I want to store .zip files on iCloud. Anybody help me how to upload and restore? I have read the Apple guideline for iCloud backup and now I have created one folder with some files and two folders with multiple images and then generate zip file of that folder.
First Save your File and Folder on Local Storage.
Then Create this File & Folder's Zip File.
And Last Upload Your zip file on iCloud.
For get this file doing reverse process.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self CreatFileAndFolder];
}
Create Folder on local and save file in this folder that you want upload on iCloud Drive.
-(void)CreatFileAndFolder{
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/meetInChat"];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error];
NSString *stringToWrite = #"1\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n41\n2\n3\n4";
NSString *exportPath = [dataPath stringByAppendingString:#"/mytext.txt"];
[stringToWrite writeToFile:exportPath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
}

I am saving a file like this in my iOS App in my UIImagePickerDelegate's method didFinishPIckingMediaWithInfo:
// write
NSString* filePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Documents/invoice.jpeg"]];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage], 0.0);
if (imageData != nil) {
[imageData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
}
Then I am retrieving the file like this:
// load
NSString *searchFilename = #"invoice.jpeg";
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSDirectoryEnumerator *direnum = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:documentsDirectory];
NSString *documentsSubpath;
while (documentsSubpath = [direnum nextObject])
{
if (![documentsSubpath.lastPathComponent isEqual:searchFilename]) {
continue;
}
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc]initFileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",documentsDirectory,documentsSubpath]];
[self.imageContentView setupImageViewerWithImageURL:fileURL onOpen:^{
NSLog(#"open %#",fileURL);
} onClose:^{
NSLog(#"close %#",fileURL);
}];
}
The files do get loaded properly. However, when I update the photo (imageData) in my UIImagePickerDelegate and try to reload the image, I still get the original image written into my app documents.

I am creating a directory inside my application.Is there a code to view the contents of the directory in xcode. For example in android you can create a custom directory and view its contents using a file manager application. Can the similar procedure be done in apple?
Here is the code which i use to create a directory?
bundleIdentifier = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier];
fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
myImageDirectory = [fileManager URLsForDirectory:NSApplicationSupportDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
if ([myImageDirectory count] == 1){
NSLog(#"myImageDirectoryIs already present directory is already present");
}else{
directoryPath = [[myImageDirectory objectAtIndex:0] URLByAppendingPathComponent:bundleIdentifier];
NSLog(#"myImageDirectory directory name = %#",[directoryPath absoluteString]);
NSError *theError = nil;
if (![fileManager createDirectoryAtURL:directoryPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&theError]){
NSLog(#"didnt write image data");
}else{
imagePath = [[directoryPath absoluteString] stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/%#_%#_%#_image.jpg",dIdNo,iIdNo,[self currentDateandTime]]];
[imageData writeToFile:imagePath atomically:YES];
}
}
If your app is running in the simulator you'll need to use Finder. Go to the following directory:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/<iOS version>/Applications/<uuid>/Library/Application Support
If your app is running on the device you can use Xcode:
Connect the device
Choose menu option Window -> Organizer
Go to the Devices Tab
Click Applications under the device menu on the left
Pick your Application
The directory contents will be listed and you can optionally download everything.
try this...
to create a directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/MyFolder"];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error]; //Create folder
to retrieve contents from directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *customDirectory = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/MyFolder"];
NSError * error;
NSArray *directoryContents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:customDirectory error:&error];
for(NSString *strFile in directoryContents)
{
NSString *strVideoPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",customDirectory,strFile];
if([[strVideoPath pathExtension] isEqualToString:#"mp4"] || [[strVideoPath pathExtension] isEqualToString:#"mov"])
{
[urlArray addObject:strVideoPath];
}
}
you can get the contents of the directory(MYNewFolder) from below code:
NSString *stringPath = [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES)objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"MYNewFolder"];
NSArray *filePathsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:stringPath
error:nil];
for ( NSString *apath in filePathsArray )
{
NSLog(#"inside the file path array=%d",apath);
}
Method
-(NSArray *) getObjectsInDirectory:(NSString *)directory {
NSFileManager * fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError * error = nil;
NSArray * result = [fm contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:directory error:&error];
return result;
}
How-To
NSString * documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray * files = [self getobjectsInDirectory:documentsPath];
This code is used to get an array of the files within the documents directory.
Viewing the Files
NSLog(#"%#", files);
Check this class out, it allows you to simplify so many things in iOS: Atomic Class
I want to create a file in my application document folder and i have to store some content. That content takes from my localhost file. So i write a below code. But this code didn't create a file in my application document folder.
- (void) createFile
{
NSString *strPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://192.168.5.117/~mac/banana.obj"];
NSData *data =[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strPath]];
NSString *strLastpath = [strPath lastPathComponent];
NSString *folderName = [#"Object File/" stringByAppendingString:strLastpath];
NSLog(#"Path : %# \n File Name : %#",strPath,folderName);
NSArray *dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docsDir = [dirPaths objectAtIndex:0];
databasePath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString: [docsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:folderName]];
NSLog(#"Database Path : %#",databasePath);
NSFileManager *filemgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if ([filemgr fileExistsAtPath:databasePath] == YES)
{
NSLog(#"File Exists");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"File not exists");
}
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",data];
[content writeToFile:strLastpath atomically:NO encoding:NSStringEncodingConversionAllowLossy error:nil];
}
While build for running i got this.
2013-10-11 11:36:38.833 SampleFileCreation[1321:c07] Path : http://192.168.5.117/~mac/banana.obj

You can also try this code
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *fileName = #"yourFileName";
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/fileName"];
NSDate *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:YourUrl]; // get date form url
[data writeToFile:dataPath atomically:YES]; // save data in file
I found the answer. File created successfully.
- (void) createFile {
NSString *strPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://-.-.-.-/~mac/banana.obj"];

NSLog(#"File Exists");
} else {

I am trying to add and array to a Root array in my plist:
And is not working. Here's my code:
-(IBAction)addName:(id)sender{
NSArray *arrayValues = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: nameLabel.text, nameDate.text, nameValue.text, nil];
NSString *plistpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Names" ofType:#"plist"];
NSMutableArray *namesNew = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistpath];
[namesNew addObject:arrayValues];
[namesNew writeToFile:plistpath atomically:YES];
}
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
You need to move the file to NSDocumentDirectory. Then edit the plist file.
For example:
Moving to NSDocumentDirectory:
-(NSDictionary *)copyBundleToDocuments
{
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentPlistPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Names.plist"];
NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *bundlePlistPath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Names.plist"];
//if file exists in the documents directory, get it
if([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:documentPlistPath])
{
NSMutableDictionary *documentDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:documentPlistPath];
return documentDict;
}
//if file does not exist, create it from existing plist
else
{
NSError *error;
BOOL success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:bundlePlistPath toPath:documentPlistPath error:&error];
if (success) {
NSMutableDictionary *documentDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:documentPlistPath];
return documentDict;
}
return nil;
}
}
Then get the plist:
-(void)plistArray:(NSArray*)array
{
//get the documents directory:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
//getting the plist file name:
NSString *plistName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/Names.plist",
documentsDirectory];
NSMutableArray *namesNew = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistName];
[namesNew addObject:arrayValues];
[namesNew writeToFile:plistName atomically:YES];
return nil;
}
The plist should be a dictionary as the base object instead of an array.
NSMutableDictionary *namesNew = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:plistpath];
[namesNew setObject: arrayValues forKey: #"Root"];
[namesNew writeToFile:plistpath atomically:YES];
You cant write your plist to the bundle you need to use NSDocumentDirectory or NSCachesDirectory
Just copy your plist to bundle the overwrite it.
Note: learn the difference between NSCachesDirectory and NSDocumentDirectory
https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/
Copy your plist from bundle to documents(in below code caches), you need to this only one time if your plist in your bundle, I prefer using this code in appdelegate.m when - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *sourcePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Names.plist"];
NSString *plistInDocuments=#"Names.plist";
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:plistInDocuments];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath]){
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath:sourcePath
toPath:dataPath
error:&error];
}
NSLog(#"Error description-%# \n", [error localizedDescription]);
NSLog(#"Error reason-%#", [error localizedFailureReason]);
Get your file and overwrite it
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *plistInDocuments=#"Names.plist";
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:plistInDocuments];
//add object here
NSMutableArray *namesNew = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:dataPath];
[namesNew addObject:arrayValues];
NSError *error = nil;
if ([myFile writeToFile:dataPath options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error]) {
// file saved
} else {
// error writing file
NSLog(#"Unable to write plist to %#. Error: %#", dataPath, error);
}
