[jira] [Created] (CB-2546) File API on Android should be async

Andrew Grieve created CB-2546:
---------------------------------

             Summary: File API on Android should be async
                 Key: CB-2546
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2546
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
            Reporter: Andrew Grieve
            Assignee: Max Woghiren
            Priority: Minor


I think this probably broke when we moved from Plugin -> CordovaPlugin.

The FileUtils functions should (all?) execute on background threads instead of on the UI thread. This is not only for performance, but also for correctness in the case of:

var f = new FileReader();
f.readAsText(blob);
f.onload = ...;


On desktop and iOS, it's fine to assign the callbacks after the call to readAsText, but on Android this currently fails.
