Question

i have a problem with the the downloaded files in my PhoneGap-App for Android.
The download-Function from PhoneGap actually works quite well i think. It gets the file from the URL and
stores it on the SD-Card. (Code is below)

So where is the Problem? When I download a JPG or PNG to the
Download-folder, i want it be accessible through the native Gallery.
But the picture don´t appear in the gallerie. To see it I have to
restart the phone or I have to use another App like Astro.

Is there a “Refresh_the_native_Gallerie”-Function or something like that?

Thank you very much.

try {
     var filePath = 'file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/google.png'; // Correct filePath
     var url = "https://www.google.de/images/srpr/logo3w.png"; //Correct URL

     var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();

     fileTransfer.download(url, filePath, function(entry) {
         console.log("s3_download download complete: " + entry.
         // Do i need a "Refresh_all_other_Apps"-function here?
     }, function(error) {
     // Normally no Error
         console.log("s3_download download error source " + error.source);
         console.log("s3_download download error target " + error.target);
         console.log("s3_download download error code" + error.code);
     });
} catch (e) {
     console.log("downloadTest ERROR: " + e);
}

Cannot answer my own question so fast only edit my question. So here is the answer:

I wrote a little PhoneGap-Plugin, which does actually nothing more than calling the code from zapl. Thanks again. Hope it will help someone with the same problem.
