How to access a file that's on the mobile phone

I'm using the Mobile App Builder.
Is there a way to access a file that's on a user's mobile phone? Could I use the Audio Widget from the Palette and set the "type" field to be text/plain for the simple text file?

If you think this would work, what what I use for the SRC field? Would I just enter @myfilename.txt so it would use the file named "myfilename.txt" that's on my mobile phone?

Only if you are building a PhoneGap app, via their File API (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.6.1/cor.... I don't believe there is an option to access the file system from pure mobile web app.

The Audio component is the HTML5 audio element so it would need to take a URL that points to a music file on the Internet. Here is how it works: http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation...

I think you should use the 3rd eben audio files, and you can disable it. I used to use the downloaded audio files at https://dzwonkinatelefon.pl/. You just need to turn off the sound updates and you will not update to your playlist.
