I'm having a problem regarding app folders being disabled when I'm trying to import from iCloud, see the image below:
I checked google drive's iCloud import and it's not disabled like in the image below:
I need to get documents from other app's folder, what did I do wrong?
This is my current setup in my info.plist:
Code:
UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentPicker = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initWithDocumentTypes:#[#"public.item"]
inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];
documentPicker.delegate = self;
documentPicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:documentPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
You need to add the Utils in UIDocumentPickerViewController
UIDocumentPickerViewController *picker=[[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc]
initWithDocumentTypes: #[(__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeContent,
(__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeData,
(__bridge NSString *) kUTTypePackage,
(__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeDiskImage,
#"com.apple.iwork.pages.pages",
#"com.apple.iwork.numbers.numbers",
#"com.apple.iwork.keynote.key"] inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];

I am unable to get UIDocumentPickerViewController to default to my iOS app's document directory. I want the picker to open pointing to the app's document directory showing only .csv files.
The picker always defaults to the root of the iCloud directory. My code is as follows:
UTType *csvType;
csvType = [UTType typeWithFilenameExtension:#"csv"];
NSArray *fileTypeArray = #[csvType];
UIDocumentPickerViewController *fileBrowser = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initForOpeningContentTypes:fileTypeArray];
NSString *startingDirectory;
NSString *appDirectory = NSHomeDirectory();
startingDirectory = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/Documents", appDirectory];
fileBrowser.directoryURL = [NSURL URLWithString: startingDirectory];
fileBrowser.delegate = self;
fileBrowser.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
[self showViewController:fileBrowser sender:self];
i have a PDF file, got it from iCloud and want to convert that PDF file to binary.
Code Snippet :
-(IBAction)iCloudDriveFullFolder:(id)sender
{
UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentPicker = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initWithDocumentTypes:#[#"public.data"]
inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];
documentPicker.delegate = self;
documentPicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:documentPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
#pragma mark - iCloud files
- (void)documentPicker:(UIDocumentPickerViewController *)controller didPickDocumentAtURL:(NSURL *)url {
if (controller.documentPickerMode == UIDocumentPickerModeImport)
{
NSString *alertMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Successfully imported %#", [url lastPathComponent]];
NSLog(#"alertMessage %#",alertMessage);
}
Using this code i got the PDF file from iCloud. alertMessage got it that PDF file. how can i convert into binary. help me. thanks advance.
You can get a NSData object for NSURL:
[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: url]
(I have no way to test for you, if it doesn't work you have the get the path: url.path)
and then you can get the binary from NSData with this answer
It works properly in iOS 8, but in iOS 9 it gets stuck when selecting a document file, the image of being stuck is below:
Code:
UIDocumentMenuViewController *importMenu = [[UIDocumentMenuViewController alloc] initWithDocumentTypes:#[#"public.item", (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeContent, (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeData, (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypePackage, (__bridge NSString *) kUTTypeDiskImage, #"com.apple.iwork.pages.pages", #"com.apple.iwork.numbers.numbers", #"com.apple.iwork.keynote.key"] inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];
importMenu.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:importMenu animated:YES completion:nil];
I don't know if this is an issue with iOS 9 itself because we definitely followed what was instructed in the apple documentation and also in what results we can find in the web.
This only happens when you don't merge after you signed in your iCloud account.
I need to have Facebook and WhatsApp as sharing options for my image. I've already implemented UIActivityViewController, where i can share via Facebook and UIDocumentInteractionController where i can share via WhatsApp. I don't know how to merge these things.
UIActivityViewController:
UIActivityViewController *activityViewContoller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
initWithActivityItems:#[#"Test", image] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewContoller animated:YES completion:nil];
UIDocumentInteractionController:
NSString *savePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/whatsAppTmp.wai"];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];
_documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController
interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:savePath]];
_documentInteractionController.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.image";
_documentInteractionController.delegate = self;
[_documentInteractionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero
inView:self.view animated:YES];
I want to have both of them in one popover, however I have no idea how to achieve it. Any tip please?
I've checked out StackOverFlow question 1, but it doesn't help me at all. My file is .wai (for WhatsApp) so when i try to send it via FB file is unable to open. Also it shows all options, while i want only 2(FB+WhatsApp) to be visible. Following the StackOverFlow question 2 I can show only FB (working one, because i set normal image) but can't add WhatsApp (no .wai file, i don't know what to do with UTI). Is there any way to solve this issue?
To change type of file:
- (void)share {
NSString *path = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/tmptmpimg.jpg"];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(_img, 1.0) writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
_documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
_documentInteractionController.delegate = self;
[_documentInteractionController presentOptionsMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
}
- (void)documentInteractionController:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller willBeginSendingToApplication:(NSString *)application {
if ([self isWhatsApplication:application]) {
NSString *savePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/tmptmpimg.wai"];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(_img, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];
controller.URL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:savePath];
controller.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.image";
}
}
- (BOOL)isWhatsApplication:(NSString *)application {
if ([application rangeOfString:#"whats"].location == NSNotFound) { // unfortunately, no other way...
return NO;
} else {
return YES;
}
}
This way we can use all options- Facebook, Twitter and custom WhatsApp.
The problem with showing only selected options is still not solved, but it's the minor one.
To exclude non-desired sharing options (the second part of your question), assuming your UIActivityViewController object is called activityController, set the excludedActivityTypes property, like so:
activityController.excludedActivityTypes = #[UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
UIActivityTypePrint,
UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList,
UIActivityTypeAirDrop];
I am new to UIActivityViewController and perhaps I am missing a basic understanding. What I am trying to do is attached a csv, xml and vcard file to activity controller and show dropbox, google drive etc options. I have downloaded and installed dropbox, google drive etc apps on my iPhone.
Now when I launch UIActivityViewController all I see are default message and email app in my acitivity controller. How can I have other apps show up on their too? Do I need to install each and every apps individual SDKs and somehow incorporate them in my app?
This is what I wold like to see
but this is what I see instead.
Here's the code that I have tried so far
-(IBAction) dropBoxAction
{
paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask ,YES);
NSString* documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
//CSV
NSMutableString *fileNameStr = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:#"test_CSV_Backup.csv"];
NSString* csvDataFileStr = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameStr];
NSData *csvData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:csvDataFileStr];
//EXCEL
NSMutableString *fileNameStr2 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:#"test_EXCEL_Backup.xml"];
NSString* excelDataFileStr = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameStr2];
NSData *excelData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:excelDataFileStr];
//VCARD
NSMutableString *fileNameStr3 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:#"test_VCARD_Backup.vcf"];
NSString* vcardDataFileStr = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameStr3];
NSData *vcardData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:vcardDataFileStr];
//adding them all together
NSMutableArray *sharingItems = [NSMutableArray new];
[sharingItems addObject:csvData];
[sharingItems addObject:excelData];
[sharingItems addObject:vcardData];
UIActivity *activity = [[UIActivity alloc] init];
NSArray *applicationActivities = #[activity];
UIActivityViewController *activityController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:sharingItems applicationActivities:applicationActivities];
[self presentViewController:activityController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
As #rmaddy said, you should use UIDocumentInteractionController to replace UIActivityViewController, just like this:
UIDocumentInteractionController *dc = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fileNameStr]];
[dc presentOptionsMenuFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view animated:YES];
For anyone interested in future, here's the code all in one place. Do rate it up if this helps.
In your *.h file add this
#interface v1BackupComplete : UIViewController <UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate>
{
UIDocumentInteractionController *docController;
}
In your *.m file add this
/************************
* Dropbox ACTION
************************/
-(IBAction) dropBoxAction2
{
NSLog(#"dropBoxAction2 ...");
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask ,YES);
NSString* documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSMutableString *fileNameStr3 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:#"test_VCARD_Backup.vcf"];
NSString* vcardDataFileStr = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameStr3];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:vcardDataFileStr];
docController = [self setupControllerWithURL:fileURL
usingDelegate:self];
bool didShow = [docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view animated:YES];
NSLog(#"didShow %d ...", didShow);
if (!didShow)
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"ERROR"
message:#"Sorry. The appropriate apps are not found on this device."
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
}
#pragma mark - UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate
- (UIDocumentInteractionController *) setupControllerWithURL:(NSURL *)fileURL
usingDelegate:(id <UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate>) interactionDelegate {
UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController =
[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:fileURL];
interactionController.delegate = interactionDelegate;
return interactionController;
}
- (UIViewController *)documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller
{
return self;
}
- (UIView *)documentInteractionControllerViewForPreview:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller
{
return self.view;
}
- (CGRect)documentInteractionControllerRectForPreview:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller
{
return self.view.frame;
}
UIActivityViewController only shows standard built-in activities plus any custom activities you pass as applicationActivities.
For what you are doing, you don't want UIActivityViewController. You want a UIDocumentInteractionController. If you just want to display existing apps that can open the file, use one of the presentOpenInMenuFrom... methods.
But note that is to be used for just a single file, not three.
Passing three files makes no sense in this context.
I have used your code here to open with dropbox and only after I have used presentPreview method (bellow) It was worked for me.
The pdf was shown as preview and then on the preview share button click (top right) the dropbox option ("open in dropbox") did the job. As it works in the mail app in the attachment preview.
[interactionController presentPreviewAnimated:YES];
When i tried to open with presentOpenInMenuFromRect it was crashed on selecting "open in dropbox".
