Cache file inside the application cache folder

[mtshare]

Hi i would like to cache file inside the application cache folder (cordova.file.cacheDirectory) but, when i assign this value to "localCacheFolder" i get this error:

Code ImgCacheProvider.setOptions({ debug: true, localCacheFolder: cordova.file.cacheDirectory, usePersistentCache: true });

Code "ERROR: Failed to get/create local cache directory: 5"

The probeme is that currently it stores image files in the "/storage/emulated/0/imgcache" folder and if i delete the app, the cached files are not deleted

I am looking forward to a solution for this as well.

i am getting same error as you.

What I did is I used the latest version of this package, i.e. instead of bower install --save imgcache.js I used bower install --save imgcache.js#master

The master version includes a configurable option called cordovaFilesystemRoot which I set to cordova.file.dataDirectory or cordova.file.externalDataDirectory - you can try using cacheDirectory as well.

So this is what I do when the device is ready:

ImgCache.options = {
    debug                   : true,
    localCacheFolder        : "imgCache", // name of the cache folder
    useDataURI              : false, // use src="data:.."? otherwise will use src="filesystem:.."
    chromeQuota             : 50*1024*1024, // allocated cache space : here 50MB 
    usePersistentCache      : true, // false = use temporary cache storage
    cacheClearSize          : 0, // size in MB that triggers cache clear on init, 0 to disable
    headers                 : {}, // HTTP headers for the download requests -- e.g: headers: { 'Accept': 'application/jpg' }
    withCredentials         : false, // indicates whether or not cross-site Access-Control requests should be made using credentials
    skipURIencoding         : false, // enable if URIs are already encoded (skips call to sanitizeURI)
    cordovaFilesystemRoot   : cordova.file.dataDirectory // if specified, use one of the Cordova File plugin's app directories for storage
};

ImgCache.$init();

Notice that the localCacheFolder is only the name of the last folder, which will be created in the cordovaFilesystemRoot, in my case cordova.file.dataDirectory.
