Cordoba / Phone saver: run the FileTransfer plugin in the background thread

Question

I saw an old unresolved question: Run PhoneGap FileTransfer in the background thread?

Is there any news on this topic?

I use Cordova 3.4.0 with the FileTransfer plugin, and when I upload the file, the user interface starts to lag far behind iOS devices, where the gif download freezes all the time

Is there an alternative plugin for downloading files smoothly?

Answer 1

I just checked the release notes for file transfers. The problem was fixed in the latest build:

0.4.3 (April 17, 2014)

... CB-5175: [ios] CDVFileTransfer ( № 24)...

CDVFileTransfer.m, .

[delegate.connection start];

// Downloads can take time
// sending this to a new thread calling the download_async method
dispatch_async(
               dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, (unsigned long)NULL),
               ^(void) { [delegate.connection start];}
