How to read file in android using PhoneGap Javascript

Question

How can you read a file in Android using PhoneGap and Javascript? I tried several snippets of code given at different sites but failed to do so. Actually I am a beginner and know very little about Phonegap. I also tried FileReader function but don't know where to put the file which will be readed by this function.

Answer 1

The FileWriter full example at http://docs.phonegap.com is designed to work with the FileReader full example. FileWriter writes readme.txt and FileReader reads it back in.
