Description

I'm using ngCordova cordova-plugin-file to try to read an image that I then want to convert to bytes. I actually want to read it as dataURL and I'm getting an error.

/* The image is located at file:///data/data/com.xxx.housekeeping/cache/tmp_Screenshot_2017-04-27-09-30-42-1816635709.png on an Android device */

`$cordovaFile.readAsText(cordova.file.cache, "tmp_Screenshot_2017-04-27-09-30-421403920141.png")
.then(function (success)

{ // success console.log(success); }

, function (error)

{ // error console.log(error); }

);`

I tried using both readAsText and readAsDataURL but I get

`Wrong type for parameter "uri" of resolveLocalFileSystemURI: Expected String, but got Undefined.`

as an error. This is on an Android device.
