How would I enable my Phonegap app to download files from skydrive all of my download links are like this
https://skydrive.live.com/download.aspx?cid=631E917390CA9E25&resid=631E917390CA9E25%21403&canary=GaaNjS0DzKVQ2LJFK8DEKw4GG1Pcb7K7RD7N1fRQy38%3D9There is a button on the webpage called custom2 and that has those links. I would preferable would want to modify my java class instead of the index.html. Any help is appreciated. I have tried using a button when clicked it runs javascript but this is not working
var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var uri = encodeURI(“https://skydrive.live.com/download.aspx?cid=631E917390CA9E25&resid=631E917390CA9E25%21392&canary=GaaNjS0DzKVQ2LJFK8DEKw4GG1Pcb7K7RD7N1fRQy38%3D9”);fileTransfer.download(
uri,
filePath,
function(entry) {
console.log(“download complete: ” + entry.fullPath);
},
function(error) {
console.log(“download error source ” + error.source);
console.log(“download error target ” + error.target);
console.log(“upload error code” + error.code);
}
);Hi John,
I haven’t done that, but I noticed that the variable filePath probably hasn’t been declared/initialized causing a syntax error.
Thanks for the help. But I am still stuck with the same problem how would I download a file within the native app and save it to the android downloads folder, I am now willing to move away from skydrive as I have all of my files on my own server. So who would it be done. I have already looked on stack overflow, phonegap api and google groups but none have helped me. By the way the file is mp4 and skydrive did not work because of the https encryption. The link to the server is like http://www.mywebpage.com/video.mp4
Any help would be appreciated!Hi John-Doherty,
Can you please show us what you are doing (code used f.e.) and describe what do you think may be the problem?
Just a guess as I havent tried this and this is off the top of my head but set your mp4 as the file path:
var filePath = “http://www.mywebpage.com/video.mp4”;
Then, if you change the console.log(…) to alert(…) it will popup an alert when that comes up and let you know more of whats going on.
None of the solutions fixed it this is my final code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Downloading...</title> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="phonegap-2.7.0.js"></script> <script src="phonegap.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> // Wait for Cordova to load // document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); // Cordova is ready // function onDeviceReady() { var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer(); var filePath = "file:///android_assets/www/"; var uri = encodeURI("http://marions.net/Resources/English/English%20Movies/Movies%20Subtitles/ChapletofDivineMercysubtitles.mp4"); fileTransfer.download( uri, filePath, function(entry) { alert("download complete: " + entry.fullPath); }, function(error) { alert("download error source " + error.source); alert("download error target " + error.target); alert("upload error code" + error.code); }, false, { headers: { "Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA==" } } ); } </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>it still does not work. Thanks for all the help so far!
Not even this works as well

Hi John,
I have tested and implemented next code example in a mobione app and worked well for me. It could help you as a example to get it working: https://gist.github.com/nathanpc/2464060#file-phonegap_download_example-html-L48
