{code:javascript}
function downloadFile(fileUrl, fileName) { // fileName = someFile.pdf or so
fileName = fileName.replace(/ /g, '_');
var remoteFile = encodeURI(fileUrl);
var localFileName =
fileName;//remoteFile.substring(remoteFile.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,

fileSystem.root.getFile(localFileName, {create: true,
exclusive: false}, function(fileEntry) {

> [Feature req.] How to open local files on Android filesystem?
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CB-1966

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Android, CordovaJS
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Ruben Vanhoeyveld
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: android, file, local, system
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> I'm looking for functionality to open local files on the Android file system.
> The case for me is that when I download a file, it's stored in
> /mnt/sdcard/file.ext. But I can't link to the file with file:/// or content://
> file:/// Gives me a blank white window with the text "undefined".
> content:// Does nothing.
> How can I implement some script to open files I just downloaded to the
> filesystem? (like pdf/doc/...)
> Edit:
> [~macdonst]: This is a feature request!
