I'm using the following code to download a file (can be a PDF or a DOC) and then opening it using Linking.
const { dirs } = RNFetchBlob.fs;let config = { fileCache : true, appendExt : extension, addAndroidDownloads : { useDownloadManager : false, notification : false, title : 'File', description : 'A file.', path: `${dirs.DownloadDir}/file.${extension}`, },};RNFetchBlob.config(config) .fetch( method, remoteUrl, APIHelpers.getDefaultHeaders() ) .then((res) => { let status = res.info().status; if (status == 200) { Linking.canOpenURL(res.path()) .then((supported) => { if (!supported) { alert('Can\'t handle url: '+ res.path()); } else { Linking.openURL(res.path()) .catch((err) => alert('An error occurred while opening the file. '+ err)); } }) .catch((err) => alert('The file cannot be opened. '+ err)); } else { alert('File was not found.') } }) .catch((errorMessage, statusCode) => { alert('There was some error while downloading the file. '+ errorMessage); });
However, I'm getting the following error:
An error occurred while opening the file. Error: Unable to open URL:file:///Users/abhishekpokhriyal/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3E2A9C16-0222-40A6-8C1C-EC174B6EE9E8/data/Containers/Data/Application/A37B9D69-583D-4DC8-94B2-0F4AF8272310/Documents/RNFetchBlob_tmp/RNFetchBlobTmp_o259xexg7axbwq3fh6f4.pdf
I need to implement the solution for both iOS and Android.
