When i tried to create plist file('Checklist.plist') using following methods i can't see the file in the directory.
- (NSString *)documentsDirectory {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths firstObject];
return documentsDirectory; }
- (NSString *)dataFilePath {
return [[self documentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Checklists.plist"];
}
Why i can't see the file on the directory? How can i solve this problem?
Did you save something in the file?
NSString *test = @"test";
[test writeToFile:[self dataFilePath] atomically:YES];
If you run this in a simulator, you can NSlog this file path, and than open finder, press cmd + shift + g
paste the file path, don't include Checklist.plist
, just documents file path, you will see the file you just create named Checklist.plist
.
This is all my code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
NSArray *testArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"test", nil];
[testArray writeToFile:[self dataFilePath] atomically:YES];
}
- (NSString *)documentsDirectory {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths firstObject];
return documentsDirectory;
}
- (NSString *)dataFilePath {
return [[self documentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Checklists.plist"];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
