How can i store pdf files into wp8.1 using ionic and cordova file plugin

[WPCentral Question]

Hi

I do create an hybrid app using ionic framework and cordova file and file-transfer plugin.

I point to Downloads directory . Into Android it work?s fine. Into wp8 it does not download the pdf .

i try downloading a pdf via native browser just to test it and it works it drop the file into download directory

i just call it : pdfService.downloadPdf(url, fileName);

The pdf file does not reach the downloads diretory

i do refer as : fs.root.getDirectory("Downloads",{
create: true
},
How can i make cordova fiel an file-transfer handle the download of pdf files into windows phone 8.1 ?

My code is here:

.service('pdfService', ['$ionicLoading', function($ionicLoading) {

var lastUrl;
var lastFileName

return {
setParams: function(url, fileName) {
lastUrl = url;
lastFileName = fileName;
},
getParams: function() {
return {
url: lastUrl,
fileName: lastFileName
};
},
downloadPdf: function(url, fileName) {
lastUrl = url;
lastFileName = fileName;
//var deferred = $q.defer();
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fs) {
fs.root.getDirectory("Downloads",{
create: true
},
function(dirEntry) {
dirEntry.getFile(lastFileName,
{
create: true,
exclusive: false
},
function gotFileEntry(fe) {
//console.log('gotFileEntry 1'+fe.toURL());
var p = fe.toURL();
//console.log("filepath "+p);
fe.remove();
ft = new FileTransfer();
$ionicLoading.show({
template: 'Downloading'
});
ft.download(
encodeURI(lastUrl),
p,
function(entry) { //alert('entry 1 '+entry.toURL()); //d.resolve(entry); //return d.promise;
window.open(entry.toURL(), '_system', 'location=yes,toolbar=yes,closebuttoncaption=Close PDF,enableViewportScale=yes,fullscreen=no');
$ionicLoading.hide();
},
function(error) {
alert('Error');
alert("Download Error Source -> " + error.source);
},
false,
null
);
},
function() {
alert("Get file failed");
}
);
}
);
},
function() {
alert("Get file failed"+fe.toURL());
console.log("Request for filesystem failed");
});
},
load: function(fileName) {
lastFileName = fileName; //alert("Entrou no metodo load: "+lastFileName);

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fs) {
fs.root.getDirectory(
"Downloads",
{
create: false
},
function(dirEntry) {
dirEntry.getFile(
lastFileName,
{
create: false,
exclusive: false
},
function gotFileEntry(fe) {
//alert('Metodo load gotFileEntry '+fe.toURL());//alert(' fe.toURL() '+fe.toURL()); //$scope.imgFile = fe.toURL();//alert(' scope.imgFile '+$scope.imgFile);
window.open(fe.toURL(), '_system', 'location=no,toolbar=yes,closebuttoncaption=Close,enableViewportScale=yes');
},
function(error) {
$ionicLoading.hide();
alert("Error getting file");
}
);
}
);
},
function() { //alert("Error requesting filesystem 1 ");
$ionicLoading.hide();
alert("Error requesting filesystem 2 ");
});
} //scope load
// }),
} //return
}])

Thank?s in advance

Just give up from using cordova file plugin to download and/or load pdf files and opening into the browser if someone could use cordova file into windows phone please let me know how to do it.
