Native API?

 Native? But you said its hybrid?


 Yes, you can still get native features with hybrid applications
 Ionic has Cordova and Capacitor for this
 This allows a developer to have native functionality (e.g. Open a file through your mobile file
manager, open the camera, etc.)
 These native plugins allow much more features at a fraction of the trouble
Native Plugins

 In order to use a plugin you need to install it, there are numerous plugins available that are
community driven (https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/community)
 There are also enterprise versions which are paid for.
 In order to download a plugin and save it to your package.json file ensure you use the
--save flag.
 For the remainder of the examples we will be using Cordova instead of Capacitor
 @Ionic/native plugins are wrappers around the Cordova plugins
 Always check what platforms are supported
 NB!!! Native plugins will need you to run an emulator for ios and android.
 You will need to set the Android environment variables and Java Environment
Emulator: Environment Variables

 To get the emulator to work you need to define new environment variables:
✓ ANDROID_HOME = C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
✓ JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.X_XX

I suggest you also set the Following Path variables (WARNING! DON’T MESS
THIS UP OR YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR SYSTEM):
✓ C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin
✓ C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-6.4.1\bin
✓ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\29.0.2
✓ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
✓ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools
✓ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin

import { FileOpener } from '@ionic-native/file-opener/ngx';

constructor(private fileOpener: FileOpener) { }

this.fileOpener.open('path/to/file.pdf', 'application/pdf')
.then(() => console.log('File is opened'))
.catch(e => console.log('Error opening file', e));

this.fileOpener.showOpenWithDialog('path/to/file.pdf', 'application/pdf')

To launch the ionic app, assuming you have the emulator installed run this command:
-> ionic cordova run android
