Writing and retrieving files from NSDocumentDirectory iOS - ios

Question

I want to download a file(pdf, doc, docx etc) in NSFileManager from some specific URL. Later on when user taps on same link I want to retrieve the file from NSFileManager. Here is the code I've done:
- (void)checkIfFileExist {
NSString *path1;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
path1 = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Content-Directory"];
path1 = [path1 stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"sample.pdf"];
NSLog(#"The read path is %#", path1);
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path1])
{
//File exists
NSData *file1 = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path1];
if (file1)
{
}
}
else
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://fzs.sve-mo.ba/sites/default/files/dokumenti-vijesti/sample.pdf"];
NSData *urlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSString *path;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Content-Directory"];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"sample.pdf"];
NSLog(#"The written path is %#", path);
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:path
contents:urlData
attributes:nil];
}
}
Now here every time I'm trying to fetch the file from file manager the condition that file exists always returning me FALSE. The paths where I'm writing and reading the file are same as I've checked them on console. Any mistake that I've done?

Add this
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path]){[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:path withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil];}
after
path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Content-Directory"];
in your else part and replace
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:path contents:urlData attributes:nil];` with `[urlData writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
