I have successfully Implemented downloading mechanism for pdf files. Files are downloading and save to document directory of simulator. Issue is when I try to disconnect internet the files locally stored not accessible. In my application I have two modes Online and Offline. In Online mode I store data and its accessible at Offline mode. Only problem is getting with pdf files.
How to access pdf files in offline mode?
viewController Code:
let fileType = (URL != nil) ? ".pdf" : ".png"
DataProvider.main.downloadFile(url: String(describing: self.URL!), filetype: fileType, callback: { success, response in
if !success || response == nil {
return false
}
if((response as! String).hasSuffix("pdf")){
self.imageScrollView.isHidden = true
self.contentContainer.isHidden = false
self.document = ReaderDocument(filePath:(response as! String).removingPercentEncoding, password: nil)
self.loadDocument()
self._contentView.removeFromSuperview()
self._contentView.frame = self.contentContainer.bounds
self.contentContainer.addSubview(self._contentView)
}else if (FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: (response as! String).removingPercentEncoding!) ){
self.imageScrollView.isHidden = false
self.contentContainer.isHidden = true
let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile:(response as! String).removingPercentEncoding!)!
self.imageScrollView.display(image)
}
return true
})
DataProvider Class with custom directory:
@objc public func downloadFile(url:String, filetype: String, callback:@escaping (_ success:Bool, _ result:Any?)->(Bool)) -> Void {
var destination = DownloadRequest.suggestedDownloadDestination(for: .documentDirectory)
if filetype.elementsEqual(".pdf"){
destination = { _, _ in
let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent(String(abs(url.hashValue)) + ".pdf") //giving different name to file
return (fileURL, [.removePreviousFile, .createIntermediateDirectories])
}
}
Alamofire.download(
url,
method: .get,
parameters: nil,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default,
headers: [ "Accept":"*/*", "Authorization":"Bearer \(token ?? "")"],
to: destination).downloadProgress(closure: { (progress) in
//progress closure
print(progress)
}).response(completionHandler: { (DefaultDownloadResponse) in
//here you able to access the DefaultDownloadResponse
//result closure
callback(DefaultDownloadResponse.response?.statusCode == 200, DefaultDownloadResponse.destinationURL?.absoluteString.replacingOccurrences(of: "file://", with: ""))
print(DefaultDownloadResponse)
})
}
DefaultDownloadResponse.destinationURL when Online downloaded
