    Description

      Attempting to read the 'android_asset' folder through the File API results in Error Code 5 (FileError.ENCODING_ERR). I've tried accessing via resolveLocalFileSystemURL, and by creating a directory reader and calling readEntries().

      window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL('file:///android_asset/www/my_asset_folder', success, fail);

      var sourceDir = new DirectoryEntry(

      { fullPath: 'file:///android_asset/www/my_asset_folder' }

      );
      var reader = sourceDir.createReader();
      reader.readEntries(success, fail);

      (I have also tried with the URLs being '/android_asset/www/my_asset_folder'; same result)
