Description

I am using the Media plugin to record audio. I would like to store the audio tracks in the data/data/

{PackageName}

/files folder.

Based on https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/blob/master/src/android/AudioPlayer.java#L182 the plugin is using renameTo

renameTo on Android works only if both paths are on the same mount point. ( http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html#renameTo%28java.io.File%29 )

On my Android 4.2.2 I get an error:
E/AudioPlayer( 8514): FAILED renaming /storage/emulated/0/tmprecording.3gp to /data/data/com.example.hello/files/audiofile.mp3

Android can not move the file from /storage to /data

The silly part is that moveFile method does not return false if the files can't be moved therefore the Success callback is still called.

I fixed it commenting out https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/blob/master/src/android/AudioPlayer.java#L99 and L100, L103. I am not sure which kind of implications that might cause on other devices.
