help wanted
Description
I struggled to fix the download correctness issue in PR #62 due to the JS error messages being empty on Android. (We were just getting an empty Error object.)
Ideally JS errors and/or logging should provide information from the Java exception. As a quick hack, the below change to RNFSManager.java helped a lot. It turned out to be an HTTP 404 error and was easy to fix after knowing the issue.
I'm not submitting this as a pull request just yet because I suspect react-native may already provide a built-in Exception-to-JS-Error conversion utility function - any thoughts from RN Android devs?
private WritableMap makeErrorPayload(Exception ex) { WritableMap error = Arguments.createMap();

Writer writer = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(writer);
ex.printStackTrace(printWriter);
String s = writer.toString();
//error.putString("message", ex.getMessage());
error.putString("message", s);
// TODO: Consolidate and move ex.printStackTrace() here?
return error;
