File Plugin

Details
File Plugin lets you manage files and folders on a mobile device within the app sandbox.
Read more

This plugin implements a File API allowing read/write access to the files in the folders within the application. I.e., each application has a sandbox and a set of folders accessible in that sandbox.

Functionality includes:

  • List, create and delete directories
  • List, read, create and delete files
  • Obtain URIs for file and directories


Note: This plugin does not provide root access.


MABS Compatibility

The latest version (4.0.0) of File Plugin is compatible with the supported MABS versions available: 

  • MABS 11

  • MABS 10

Release notes (4.0.0)

The new File Plugin version has major changes in the internal structure, as well as changes in the client actions, and has added functionality.

We recommend generating a new mobile package and testing your app after updating to this version.

If your app uses the File Transfer Plugin, we recommend updating it to the latest version as well.

      • Deprecated existing client actions of the plugin in favor of new ones created in this version.
