I am getting byte array like var byteArr=[12,-123,43,99, ...] from API, Then I am converting it into UTF-8 String by
var utf8_str = String.fromCharCode.apply([], new Uint8Array(byteArr));
Then converting UTF-8 string to Base64 string by
var base64_str= window.btoa(utf8_str);
Now I am writing UTF-8 or Base64 string to file (xyz.pdf/xyz.jpg) by FileWriter in Phonegap, but it show me blank file when open it.
function gotWriteFile(dirEntry) {
dirEntry.getFile(FILE_NAME, {create: true, exclusive: false}, gotFileWriteEntry, failWrite);
}
function gotFileWriteEntry(fileEntry) {
fileEntry.createWriter(gotFileWriter, failWrite);
}
function gotFileWriter(writer) {
writer.onwriteend = function(evt) {
console.log("File write successfully....");
hideModal();
};
writer.write(utf8_str);
//writer.write(base64_str);
}
What is solution guys.... ?
I have found solution to create file by byte array in Phonegap.
In phonegap, Text and Binary data are supported for Android and iOS to write into file. So I have convert BYTE array to BINARY array, then write by FileWriter.
var byteArr=[12,-123,43,99, ...] ;
var UTF8_STR = new Uint8Array(byteArr); // Convert to UTF-8...
var BINARY_ARR=UTF8_STR.buffer; // Convert to buffer...
Then pass 'BINARY_ARR' to FileWriter to write in file.
function gotFileWriter(writer) {
writer.onwriteend = function(evt) {
console.log("File write successfully....");
};
writer.write(BINARY_ARR);
}
Have a nice day.. :)
try this (make sure u are getting utf8_str properly):
var utf8_str = String.fromCharCode.apply([], new Uint8Array(byteArr));
var base64_str= window.btoa(utf8_str);
function writeFile() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
}
function gotFS(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getFile(FILE_NAME, {create: true}, gotFileEntry, fail);
}
function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
fileEntry.createWriter(gotFileWriter, fail);
}
function gotFileWriter(writer) {
writer.onwrite = function (evt) {
alert('done');
}
writer.write(utf8_str);
}
function fail(error) {
console.log(error.code);
}
