Cordova: Reading directories and files from SD-Card

I'm trying to read directories and files from a folder on the external SD-Card on Android. cordova.file.externalRootDirectory is returning file:///storage/emulated/0/ which is not the path of the SD-Card. Using cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getExternalSdCardDetails() I got the root path of my SD-Card but if I try to read it, it returns FileError code: 5.

Cordova Version: 9.0.0 ([email protected]) Android-API Level: 22

cordova.plugins.diagnostic.getExternalSdCardDetails(function(data) {                 
  window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(data[0].filePath + "/", 
  $scope.onFSSuccess, $scope.onError);
}, console.log);

$scope.onError is triggered returning error 5.

this.onError = function(e) {
  console.log(e);
}

Function which should create reader of SD-Card folder.

this.onFSSuccess = function(fileSystem) {
  fs = fileSystem;
  var directoryReader = fileSystem.createReader();
  directoryReader.localURL = directoryReader.localURL + $scope.dirPath;
  $scope.directoryReaderPath = directoryReader.localURL;
  directoryReader.readEntries($scope.readerSuccess, $scope.onError);
}

NOTE: i added the following lines to the config.xml

<preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" />
<preference name="AndroidExtraFilesystems" value="sdcard,cache" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Update: I tried using an absolute path. file:///storage/sdcard/0/ Still not working.
