[Overview]
Upload and download files in the background in your customized OutSystems Now.
[Detail]
Give the ability to your customized version of OutSystems Now to upload / download files in the background, allowing the user to continue using your application and even terminate it. It also enables your application to bypass the Android 4.4 file chooser issue.
In order to use this functionality, you'll need to customize a version of OutSystems Now (see how to customize it: http://labs.outsystems.net/OutSystemsNowDocs/OutSystemsNowOpenSource.aspx) and add the native Cordova plugins (https://github.com/sgrebnov/cordova-plugin-background-download, https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer, https://github.com/cdibened/filechooser) to your project.
This component provides webblocks to quickly enable the use of download and upload in the background functionalities.
About File Manager
This plugin provides an advanced file download functionality that persists beyond app termination, runs in the background and continues even when the user closed/suspended the application. The plugin includes progress updates and primarily designed for long-term transfer operations for resources like video, music, and large images.
