PhoneGap/Cordova for android file plugin error code 1

I am using phonegap and i want to access a file located at www/res from an android device but it's throwing NOT_FOUND_ERR... I'm sure the file it's located there and here it's the code I wrote:

onDeviceReady: function(){
    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www/res/myfile.txt", app.gotFile, app.fail);
},

gotFile: function(fileEntry){
    fileEntry.file(function(file){
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onloadend = function(e) {
            alert(this.result);
        }

        reader.readAsText(file);
    });
},

fail: function(e){
    console.log("Error reading");
    console.log(e.code);
}

The code it's super simple yet I can't see what's wrong with it!

The local URL cordova.file.applicationDirectory works for iOS but not Android. You will have to iterate through the cordova.file.dataDirectory until you find the /res directory as a child of the GUID-named app directory.

Try the following:

var dirEntry = function (entry) {
    var dirReader = entry.createReader();
    dirReader.readEntries(
        function (entries) {
            $.each(entries, function (n, i) {
                if (i.isDirectory === true) {
                    if (i.nativeURL.indexOf('www/res') > -1) {
                        //found the target /res directory
                        var path = i.nativeURL + '/myfile.txt';
                        window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(path, app.gotFile, app.fail);
                        return false; //no need to iterate more
                    } else {
                        // Recursive -- call back into this subdirectory
                        dirEntry(i);
                    }
                }
            });

        },
        function (error) {
            console.log("readEntries error: " + error.code);
        }
    );
};

var dirError = function (error) {
    console.log("getDirectory error: " + error.code);
};

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.dataDirectory, dirEntry, dirError);

I could try the code you have given. It works fine if you change the function name resolveLocalFileSystemURL to resolveLocalFileSystemURI, at least for me. You can see PhoneGap documentation

You can try to use relative path. Of course it depends on where the code you stated in the question is located. I assume this code is inside default phonegap index.js file whose directory is 'www/js/index.js'. Relative path to txt file would be '../res/myfile.txt'.

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL("../res/myfile.txt", app.gotFile, app.fail);
