A File Opener Plugin for Cordova
==========================

- Android 4+ / iOS 6+
- Cordova 3.0 or higher
Installation

cordova plugin add [url-of-the-git-repo]
Usage
------
Open an APK install dialog:
<script>
cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
'/sdcard/Download/gmail.apk',
'application/vnd.android.package-archive'
);
</script>
Open a PDF document with the default PDF reader and optional callback object:
<script>
cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
'/sdcard/Download/starwars.pdf',
'application/pdf',
{
error : function(errorObj) {
alert('Error status: ' + errorObj.status + ' - Error message: ' + errorObj.message);
},
success : function () {
alert('file opened successfully');
}
}
);

__Please Note that for properly opening a PDF file, you must already have a PDF reader (Acrobat Reader, Foxit Mobile PDF, etc. ) installed on your mobile device. Otherwise this will not work.__
