Norman,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Sorry, I should have mentioned it before. I already check permission for
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
cordova-plugin-android-permissions 1.1.2
Below is sample code:
I get the alert "has permission". From what I understand
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is granted by default. You don't need to request it. I
still can only read the .png files and not my pattern files.
testPermissions: function () {
var permissions = cordova.plugins.permissions;
permissions.hasPermission(permissions.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
function (status) {
if (status.hasPermission) {
// Permission has been granted previously, no need to
request it again.
alert("has permission"); // I get this alert
//movePatFiles.testfile1();
} else {
var error = function () {
// Permission has been denied. This example just logs
warning,
// make sure to handle this state in your application UI
- e.g.
// inform your user that you can't open the PDF without
their permissions or similar.
console.warn('External storage permission has been
denied');
};
var success = function (status) {
if (!status.hasPermission) {
// Permission has been denied.
error();
} else {
// Permission has been granted, present the document.
//presentDocument();
alert("got permission 2");
//movePatFiles.testfile1();
}
};
// Request the permission to read files from external
storage.
permissions.requestPermission(permissions.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
movePatFiles.moveSuccess, movePatFiles.moveFail);
}
})
},

undercordova.file.externalRootDirectory for Android 11 (#494)
If you're app has the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission granted, in my
testing reading from external storage works, however some APIs did not attempt
to request permission. Reading directories was one of those methods. I have an
open PR that corrects this specific issue, but not sure if that covers all
cases for external storage. You can try applying that PR to see if it addresses
your issue. Note that any app that has been prompted for external storage
permissions but been previously denied may result in an automatic denial of the
permission, in which case the user must navigate to the permission settings
themselves to enable the permission.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission isn't always necessary for reading files in
external storage, but it is necessary when reading files that doesn't belong to
your app. I believe anything outside of your application's external data
directory is considered not own by your app (with the exception of the
predefined MediaStore containers, which has some special rules).
