I am trying to access the file I downloaded with fileTransfer plugin into the externalDataDirectory, I can see the file there from my file manager . When I console log the return full path of the file I am able to see something like this

file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<my-app-id>/files/<my-files>

but then when I try to preload the file audio.native like this

      this.nativeAudio.preloadComplex('uniqueId', this.file.externalRootDirectory+`${myPath}`, 1, 1, 1).then(this.onPreloadSucess, this.onPreloadError);

I got a not found exception because a www was prepended to the path like this

www/file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<my-app-id>/files/<my-files>

I also try to resolve the path, but got the same result.

How do I handle this.
