I'm trying to build an app that will display a collection of magazines that can be downloaded and then read. What I want to happen is if the magazine isn't downloaded, a download will commence when a cell is tapped and a progressview will appear in the corresponding cell showing the download progress. I have subclassed UICollectionViewCelland added a UIProgressView property. So far, I've been able to check whether the file is downloaded and if it isn't, download it, and if it is, just open it using a PDF library called VFR Library. I can also update a progress view placed outside of the UICollectionViewCell but I can't update one placed within the UICollectionViewCell. Unfortunately, most of my logic for downloading and updating the progressview is within didSelectItemAtIndexPath:. I know this isn't elegant but my experience level isn't high enough that I can effectively develop my own classes to work together seamlessly. But once I figure this out I'll work on refining the code and abstracting things away a bit. Anyway, here's what I'm doing in didSelectItemAtIndexPath:
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
IssueCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
self.navBarLabel.hidden = YES;
self.mainProgressView.hidden = NO;
self.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
//self.activityIndicator.hidden = NO;
[self.activityIndicator startAnimating];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [[[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"issue%ld", (long)indexPath.row]]stringByAppendingPathExtension:@"pdf"];
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager]fileExistsAtPath:path])
{
ReaderDocument *document = [ReaderDocument withDocumentFilePath:path password:nil];
if (document != nil)
{
//opens PDF for viewing
ReaderViewController *readerViewController = [[ReaderViewController alloc] initWithReaderDocument:document];
readerViewController.delegate = self;
readerViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
readerViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self presentViewController:readerViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
self.mainProgressView.hidden = YES;
self.navBarLabel.hidden = NO;
self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
//self.activityIndicator.hidden = YES;
[self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
}
}
else
{
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlArray[indexPath.row]]];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
operation.outputStream = [NSOutputStream outputStreamToFileAtPath:path append:NO];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"Successfully downloaded file to %@", path);
ReaderDocument *document = [ReaderDocument withDocumentFilePath:path password:nil];
if (document != nil)
{
//opens PDF for viewing
ReaderViewController *readerViewController = [[ReaderViewController alloc] initWithReaderDocument:document];
readerViewController.delegate = self;
readerViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
readerViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self presentViewController:readerViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
self.mainProgressView.hidden = YES;
self.navBarLabel.hidden = NO;
//self.activityIndicator.hidden = YES;
self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Download Failed" message:@"There was a problem downloading this issue" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alertView show];
self.mainProgressView.hidden = YES;
self.navBarLabel.hidden = NO;
[self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
//self.activityIndicator.hidden = YES;
self.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];
[operation setDownloadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
float percentDone =((float)((int)totalBytesWritten) / (float)((int)totalBytesExpectedToWrite));
self.mainProgressView.progress = percentDone;
[cell.progressView setProgress:percentDone];
[self.collectionView reloadData];
// [cell.progressView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(loadingProgress:) withObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:percentDone] waitUntilDone:NO];
NSLog(@"Sent %lld of %lld bytes, %@", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite, path);
}];
[operation start];
}
}
So is there any way that I can update the progress view within a corresponding cell within this method or is there something else I need to do to get it to work? Thanks for any help you can give.
