Save file in a different location in iPhone App
- by zp26
Hi,
I have a problem.
My proget create a xml file.
In the iPhone this file was store in the NSDocumentDirectory.
I wanna save this file in another directory like Desktop(where there are the apps) or another visible folder.
Thanks.
This is my code:
-(void)saveInXML:(NSString*)name:(float)x:(float)y:(float)z{
//NSDocumentDirectory put the file in the app directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectoryPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"filePosizioni.xml"];
NSFileHandle *myHandle;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *titoloXML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"File Xml delle posizioni del iPhone"];
NSString *inizioTag = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n\n\n<posizione>"];
NSString *tagName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n <name>%@</name>", name];
NSString *tagX = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n <x>%f</x>", x];
NSString *tagY = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n <y>%f</y>", y];
NSString *tagZ = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n <z>%f</z>", z];
NSString *fineTag= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n</posizione>"];
NSData* dataTitoloXML = [titoloXML dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataInizioTag = [inizioTag dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataName = [tagName dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataX = [tagX dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataY = [tagY dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataZ = [tagZ dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSData* dataFineTag = [fineTag dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
if(![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
[fileManager createFileAtPath:filePath contents:dataTitoloXML attributes:nil];
myHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForUpdatingAtPath:filePath];
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataInizioTag];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataName];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataX];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataY];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataZ];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
[myHandle writeData:dataFineTag];
NSLog(@"writeok");
[myHandle seekToEndOfFile];
NSLog(@"zp26 %@",filePath);
}
