PhotoToAlbum

Apache Cordova plugin for iOS

Note This is an old pice of code that I wrote while working on a mobile app in 2014. This repo servs mostly as and archive.

###Usage: Install plugin

cordova plugin add https://github.com/Kocik/cordova-photo-to-album-plugin/

In your javascript add:

	window.plugins.phototoalbum.download(url, successCallback, failCallback);

This works for iOS, in Android I see in my old code that I used the following:

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, fileSystemSuccess, fileSystemFail);
	
function fileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
    var directoryEntry = fileSystem.root; // to get root path to directory
    directoryEntry.getDirectory('YOUR_DIR_HERE', {create: true, exclusive: false}, onDirectorySuccess, onDirectoryFail);
    var rootdir = fileSystem.root;
    var fp = rootdir.toURL();
    fp = fp+"/YOUR_DIR_HERE/"+file_name;
    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
    fileTransfer.download(
      encodeURI(URL_TO_DOWNLOAD),fp,  
      function(entry) {
        alert("File downloaded to: " + entry.fullPath);
      },
      function(error) {
			  alert('Something went wrong. Try again later.')
      }
    );
}

This will save the photo, but will appear in the gallery only after it's refreshed, so probably after the phone is restarted.
