in the Android implementation of cordova-plugin-file an exception is thrown when the device has no sd-card:

the documentation for context.getExternal... (i.e.: context.getExternalFilesDir, context.getExternalCacheDir())
tells there is NULL returned if no external storage is available

this leads to a problem for calls like this:
context.getExternalFilesDir(null).getParentFile();

context.getExternalFilesDir(null) returns null and there is a call to null.getParentFile(); which throws NullPointerException
