Description

I'm using Phonegap to develop an HTML5 application for android but when I try the following code to acquire a file system:

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, fsSuccess, fsFail);
I get error code 9 i.e. INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR.

According to this source, this is caused by the lack of an SD card on the device, but my android device has 1.5GB of internal storage on it. and of course not all devices are expected to have external SD on them!
