Is there any example or program as how to upload a file in my Mobione application to my server. I would like to have a webservice written c# which accepts uploaded files from mobione.

You can use PhoneGap/Cordova API for file transfers

Thank you for your answer. I am reading the example. The other question I have is how can I display a dialog box to search my mobile device for a file. Like File open dialog.
-Thanks

It depends on the file, if its a image file from the camera roll you can use this:

I dont think most devices support just a file browsing dialog, but not 100 percent sure.

Thanks Brandon, now I have coded the sample and when I use simulation in the end it comes up with a very unexpected dialog as attached. Any idea what it is?

Hi shahin,

That looks like a bug in the simulator, we have seen it in the past when an exception is not handled properly. Please share a small sample project that demonstrate the issue so we can investigate it.

I was under the impression that the PhoneGap/Cordova File API did to work in the simulator, hence the error.

Am I doing anything wrong? How can I fix it?

Hello. I also need to “upload” a text file toward my server and I am having the say guy talking about “chessburger”

I am pretty sure my server is able to receive a text file send as a stream from a client app. Working like a charm from a C# test client application

But Impossible from the emulator to have the Cordova “upload” function working

Any one from you that has success using it or could gives tips to make this working?
waiting to ear from you

Many thanks

Looks like file xfer API is not implemented. I have opened a bug on the the simulator.

Thanks a lot Wayne

I have good news because running a real machine, the upload is working like a charm
That will be definitely great to have it working in the emulator as well

take care
