Phonegap Cordova Delete File (android)

cordova, filesystems, java

Solution

I think your problem is in the way you are calling to the callback functions. This code is working for me:

console.log("remove file");
var relativeFilePath = "MyDir/file_name.png";
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fileSystem){
    fileSystem.root.getFile(relativeFilePath, {create:false}, function(fileEntry){
        fileEntry.remove(function(file){
            console.log("File removed!");
        },function(){
            console.log("error deleting the file " + error.code);
            });
        },function(){
            console.log("file does not exist");
        });
    },function(evt){
        console.log(evt.target.error.code);
});

Problem

Helo.. I'm new in phonegap.. I had a problem to delete file in android phonegap 3.4 ``` console.log(photo); window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) { fileSystem.root.getFile( photo, {create: false}, function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) { fileEntry.remove(); }, onError); }, onError); ``` Log Result 04-24 16:29:54.234: I/Web Console(16213): file:///storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1398331773136.jpg 04-24 16:49:01.989: W/System.err(18864): org.apache.cordova.file.EncodingException: This path has an invalid ":" in it. 04-24 16:49:01.994: W/System.err(18864): at org.apache.cordova.file.LocalFilesystem.getFileForLocalURL(LocalFilesystem.java:159) 04-24 16:49:01.994: W/System.err(18864): at org.apache.cordova.file.FileUtils.getFile(FileUtils.java:698) 04-24 16:49:03.664: I/Web Console(18864): 5 after search, i got this (List of Error Codes and Meanings) in doc 5 = ENCODING_ERR is file path is wrong and how to get valid path to file in sdcard ?
