Question

I’ve tried to open local PDFs stored in the www/Documents folder in my XCode project. The code I put in .js file is:

Cordova.exec("ChildBrowserCommand.showWebPage", "file:///www/Documents"+pdf );

Where pdf is the name of the file, which changes for every file. It works fine on the simulator but it doesn’t work on device. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

I am using below function to load files in childbrowser, it creates the correct local url in case you want to load the internal files:

function loadChildBrowser(isInternal, URL) { 
        if(isInternal){ 
                var strPath = window.location.href; 
                var path = strPath.substr(0,strPath.lastIndexOf('/')) + URL; 
                cb.showWebPage(encodeURI(path)); 
        } 
        else{ 
                cb.showWebPage(URL); 
        } 
} 

Edit

Try this for your case:

    function loadChildBrowser(isInternal, URL) { 
            if(isInternal){ 
                    var strPath = window.location.href; 
                    var path = strPath.substr(0,strPath.lastIndexOf('/')) + URL; 
                    Cordova.exec("ChildBrowserCommand.showWebPage", encodeURI(path) ); 
            } 
            else{ 
                    Cordova.exec("ChildBrowserCommand.showWebPage", URL ); 
            } 
    }
