 Before you get the file, get a FileSystem reference using `requestFileSystem`. By passing window.TEMPORARY in the method call (same as before), the returned FileSystem object (fs) represents the cache in the sandboxed file system. Use `fs.root` to get the DirectoryEntry object that you need.

 For completeness, here is the xhr request to get a Blob image. There is nothing Cordova-specific in this code, except that you forward the DirectoryEntry reference that you already obtained as an argument to the saveFile function.
