The FileReader
allows basic access to a file.
EMPTY

method. (Function)NOTE: The following porperty is not supported:
progress.loaded
/progress.total
. (Function)ArrayBuffer
.The FileReader
object offers a way to read files from the device's file system. Files can be read as text or as a base64 data-encoded string. Event listeners receive the loadstart
, progress
, load
, loadend
, error
, and abort
events.
Parameters:
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function (evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsDataURL(file); }; var fail = function (evt) { console.log(error.code); }; entry.file(win, fail);
Parameters:
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function (evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsText(file); }; var fail = function (evt) { console.log(error.code); }; entry.file(win, fail);
function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function(evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsText(file); reader.abort(); }; function fail(error) { console.log(error.code); } entry.file(win, fail);
