I need to access files in a Cordova app targeting Android. I need to be able to do it by passing a URI (e.g. "file://..." or "https://...") because that's the format I need to pass an API that will open the files (Howler.js to play .mp3 files).
This seems to rule out cordova-plugin-file
, as far as I understand it. I have tried both hosting locally and remotely. I have tried installing cordova-plugin-whitelist. My config.xml contains
<access origin="*"/> <allow-navigation href="*"/>
and my html contains <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *; img-src 'self' data:"/>
.
I'm thus covering as many bases as I can find mentioned in any documentation, but no joy - permission to access the files is always denied. Suggestions much appreciated.
EDIT -------------------
In response to Eric below I have tried editing my config.xml and it is now as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
<name>HelloCordova</name>

However my build now crashes with an error message visible here

You can try to add
<preference name="AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled" value="true" />
to your config.xml, most probably a CORS issue.
