Add Dropbox Files To UITableView - objective-c

Question

I am trying to load my dropbox files into a UITableView but they are not showing up. I did every step from registering my app on dropbox.com and implementing the session delegate in my app. Here is my code can anyone tell me whats wrong with it. Im pretty sure i declared everything correctly but i cant seem to find the problem. Also i know its not a connection issue because i added an NSLog and it logs the files.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <DropboxSDK/DropboxSDK.h>
#interface testViewController : UITableViewController <DBRestClientDelegate>
{
DBRestClient *restClient;
NSMutableArray *dropboxURLs;
}
#end
#import "testViewController.h"
#interface testViewController ()
#end
#implementation testViewController
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (DBRestClient *)restClient {
if (!restClient) {
restClient =
[[DBRestClient alloc] initWithSession:[DBSession sharedSession]];
restClient.delegate = self;
}
return restClient;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
dropboxURLs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[[self restClient] loadMetadata:#"/"];
}
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient *)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata *)metadata {
if (metadata.isDirectory) {
for (DBMetadata *file in metadata.contents) {
if (!file.isDirectory)
{
NSLog(#"%#", file.filename);
[dropboxURLs addObject:file.filename];
}
}
}
}
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient *)client
loadMetadataFailedWithError:(NSError *)error {
NSLog(#"Error loading metadata: %#", error);
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return dropboxURLs.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"FileCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [dropboxURLs objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
#end

Answer 1

Reload the table view after you add things to the dropboxURLs array.
[self.tableView reloadData];

Answer 2

Try something like this immediately after your addObject call:
[self.tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];

Answer 3

-(void)restClient:(DBRestClient *)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata *)metadata {
if (metadata.isDirectory) {
for (DBMetadata *file in metadata.contents) {
if (!file.isDirectory)
{
NSLog(#"%#", file.filename);
[dropboxURLs addObject:file.filename];
}
}
}
[self. tableView reloadData];
}
Don't forget to set delegate and datasource of UITableView to self.

Answer 4

we have to load data from DropBoxRoot
After MetaData is loaded ,reload the tableview
(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
dropboxURLs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[self loadData];
}
-(void) loadData{
if ([DBSession sharedSession].root == kDBRootDropbox) {
photosRoot = #"/";//can specify any folder like /Photos,/Public etc
}
[self.restClient loadMetadata:photosRoot withHash:photosHash];
}
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata {
photosHash = metadata.hash;
NSArray* validExtensions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"jpg", #"jpeg",#"png",#"txt",#"pdf",#"doc",#"mp3",#"mp4", nil];
for (DBMetadata* child in metadata.contents) {
NSString* extension = [[child.path pathExtension] lowercaseString];
if (!child.isDirectory && [validExtensions indexOfObject:extension] != NSNotFound) {
[directory addObject:child.filename];
}else{
[allFileAndDirectory addObject:child.filename];
}
[myTableView reloadData];
}
