cordova-ourcodeworld-filebrowser Plugin

A cordova implementation of NoNonsense-FilePicker for Android.

This plugin allow you to select folder and files, and at the same time create folders and create files (not a file is created actually, but it will return the filepath and name of the "choosen path").

Installation

Install the plugin

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/ourcodeworld/cordova-ourcodeworld-filebrowser.git

After installing the plugin, remember that the targetSdkVersion of cordova needs to be less than 24 e.g in Cordova 9.0.1, you need to specify inside the config.xml file of your project:

<platform name="android">
    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />
    <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="23" />
</platform>

Usage

A global object OurCodeWorld.Filebrowser will be available in your window. This object offers a file picker, folder picker, mixed folder and file picker and the file creation dialog.

// Single file selector
window.OurCodeWorld.Filebrowser.filePicker.single({
    success: function(data){
        if(!data.length){
            // No file selected
            return;
        }

        // Array with filepaths
        // ["file:///storage/emulated/0/360/security/file.txt", "file:///storage/emulated/0/360/security/another-file.txt"]
    },
    error: function(err){
        console.log(err);
    }
});

// Single folder selector
window.OurCodeWorld.Filebrowser.folderPicker.single({
    success: function(data){
        if(!data.length){
            // No folders selected
            return;
        }

        // Array with paths
        // ["file:///storage/emulated/0/360/security", "file:///storage/emulated/0/360/security"]
        console.log(data);
    },
    error: function(err){
        console.log(err);
    }
});
