Suggestions:

• mention the MobileFirst version you are working with
• provide actual code

Here's why it is failing for you... When you test in a desktop browser, you are not in a mobile app. You are in a desktop browser. In a desktop browser in your PC you have access to the local filesystem and that's why the widget worked for you.

But when you are in a mobile device, you do not have access to the file system. You must request this access. To do so, you must use the Cordova FileSystem API. Please refer to that and implement accordingly based on their examples: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/cordova/file/file.html
