I have been trying to upload a (zip) file to a remote server programmatically using Phonegap in Android mobile. I have tried the FileAPI documentation and the solution found here. But it doesn't seem to work. However I could successfully upload an image (using the camera and navigator) as described in the examples.
I have a file test.zip in a folder test in the SD Card. I need to upload this file to a remote server.
Any help regarding this would be great.
I got it working, here is the code that I used
uploadFile('test.zip', 'Test', 'multipart/x-zip'); function uploadFile(fileName, dirName, fileMime) { var win = function(r) { console.log("Code = " + r.responseCode); console.log("Response = " + r.response); console.log("Sent = " + r.bytesSent); alert(r.response); }; var fail = function(error) { alert("An error has occurred: Code = " = error.code); }; var fileURI; var gotFileSystem = function(fileSystem) { fileSystem.root.getDirectory(dirName, { create : false }, function(dataDir) { fileURI = dataDir.fullPath; fileURI = fileURI + '/' + fileName; alert(fileURI); var options = new FileUploadOptions(); options.fileKey = "file"; options.fileName = fileURI.substr(fileURI.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); options.mimeType = fileMime; var params = new Object(); params.value1 = "test"; params.value2 = "param"; options.params = params; var ft = new FileTransfer(); ft.upload(fileURI, // Enter the server url "http://example.com/upload.php", win, fail, options); }, dirFail); }; // file system fail var fsFail = function(error) { alert("failed with error code: " + error.code); }; // get file system to copy or move image file to window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFileSystem, fsFail); var dirFail = function(error) { alert("Directory error code: " + error.code); }; }
