how to download file in ionic and cordova with file transfer ( read only file system Error )

i'm new in cordova and ionic

i want to download audio file from server

my ionic version is : 1.7.14

my cordova version is : 6.1.1

my android version is : 6 ( I use encrypt mode )

here is my code : 

$scope.DownloadFile = function (url, filename) {

 var ft = new FileTransfer();
   var source = encodeURI('http://' + url + filename);
   var targetPath = cordova.file.documentsDirectory + filename;//change path as you need
   var trustHosts = true;//optional
   var options = {};//optional
   ionic.Platform.ready(function () {//device prepared
     ft.download(source, targetPath, function (entry) {
       alert('success' + JSON.stringify(entry));
     }, function (err) {
       alert(url + filename);
       alert(JSON.stringify(err));
     }, trustHosts, options);
   });
}

I get this result : 

{"code":1 , "source":"http://sedaban.com/sedaban/users/json/app/mobile/download/146012022293952.mp3","target":"null146012022293952.mp3","http_status":200,"body":null,"exception":"/null146012022293952.mp3:open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)"}

cordova.file.documentsDirectory is not valid for Android.

This is the description mentioned in cordova file plugin github - "cordova.file.documentsDirectory - Files private to the app, but that are meaningful to other application (e.g. Office files). Note that for OSX this is the user's ~/Documents directory. (iOS, OSX)"

Try out cordova.file.externalDataDirectory or cordova.file.externalRootDirectory for Android. Hope it helps
