File permission in Phonegap

Question

I am using this approach to try to download a file. But at the 'getFile' call, all I am getting is the error code 9, what should be a permission error.

I am using build.phonegap.com to build my app. In the config file I added the plugins and permissions.

    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.file" />
    <gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.file-transfer" />
    <feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/file"/>

The phonegap version is 3.1.0. What I am doing wrong?

I believe your not suppose to use getFile but the call (readAsText)

Example code below:

function win(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function (evt) {
    console.log("read success");
    console.log(evt.target.result);
};
reader.readAsText(file);
 };

 var fail = function (error) {
console.log(error.code);
  };

entry.file(win, fail);

See Phonegap API docs for more info: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_file_file.md.html#FileReader
