);
Open a PDF document with the default PDF reader and optional callback object:

'/sdcard/Download/starwars.pdf', // You can also use a Cordova-style file uri: cdvfile://localhost/persistent/Download/starwars.pdf
'application/pdf',

cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.showOpenWithDialog(
'/sdcard/Download/starwars.pdf', // You can also use a Cordova-style file uri: cdvfile://localhost/persistent/Download/starwars.pdf
'application/pdf',
{
error : function(e) {
console.log('Error status: ' + e.status + ' - Error message: ' + e.message);
},
success : function () {
console.log('file opened successfully');
}
}
);
Notes
For properly opening any file, you must already have a suitable reader for that particular file type installed on your device. Otherwise this will not work.
It is reported that in iOS, you might need to remove
<preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" />
from yourconfig.xml
If you are wondering what MIME-type should you pass as the second argument to
open
function, here is a list of all known MIME-types
