as of now there’s no other possibility to download a file to your mobile device using the Simplifier Mobile Client besides the two options mentioned earlier by Lukas:
- Utilize the Mobile Action ‘Download file’
- (Temporarily) Upload the file to the Content Repository and use the generated download URL to open it in cordova-plugin-inappbrowser with the value ‘_system’ passed for the ‘target’ argument
The drawback of the former option is that you can only access files and display the contents within the scope of a Simplifier application as the files will be stored in a sandbox directory invisible in the device’s directory structure. The latter option on the contrary might be a bit more complex to implement and relies on scripting to some extent (e.g. when accessing the mentioned Cordova plugin). There’s already an internal feature request to improve the download capabilities for files on mobile devices, but feel free to submit your own feature request for that matter via our Ideas portal.
Kind regards,
Armin
