Cant write the data i get from a online .js file into an local file. Titanium

Question

I am new to this and want my app to get his data from a online .Js file. It gives me an error. This is my code,

var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.open("GET","http://rstandaert.createandlearn.eu/mobile_db.js");
xhr.onload = function(){
  // check status of connection to server
statusCode = xhr.status;
    //check the response code returned
    if(statusCode == 200)
    {
        var doc = this.responseText;
//write data from downloaded text file to local text file
        var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'mobile_db.js');
        f.write(doc);
    }

    };
xhr.send();
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
//---------------------local file read---------------------------------------
var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'mobile_db.js');


// read the file into contents var
//var contents = f.read();

// print out contents of file 
//Ti.API.info('contents = ' + contents.text);

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
//--------------------------end of file read--------------------------
//var content2 = f.read();
Ti.include('mobile_db.js');


//var together = new Array();

//for ( i = 0; i < niveauArray.length; i++){

    var togetherh = Titanium.UI.createLabel({

    text : niveauArray[0].niveau_title,
    font : {
        fontSize : 24,
        fontFamily : 'Helvetica Neue',
        fontWeight : 'bold'
    },
    color : 'black',
    top : '10',
    width : '100%',
    textAlign : 'center',
    height : 'auto',
    left : 'auto',
    touchEnabled : false

});

var together = Titanium.UI.createLabel({

    text : niveauArray[0].niveau_id + '  ' + niveauArray[0].niveau_desc,
    font : {
        fontSize : 12,
        fontFamily : 'Helvetica Neue'
    },
    color : 'black',
    top : '50',
    width : '85%',
    textAlign : 'left',
    height : 'auto',
    left : 18,
    touchEnabled : false

});

//}

//var viewqq = Ti.UI.createView();

var viewqq = Ti.UI.createView({
 // backgroundColor:'#336699',
  borderRadius: 10,
  top: 10,
  height: 2000,
  width: 'auto'
});

//viewqq.add(lblTitle);
//viewqq.add(together);
//viewqq.add(togetherh);

Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(viewqq);



var scrollView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({
  contentWidth: 'auto',
  contentHeight: 'auto',
  showVerticalScrollIndicator: true,
  showHorizontalScrollIndicator: false,
  height: '100%',
  width: '100%'
});


scrollView.add(viewqq);
scrollView.add(together);
scrollView.add(togetherh);
Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(scrollView);

Ti.UI.currentWindow.add(viewqq);

When i open the app and open the table(the one wich is supposed to be filled with text drawn out of the online .js file) it just remains empty.

I'll keep getting errors like:

Can anyone help me out :/?

Answer 1

you can check with filesystem object that if that file exists or not....

var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'mobile_db.js');
if(f.exists()){
   f.deleteFile();
}

then of course you need to use path instead of just use file name..

like...

Ti.include(f.nativePath);

and no need to create 2 different objects for filesystem. you can use same to write also......

var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.open("GET","http://rstandaert.createandlearn.eu/mobile_db.js");
xhr.onload = function(){
  // check status of connection to server
statusCode = xhr.status;
    //check the response code returned
    if(statusCode == 200)
    {
        var doc = this.responseText;
//write data from downloaded text file to local text file
        f.write(doc);
    }

    };
xhr.send();

Answer 2

Just replace

Ti.include('mobile_db.js');

with

Ti.include(f.nativePath);
