Can't get access to the root directory phonegap

Question

Currently I am working a project where I have to get access to the Music directory which can be found in the Root. I am trying to get the directory with the Phonegap/Cordova plugin: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file

I tried many things and I did research on Google but couldn't find anything good.. Here is my code:

/* THIS IS PLACED IN THE onDeviceReady FUNCTION! */        
window.requestFileSystem(window.TEMPORARY, 1024*1024, onFileSystemSuccess, function(e) { alert("Something went wrong.."); });
alert( "5" );
/*************************************************/

    function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
        alert("6"); // just for testing
        fileSystem.root.getDirectory("Music", {}, getDirSuccess, function(e) { alert("Doesn't work"); } );
    }

    function getDirSuccess(dirEntry) {
        alert("7");
        var directoryReader = dirEntry.createReader();
        directoryReader.readEntries(readerSuccess,fail);
    }

can you give me screenshot of the file location you want to open ? — solimanware, Feb 23 '16 at 21:48

Hmm... you might want to try window.resolveLocalFilesystemURL() instead of window.requestFilesystem() if you're looking to read the filesystem.

I've got a sample routine that iterates through a bunch of directories here: How to get documents in an android directory that PhoneGap will see. It might help narrow your search.

I fixed it by using windows.resolveLocalFileSystemURL() instead of window.requestFilesystem(). – 247errorsnl Feb 24 '16 at 12:08
