--------------------------------
Summary: File needs a method to get a webview-native URL from an
Entry
Key: CB-6106
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6106
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, iOS, Plugin File
Affects Versions: 3.4.0
Reporter: Ian Clelland
Assignee: Ian Clelland
I was really, really hoping to avoid having to include this in the API, but it
appears that there are some WebView interfaces (specifically {{<video>}} and
{{<audio>}} HTML tags) which cannot be made to work with {{cdvfile://}} URLs.
(See CB-6079 for the issue which triggered this revelation)
I'm going to create a method ({{toNativeURL}}) on Entry objects, inherited by
DirectoryEntry and FileEntry, which exposes a URL that can be used as a {{src}}
attribute for an HTML5 media player.
Usage:
{code}
requestFileSystem(PERSISTENT, 0, function(fs) {
fs.root.getFile("movie.mp4", {}, function(entry) {
alert(entry.toNativeURL());
document.getElementById('my-video-player').src=entry.toNativeURL();
});
});
{code}
Developers will be able to use this in all cases where they need to set the src
of an HTML audio/video tag, or in any other cases where the WebView doesn't
correctly proxy URL requests through the app.
