Examples
========
Init the library
----------------
Start using the library, it is needed to init the object OCCommunication.
We recommend using the singleton method in the AppDelegate class in order to
use the ownCloud iOS library.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
#import "OCCommunication.h"
+ (OCCommunication *)sharedOCCommunication
{
static OCCommunication* sharedOCCommunication = nil;
if (sharedOCCommunication == nil)
{
sharedOCCommunication = [ [ OCCommunicationalloc] init ];
}
return sharedOCCommunication;
}
Also could happen that you need to overwrite the class AFURLSessionManager to manage SSL Certificates
.. code-block:: objective-c
#import "OCCommunication.h"
+ (OCCommunication*)sharedOCCommunication
{
static OCCommunication* sharedOCCommunication = nil;
if (sharedOCCommunication == nil)
{
//Network Upload queue for NSURLSession (iOS 7)
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration backgroundSessionConfiguration:k_session_name];
configuration.HTTPMaximumConnectionsPerHost = 1;
configuration.requestCachePolicy = NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData;
OCURLSessionManager *uploadSessionManager = [[OCURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];
[uploadSessionManager.operationQueue setMaxConcurrentOperationCount:1];
[uploadSessionManager setSessionDidReceiveAuthenticationChallengeBlock:^NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition (NSURLSession *session, NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *challenge, NSURLCredential * __autoreleasing *credential) {
return NSURLSessionAuthChallengePerformDefaultHandling;
}];
sharedOCCommunication = [[OCCommunication alloc] initWithUploadSessionManager:uploadSessionManager];
}
return sharedOCCommunication;
}
Set credentials
---------------
Authentication on the app is possible by 3 different methods:
* Basic authentication, user name and password
* Cookie
* Token (oAuth)
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
#Basic authentication, user name and password
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] setCredentialsWithUser : userName andPassword : password ];
#Authentication with cookie
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] setCredentialsWithCookie : cookie ];
#Authentication with token
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] setCredentialsOauthWithToken : token ];
Create a folder
---------------
Create a new folder on the cloud server, the info needed to be sent is the path
of the new folder.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] createFolder :path onCommunication : [ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ]
successRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSString *redirectedServer) {
//Folder Created
}
failureRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
//Failure
switch (response.statusCode) {
case kOCErrorServerUnauthorized :
//Bad credentials
break;
case kOCErrorServerForbidden :
//Forbidden
break;
case kOCErrorServerPathNotFound :
//Not Found
break;
case kOCErrorServerTimeout :
//timeout
break;
default:
//default
break;
}
}
errorBeforeRequest :^( NSError *error) {
//Error before request
if (error.code == OCErrorForbidenCharacters) {
//Forbidden characters
}
else
{
//Other error
}
}];
 
Read folder
-----------
Get the content of an existing folder on the cloud server, the info needed to
be sent is the path of the folder. As answer of this method, it will be
received an array with all the files and folders stored in the selected folder.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication] readFolder:path onCommunication:[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication]
successRequest:^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSArray *items, NSString *redirectedServer) {
//Success
for ( OCFileDto * ocFileDto in items) {
NSLog( @"item path: %@%@" , ocFileDto.filePath, ocFileDto.fileName);
}
}
failureRequest:^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
//Failure
switch (response.statusCode) {
case kOCErrorServerPathNotFound :
//Path not found
break;
case kOCErrorServerUnauthorized :
//Bad credentials
break;
case kOCErrorServerForbidden :
//Forbidden
break;
case kOCErrorServerTimeout :
//Timeout
break ;
default :
break;
}
}];
Read file
---------
Get information related to a certain file or folder. Although, more information
can be obtained, the library only gets the eTag.
Other properties of the file or folder may be obtained: filePath, filename,
isDirectory, size and date
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] readFile :path onCommunication :[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ]
successRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSArray *items, NSString *redirectedServer) {
OCFileDto *ocFileDto = [items objectAtIndex : 0 ];
NSLog ( @"item etag: %lld" , ocFileDto. etag); }
failureRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
switch (response.statusCode) {
case kOCErrorServerPathNotFound:
//Path not found
break;
case kOCErrorServerUnauthorized:
//Bad credentials
break;
case kOCErrorServerForbidden:
//Forbidden
break;
case kOCErrorServerTimeout:
//Timeout
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
Move file or folder
-------------------
Move a file or folder from their current path to a new one on the cloud server.
The info needed is the origin path and the destiny path.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] moveFileOrFolder :sourcePath toDestiny :destinyPath onCommunication :[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ]
successRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSString *redirectedServer) {
//File/Folder moved or renamed
}
failureRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
//Failure
switch (response.statusCode) {
case kOCErrorServerPathNotFound:
//Path not found
break;
case kOCErrorServerUnauthorized:
//Bad credentials
break;
case kOCErrorServerForbidden:
//Forbidden
break;
case kOCErrorServerTimeout:
//Timeout
break;
default:
break;
}
}
errorBeforeRequest :^( NSError *error) {
if (error.code == OCErrorMovingTheDestinyAndOriginAreTheSame) {
//The destiny and the origin are the same
}
else if (error.code == OCErrorMovingFolderInsideHimself) {
//Moving folder inside himself
}
else if (error.code == OCErrorMovingDestinyNameHaveForbiddenCharacters) {
//Forbidden Characters
}
else
{
//Default
}
}];
Delete file or folder
---------------------
Delete a file or folder on the cloud server. The info needed is the path to
delete.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
 
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] deleteFileOrFolder :path onCommunication :[ AppDelegate
sharedOCCommunication ] successRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSString *redirectedServer) {
//File or Folder deleted
}
failureRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {

default:
break;
}
}];
Download a file
---------------
Download an existing file on the cloud server. The info needed is the server
URL, path of the file on the server and localPath, path where the file will be
stored on the device and a boolean to indicate if is neccesary to use LIFO queue or FIFO.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
NSOperation *op = nil;
op = [[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] downloadFile :remotePath toDestiny :localPath withLIFOSystem:isLIFO onCommunication :[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ]
progressDownload :^( NSUInteger bytesRead, long long totalBytesRead, long long totalBytesExpectedToRead) {

}
shouldExecuteAsBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler :^{
[op cancel ];
}];
Download a file with background session
-------------------------------------
Download an existing file storaged on the cloud server using background session, only supported by iOS 7 and higher.
The info needed is, the server URL: path where the file is stored on the server; localPath: path where the file will be stored on the device; and NSProgress: object where get the callbacks of the upload progress.
To get the callbacks of the progress is needed use a KVO in the progress object. We add the code in this example of the call to set the KVO and the method where catch the notifications.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *downloadTask = nil;
NSProgress *progress = nil;
downloadTask = [_sharedOCCommunication downloadFileSession:serverUrl toDestiny:localPath defaultPriority:YES onCommunication:_sharedOCCommunication withProgress:&progress successRequest:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSURL *filePath) {
//Upload complete
} failureRequest:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
switch (error.code) {
case kCFURLErrorUserCancelledAuthentication:
//Authentication cancelled
break;
default:
switch (response.statusCode) {
case kOCErrorServerUnauthorized :
//Bad credentials
break;
case kOCErrorServerForbidden:
//Forbidden
break;
case kOCErrorProxyAuth:
//Proxy access required
break;
case kOCErrorServerPathNotFound:
//Path not found
break;
default:
//Default
break;
}
break;
}
}];
// Observe fractionCompleted using KVO
[progress addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"fractionCompleted" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:NULL];
//Method to catch the progress notifications with callbacks
- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
if ([keyPath isEqualToString:@"fractionCompleted"] && [object isKindOfClass:[NSProgress class]]) {
NSProgress *progress = (NSProgress *)object;
float percent = roundf (progress.fractionCompleted * 100);
//We make it on the main thread because we came from a delegate
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
NSLog(@"Progress is %f", percent);
});
}
}

Unshare a folder or file by link
--------------------------------
Stop sharing by link a file or a folder from your cloud server.
The info needed is Path, your server URL and the Id of the item that you want
to Unshare.
Before unsharing an item, you have to read the shared items on the selected
server, using the method “ readSharedByServer ” so that you get the array
“items” with all the shared elements. These are objects OCShareDto, one of
their properties is idRemoteShared, parameter needed to unshared an element.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ] unShareFileOrFolderByServer :path andIdRemoteSharedShared :sharedByLink. idRemoteShared onCommunication :[ AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication ]

}
failureRequest :^( NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
//Error
}
];
Check if file of folder is shared
----------------------------------
Check if a specific file or folder is shared in your cloud server.
Teh info need is Path, your server URL and the Id of the item that you want.
Before check an item, you have to read the shared items on the selected
server, using the method “ readSharedByServer ” so that you get the array
“items” with all the shared elements. These are objects OCShareDto, one of
their properties is idRemoteShared, parameter needed to unshared an element.
Code example
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: objective-c
[[AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication] isShareFileOrFolderByServer:path andIdRemoteShared:_shareDto.idRemoteShared onCommunication:[AppDelegate sharedOCCommunication] successRequest:^(NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSString *redirectedServer, BOOL isShared) {
//File/Folder is shared
} failureRequest:^(NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
//File/Folder is not shared
}];
Tips
----
* Credentials must be set before calling any method
* Paths must not be on URL Encoding
* Correct path: ``http://www.myowncloudserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/Pop_Music/``
* Wrong path: ``http://www.myowncloudserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/Pop%20Music/``
* There are some forbidden characters to be used in folder and files names on the server, same on the ownCloud iOS library "\", "/","<",">",":",""","","?","*"
* To move a folder the origin path and the destination path must end with “/”
* To move a file the origin path and the destination path must not end with “/”
* Upload and download actions may be cancelled thanks to the object “NSOperation”
* Unit tests, before launching unit tests you have to enter your account information (server url, user and password) on OCCommunicationLibTests.m
