Description

Hi guys is there any sense in this code in FileUtils.java:

if(dirname.contains(cordova.getActivity().getPackageName()) ||
                            hasReadPermission()) {
    ....
}

dirname is always look like 'cdvfile://localhost...' this is why it never contains package name. So marshmallow will always request permissions to write to the external storage.

I'm trying to write to the cordova.file.dataDirectory folder.
