//NSString *str = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"HAK" ofType:#".mp3"];

I want to share PDF file with Evernote in iOS application.
Note: I have found the code of Evernote login from Evernote official website but didn't get any reference of sharing PDF from anywhere.
I have found solution of my above question :
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"pdf-sample" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSData *pdfFileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
ENResource * resource = [[ENResource alloc] initWithData:pdfFileData mimeType:#"application/pdf" filename:#"pdf-sample.pdf"];
ENNote * note = [[ENNote alloc] init];
note.title = #"Costsfirst PDF file";
[note addResource:resource];
[[ENSession sharedSession] uploadNote:note notebook:nil completion:^(ENNoteRef *noteRef, NSError *uploadNoteError) {
NSString * message = nil;
if (noteRef) {
message = #"Pdf uploaded!";
} else {
message = #"Failed to upload.";
}
}];
Above code is working perfectly for me.
If I do understand your question then, to share PDF with Evernote from your iOS app, can be achieved via UIActivityViewController.
try this:
NSData *pdfFileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:pdfFilePath];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[#"Test", pdfFileData] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
--- OR ---
NSString *str = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"YourPdfFileName" ofType:#"pdf"];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[#"Test", [NSURL fileURLWithPath:str]] applicationActivities:nil];
With the code above, You could scroll over on UIActivityViewController’s share section, and use other custom share extensions like Evernote.
You didn’t have to do a thing. As a user, just click the more button to show the ones you want in the share sheet. As a developer, you don’t have to do anything to your UIActivityViewController to show custom Share and Action Extensions.
Hope this may help you.
Regarding Evernote cloud sdk for iOS:
https://github.com/evernote/evernote-cloud-sdk-ios/blob/master/Getting_Started.md
This document covers getting set up with the Evernote Cloud SDK for iOS, some quick examples, and some discussion of the primary classes.
It successfully redirects to the Whatsapp app.There is no preview frame and when tapped Send, an error messages pops up "This video could not be sent. Please choose a different video.
Here is my code.
- (void)shareVideo {
NSLog(#"[WhatsAppShare] sharing video");
//NSString *nativePath = [[NSString alloc] initWithCString:path encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString *nativePath=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"video" ofType:#"mp4"];
// Save video to path in documents directory
NSString *savePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/whatsAppTmp.wam"];
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:savePath]){
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:savePath error:nil]){
[self shareVideoAtNativePath:nativePath SavePath:savePath];
}
} else {
[self shareVideoAtNativePath:nativePath SavePath:savePath];
}}
- (void)shareVideoAtNativePath:(NSString*)nativePath SavePath:(NSString*)savePath{
NSError*error;
BOOL isSuccess=[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath:nativePath toPath:savePath error:&error];
if(isSuccess){
// Create interaction controller
self.documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:savePath]];
self.documentInteractionController.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.movie";
self.documentInteractionController.delegate = self;
[self.documentInteractionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1)
inView:[self view]
animated:YES];
} else{
NSLog(#"error %#", error);
}
}
We have observed the exact same problem. Everything was working until a recent update of WhatsApp. This is probably a bug on WhatsApp side.
Here is a workaround for this problem:
Do not use a wam file, use the mp4 file directly. So in your case, just call
[self shareVideoAtNativePath:nativePath SavePath:nativePath];
Change the UTI to public Mpeg4:
self.documentInteractionController.UTI = #"public.mpeg-4";
This seems to have solved our issue. However, there is a drawback that, the share dialog now contains many other apps/services that can open mp4 files.
We've faced the exact same issue.
The official .wam format brings up only WhatsApp in the share dialog, but fails to forward the video.
Using .m4v format is working for us. A few more options are displayed along with WhatsApp (Open in WhatsApp is the option we want). We are displaying an alert saying "Please select Whatsapp on the next screen" before sending user to the share dialog.
File format: m4v
UTI: net.whatsapp.movie
Please refer to the working code below:
UIDocumentInteractionController *documentInteractionController;
-----
-----
- (void)shareVideoViaWhatsApp:(NSURL*)url{
// Creating temp video to share specifically on whatsapp.
NSString *cachesFolder = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"video.m4v"]];
NSURL *file = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:cachesFolder];
[[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url] writeToURL:file options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:nil];
documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL: file ];
documentInteractionController.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.movie";
documentInteractionController.delegate = self;
[documentInteractionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
}
// In code Use share GIF and Video for WhatsApp....
NSString *savePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/whatsAppTmp.wam"];
savePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Movie" ofType:#"m4v"];
_documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:_videourl];
_documentInteractionController.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.movie";
_documentInteractionController.delegate = (id)self;
[_documentInteractionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0) inView:self.view animated: YES];
I am using UIActivityViewController for share button.It's showing text and url when I am selecting mail option from list but it's showing only text not url when I am selecting Facebook or Twitter.I searched a lot but not getting solution for my issue.I got one more solution to add "http" in url but is this possible without adding http in url. My code is -
NSArray *activityItems;
NSString *str;
NSString *noteStr;
str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"com.boxscoregames.squares://square?%#",squareID];
noteStr = #"You have been invited to join the Square game, please follow the link below on your iPhone.";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
// str =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<html>%#</html>" ,str,str];
activityItems = #[noteStr,url];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];
I believe the link is indeed not being shown. But, when you post it, the link will be added to your Facebook/twitter post.
You could of course just also add the link to the text.
NSString *link = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"com.boxscoregames.squares://square?%#",squareID];
NSString *noteStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"You have been invited to join the Square game, please follow the link below on your iPhone. %#", link];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:link];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[noteStr, url] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];
I am trying to open a PDF file that I have stored locally within my app in iBooks. The app currently has a list of "literature" in a table view and when each cell is tapped the app segues to a webView that displays the PDF file (works great). I have made a BarButton at the top right in navBar to allow the user to open the PDF in iBooks (so they can store it on his/her device).
So far the button will open a UIDocumentInteractionController that displays all apps on the device that can open the file (after checking if iBooks is installed). Then when I click the iBooks icon the app crashes. I was able to revise the code so that iBooks opens without crashing, but the PDF file is not carried through so it's kind of pointless (code below is reverted back to when it crashes).
Code below is inside the IBAction of the barButton...
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:litFileName ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
UIDocumentInteractionController *docController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:targetURL];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"itms-bookss:"]])
{
[docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
NSLog(#"ibooks is installed");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"no ibooks installed");
}
Fixed it! Took some time away from the project and after coming back two weeks later I figured it out in <15 minutes.
So it was a memory issue for the docController and by declaring in the .h file and using (retain) it works perfectly. I was also able to use the [NSBundle mainBundle] method as well.
.h
#property (retain)UIDocumentInteractionController *docController;
.m
#synthesize docController;
//in bar button IBAction
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:litFileName ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
docController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:targetURL];
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"itms-books:"]]) {
[docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
NSLog(#"iBooks installed");
} else {
NSLog(#"iBooks not installed");
}
On iOS 8 the layout of the file system changed and sharing files directly from the main bundle no longer works. Copy the file to the documentsdirectory and share it from there.
Here is how to create the file path:
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) firstObject];
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.pdf",litFileName];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
This is what I'm trying to do:
Get a .pdf from external URL
Save it into my local disk
Display it in a WebView
Allow the user to move the .pdf to another app who can read .pdf
Everything from 1 to 3 works fine. But nothing is moved/shared to/with other apps. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. This is what I'm doing.
How I save the pdf in the Documents folder (viewDidLoad):
// to save the pdf into local file system (tempString is the pdf url)
NSData *pdfData = [[NSData alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:tempString]];
NSString *resourceToPath = [[NSString alloc]
initWithString:[[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"]];
NSString *filePAth = [resourceToPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myPDF.pdf"];
[pdfData writeToFile:filePAth atomically:YES];
// to populate the WebView
NSURL *url2 = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePAth];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url2];
[my_web_view setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
//[editoriale_view setDelegate:self];
[my_web_view loadRequest:requestObj];
In my viewDidLoad() function I create a button to allow the user to open a list of apps who can read .pdf files:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemBookmarks target:self
action:#selector(show_Button)];
And here's my show_Button function:
-(void)show_Button {
NSString *resourceToPath = [[NSString alloc]
initWithString:[[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"]];
NSString *filePAth = [resourceToPath
stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myPDF.pdf"];
NSLog(#"filePath = %#", filePAth);
NSURL *url2 = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePAth];
NSLog(#"url2 = %#", url2);
UIDocumentInteractionController *docContr = [UIDocumentInteractionController
interactionControllerWithURL:url2];
[docContr presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];
}
When I try this on my device everything works fine until I tap on one of the icons in the list (i.e. the iBooks one). Then the app closes (it doesn't crash, it simply closes).
Here's what the console prints for the two logs I put in the show_Button function:
1. filePath = /Users/[MY_USER]/Library/Application Support/iPhone
Simulator/6.1/Applications/[MY_EXAD_APP_ID]/Documents/myPDF.pdf
2. url2 = file://localhost/Users/[MY_USER]/Library/Application%20Support/
iPhone%20Simulator/6.1/Applications/[MY_EXAD_APP_ID]/Documents/myPDF.pdf
Anyone wants to try to make me understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Xcode 4.6. I browsed my iPhone app file system with a third-party software and the file "MyPDF.pdf" actually IS in the Documents" folder, and that's clear because the WebView is correctly populated.
Change CGRectZero to self.view.bounds when you display the document controller.
Solved. I had not implemented the UIDocumentenInteractionController delegate in the .h file. Now I have and everything works fine. Thank you to #trojanfoe for the useful hint.
