Nikita Matrosov commented on CB-12827:
--------------------------------------

[~MrShakes], you need to use {{cordova.file.cacheDirectory}} rather than {{cordova.file.cache}} (see docs https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#where-to-store-files)

> I'm using ngCordova cordova-plugin-file to try to read an image that I then want to convert to bytes. I actually want to read it as dataURL and I'm getting an error.
> /* The image is located at file:///data/data/com.xxx.housekeeping/cache/tmp_Screenshot_2017-04-27-09-30-42-1816635709.png on an Android device */
> `$cordovaFile.readAsText(cordova.file.cache, "tmp_Screenshot_2017-04-27-09-30-421403920141.png")
>       .then(function (success) {
>         // success
>         console.log(success);
>       }, function (error) {
>         // error
>         console.log(error);
>       });`
> I tried using both readAsText and readAsDataURL but I get
> `Wrong type for parameter "uri" of resolveLocalFileSystemURI: Expected String, but got Undefined.`
> as an error. This is on an Android device.
