Can't open a file after downloading it.

Hi,

I'm trying to open a file after downloading and storing it for offline purposes.
Here's my code below.

Download:
`let hasPermissions = await this.getFilesystemAccess();
if(!hasPermissions) {
resolve(false);
return;
}

        this.checkFileExists(environment.mediaPath, mediaGuid.toString(), extension).then(exists => {
            if (!exists) {
                Filesystem.downloadFile({
                    path: (environment.mediaPath + mediaGuid + "." + extension),
                    url: environment.mediaApiUrl + mediaGuid,
                    directory: Directory.Data
                }).then(x => {
                    this.errorCtrl.presentToast("downloaded?:" + (x.path ? x.path : "nope"));
                }).catch(x => {
                    this.errorCtrl.presentToast("downloaded err:" + JSON.stringify(x));
                });
                resolve(true);
            } else {
                resolve(exists ? exists : false);
            }
        });`

Open file:

let fileUri = await Filesystem.getUri({ directory: Directory.Data, path: environment.mediaPath + document.guid + "." + ext }); await FileOpener.openFile({ path: fileUri.uri }) .catch(error => this.errorCtrl.presentToast("error:" + JSON.stringify(error) + " - " + error.toString()));

Some print screens attached as well.

Using the display file methods for images it works perfectly, but when using the methods to open files or event the images that I can display it throws the error attached above.

You need to specify the sharable directories correctly, see Specify sharable directories.

I'll try, thanks for the fast replay!

Hey I've updated the paths but it doesn't work.
Before, the paths in the file_path.xml file were just a ".", and I've updated it to "files/" to match my mediaPath variable. Prints below.

What should I do now?
Thanks.

Since this is not a bug in the plugin but a misconfiguration, I recommend that you post your question on Stackoverflow. I try to spend as much time as I can on new features and bug fixes.

Also have a look at existing SO answers: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42516202/6731412
