account and can't be accessible by gallery, so I need sabe a copy of this image into cordova.file.dataDirectory but I don't know how to get local file URI to make copy and save.
How to copy image file from local device to cordova.file.dataDirectory?
My app have a screen where user can give title and choose image using a input file.
I'm using cordova plugin file
Searching I found solution in old documentation of PhoneGap (recent docs no have this information). To copy files just use copyTo method.
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(entry){
var parent = document.getElementById('parent').value;
parentEntry = new DirectoryEntry({fullPath: parent});
// copy the file to a new directory and rename it
entry.copyTo(parentEntry, "file.copy", function(entry){
console.log("New Path: " + entry.fullPath);
}, function(error){
console.log(error.code);
});
}, null);
