sveta-wl opened a new issue #255: checkFile doesn't see files on external SD card
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/255
 
 
   Hi guys,
   
   I have a problem with File plugin using it in Ionic 3 project. Could you please help me?
   
   When I call `checkDir()`, `listDir()` or `checkFile()` with:
   - absolute SD card path like this one: `/storage/sd-card-id/Android/data/app-id/files` (the path I use to store files with FileTransfer plugin) I receive `ENCODING_ERR`, 
   - using a path like this one `file:///storage/sd-card-id/Android/data/app-id/files` cause no errors by checking folders, but it doesn't see any files, so I receive `NOT_FOUND_ERR` by `checkFile()`.
   
   I also added these preferences in the `config.xml`
   ```
   <preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Internal" />
   <preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" />
   <preference name="AndroidExtraFilesystems" value="files,files-external,documents,sdcard,cache,cache-external,assets,root" />
   ```
   and provide dynamic access request for the data storage. So the fileTransfer plugin, for example, works fine in the app and stores files on the SD card. 
   
   As far as I can see the value of `cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory` (and other external path variables) is `/storage/emulated/0/path/to/file` but not the real path. 
   
   How can I access the files on a SD card using this plugin?
