Example usage is missing

Please provide a sample usage to view a simple pdf or similar file

Yeah, I know... this plugin is mostly in use in our SpiderOak mobile app... I really really need to clean it up and do proper documentation :(

[ansgarschulte]

so it is not possible to use it in my app with this state, right?

[devgeeks]

Well, it is... But the API is a bit odd as it started as a plugin just for android. It uses some odd android-isms that I'd like to clean out.

If anyone is looking for a (very simple) example:

$ionicLoading.hide();

  // if FileViewerPlugin is supported
  if(typeof(FileViewerPlugin) != 'undefined') {

    // Open file
    FileViewerPlugin.view(

      // file url (local)
      {url: url},

      // success cb
      function(){
        // do nothing in success

      // error cb
      }, function(){
        alert("There was an error, opening the file.");
      });

  } else {
    alert("FileViewerPlugin not supported");
  }

What format does url need to be in? I tried opening /data/data/com.example.app/files/test.jpg and got the error callback triggering. I also tried adding file:// to the start of the url with the same error.
