QLPreviewController not opening downloaded file - ios

Question

I'm trying to preview a downloaded file to system and the program crashes when performing the method called previewController:previewItemAtIndex:. From what I assumed is that is releasing the previewcontroller before it is displayed, but this error does not occur when the file is already in the documents folder. It only happens when trying to open the file right after it has been downloaded.
Here is the code:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
NSUInteger count = [listSessionsST count];
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
Signature *object = [listSessionsST objectAtIndex:row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UILabel *lblInComplete = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:4];
UIImageView *imgCheck = (UIImageView*)[cell viewWithTag:3];
//Sets the File Name
self.File = [[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%#.%#",object.FileName,object.ModDate,object.Extension]
componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]] componentsJoinedByString: #""];
//Shows the loading screen while the file is being downloaded
[DejalBezelActivityView activityViewForView:self.view withLabel:#"Downloading" width:0 LoadingType:#"Full"];
[DejalActivityView currentActivityView].showNetworkActivityIndicator = YES;
//Calls the method that will begin downloading the file
[self performSelector:#selector(startDownload:) withObject:object.Location afterDelay:0.2];
}
- (void)startDownload:(NSString *)strLocation{
NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/tmp/%#", NSHomeDirectory(),self.File];
BOOL fileExists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath];
if (fileExists)
{
[DejalBezelActivityView removeViewAnimated:YES];
//QuickLook APIs directly to preview the document
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
previewController.dataSource = self;
previewController.delegate = self;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:previewController animated:YES];
[previewController release];
}
else
{
NSDictionary *dictionary = [Signature downloadFile:self.File Path:strLocation];
if ([dictionary valueForKey:#"Error"] == nil)
{
//If no error has occurred while downloading then preview the file.
//QuickLook APIs directly to preview the document
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
previewController.dataSource = self;
previewController.delegate = self;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:previewController animated:YES];
[previewController release];
[DejalBezelActivityView removeViewAnimated:YES];
}
else
{
//If an error occurred while downloading then display message to user.
[DejalBezelActivityView removeViewAnimated:YES];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#""
message:[dictionary valueForKey:#"Response"]
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
}
}
// Returns the number of items that the preview controller should preview
- (NSInteger)numberOfPreviewItemsInPreviewController:(QLPreviewController *)previewController{
return 1;
}
// returns the item that the preview controller should preview
- (id)previewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller previewItemAtIndex:(NSInteger)index{
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/tmp/%#", NSHomeDirectory(),self.File];
return [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
}
