Reference issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-285
TL;DR: how can I reference in-app (inside the www folder) resources in a
cross-platform way? For example, packaged .mp3 file, for use in Media.
Some contributors recommend parsing location.href, but this is brittle and
does not work on all platforms.
My proposal: add a new constant to the LocalFileSystem object [1]
representing the application root (e.g. APPLICATION). Users could then:
function onSuccess(fileSystem) {
console.log(fileSystem.name);
}
// request the file system of the app package www folder
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.APPLICATION, 0, onSuccess,
onError);
Thoughts?
