I'm currently trying on a cordova test project that contains the download of a file to play on the music player afterwards. Basically the application should download a .mp3 file from my server and save it in the application storage or a user defined path (folder-select). As of now, i'm successfully downloading the file, i am able to select the custom path and to play the music files in the File Explorer app but somehow they are not showing up in the Music Player application or elsewhere. Also, even if i have defined external access in the config files, i can no write files to the sdcard. My current code to access the Filesystem looks like the following:
app.log('Filesystem', 'Requesting filesystem...');
if (device.platform.toLowerCase() == "android") {
app.log('Filesystem', 'Detected android device...');
if(window.saveInMusic && window.musicPath){
app.log('Filesystem', 'Selected storage persistent SD');
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(window.musicPath, app.gotFS, app.fsFail);
} else {
app.log('Filesystem', 'Selected storage persistent Internal');
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.externalRootDirectory, app.gotFS, app.fsFail);
}
} else {
app.log('Filesystem', 'No device detected...');
app.log('Filesystem', 'Selected storage DEFAULT (sandbox)');
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, app.gotFS, app.fsFail);
}Somehow, all the cordova.file.external* directorys are null (like mentioned in the plugins md file) and the externalRootDirectory is returning "storage/emulated/0/appdir" (should return sdcard path). I have checked the permissions in config.xml and AndroidManifest.xml which look like the following:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

},I have already searched trought many stackoverflow pages and docs but i did not come up with any solution. I have installed the latest cordova 6.5 and also updated all plugins to the latest stable release. I'm happy for any advise.
Update: To be more clear, the user of the application should be able to use the downloaded media files as he is used to and not to manage and open them throught the app.
