---------------------------------

             Summary: FileTransfer.download does not support file:/// URLs on Android
                 Key: CB-2306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2306
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
            Reporter: Andrew Grieve
            Assignee: Andrew Grieve
            Priority: Minor


This was recently fixed for iOS. Likely what users want here is to use the Entry.copyTo API instead, but some have tried this, so it's worth reporting.

I started on a fix for this by mapping it to copyTo on the JS side:

    argscheck.checkArgs('ssFF*', 'FileTransfer.download', arguments);
    // Convert transfers from file:/// into File.copyTo calls.
    if ('' + (/^.*?:/.exec(source)) == 'file:') {
        var parts = /(.*)\/(.*?)$/.exec(target);
        exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "File", "copyTo", [source.slice(7), parts[1], parts[2]]);
        return;
    }


This still failed the mobile spec test though due to /android_asset/ paths not being resolved on the native side. We may want to add /android_asset/ resolution into resolveLocalFileSystemURI as well...
