i need to download a mp3 file from internet through my application and i found a solution , to use NSURLConnection and connection request. here is my code (code from another faq)
- (IBAction)downloadData:(id)sender
{
NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.org/mp3song"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:myURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:60];
[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
responseData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[responseData appendData:data];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
[responseData release];
[connection release];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
NSLog(#"Succeeded! Received %d bytes of data",[responseData
length]);
NSString *txt = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease];
}
how will i save this response data mp3 file to my local file of iPhone?
so i found the solution after a long googling which i forget to add the code
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *fileName = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myFile"];
[responseData writeToFile:fileName atomically:YES];
thankyou

Hi I have a project using NSurlConnection I just want to replace it with NSUrlSession .Following is the code .KIndly help with the changes.
- (IBAction)getResponse:(id)sender
{
[status setText:#"Retrieving response async"];
[response setText:#""];
NSURL *requestUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:url.text];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:requestUrl cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
[connection start];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSLog(#"Response recieved");
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection*) connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
NSLog(#"Data recieved");
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[response setText:responseString];
[status setText:#"Response retrieved async"];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
}
Try this
[[[NSURLSession sharedSession]dataTaskWithRequest:request
completionHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable data, NSURLResponse *
_Nullable response, NSError * _Nullable connectionError) {
//Handle your response
}] resume];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://192.168.1.50/download/1.jpg"];
//NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://192.168.1.50/download/3.mov"];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc]initWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:10];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *res = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response;
// NSLog(#"%#",[res allHeaderFields]);
self.receiveData = [NSMutableData data];
self.sumLength=response.expectedContentLength;
}
-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[self.receiveData appendData:data];
self.currentLength+=data.length;
double progress=(double)self.currentLength/self.sumLength;
self.progress.progress=progress;
}
-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);
NSString *ourDocumentPath =[documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *fileName=[ourDocumentPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"1.mov"];
if ([self.receiveData writeToURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fileName] atomically:YES])
{
NSLog(#"OK Sucess");
}else
{
NSLog(#"No Fail");
}
}
I use this method download both jpg and mov to document dir. but is not work to play and use [PHAssetResourceManager defaultManager] writeDataForAssetResource from photolibary to save same dir and load ok.

how to load them? thanks.
I am working on my new iPhone application,in that I need the datas and addresses from one url and from anther url I need to get the images. These two results are in the form of json response data but I am getting only the result for the datas....
Here is my code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
jsondataimg=[[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:#""];
#####for this url i'm not getting the result##########
NSString *urlimg = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?v=1.0&q=%#",name];
//NSLog(#"%#",urlimg);
NSURL *url1= [NSURL URLWithString:urlimg];
NSURLRequest *request1 = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: url1];
NSURLConnection *connection1 = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request1 delegate:self];
jsonData = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:#""];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=%#&sensor=false&key=your key",selectedname];
NSLog(#" the name is%#",selectedname);
NSLog(#" the reference is%#",selectedrefer);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: url];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
[connection release];
[request release];
[connection1 release];
[request1 release];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
NSString *partialData = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *partialData1 = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[jsondataimg appendString:partialData1];
[jsonData appendString:partialData];
[partialData release];
[partialData1 release];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
# pragma mark for fetching the image urls
NSDictionary *imageurls=[jsondataimg JSONValue];
NSDictionary*images=[imageurls objectForKey:#"responseData"];
NSLog(#"%#",images);
##########here null value is displaying#######
#pragma mark for fetching the datassss
NSDictionary *filesJSON = [jsonData JSONValue];
NSDictionary *address1 = [filesJSON valueForKey:#"result"];
NSLog(#"Found %#",address1);
}
Just use this no need to set delegate methods nsurl connections.. you will get the data...and same for next one.
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?v=1.0&q=mumbai"]]];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *strResponse = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// NSLog(#"%#",strResponse);
SBJSON *sbJason = [[SBJSON alloc] init];
NSMutableDictionary *getPlaceList = [sbJason objectWithString:strResponse];
i'm using the url connection with nsfile handle to receive the data from server,
this is the code that i use,
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse*)response {
filename = [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Ep1.mp4";
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:filename contents:nil attributes:nil];
file =[NSFileHandle fileHandleForUpdatingAtPath:filename] ;
if (file) {
[file seekToEndOfFile];
}}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {
if (file) {
[file seekToEndOfFile];
} [file writeData:data]; }
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection*)connection {
[file closeFile];
}
-(void)downloadFile{
targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://some url "];
DownloadRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad timeoutInterval:50.0];
DownloadConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:DownloadRequest delegate:self];
if (DownloadConnection) {
receivedData = [NSMutableData data];
}
}
i want to stop the connection, when downloading file, so, i create the button
--->
- (void)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
DownloadConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest: DownloadRequest delegate:self];
[ DownloadConnection cancel];
}
but doesn't work, the data still receiving, did i miss understand something?
or what can i do?
Edited :
this is the solution that i found:
- (void)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
DownloadConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest: DownloadRequest delegate:self];
[ self.DownloadConnection cancel];
}
add the self to cancel the current connection...
I need to wait for a response from a SOAP webservice, I am calling via a NSURLConnection as I need to manipulate the data being returned and then return it from my class to the calling class..
Here is my code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface UsersBLL : NSObject {

}
else
{

CheckEmailAddress is declared as returning an integer value (I know it returns nothing in the sample above).
What I ideally want, is through the CheckEmailAddress method, return the value retrieved from the web service. However as the call NSURLConnection does not wait until the request has completed, I cannot do it.
I would be grateful if anyone could give me any potential ideas for workarounds.
The simplest solution would be using [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:].
It does not allow as much control as the approach you've taken, but is usually enough for most applications.
I have just posted a solution which wraps an asynchronous NSURLConnection to be able to block the calling thread. In case you need more control than the standard [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:] you can check out this link on StackOverflow:
NSURLConnection blocking wrapper implemented with semaphores
You have two choices:
Use +[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:]
Schedule the connection in a custom runloop mode, and run the loop in that mode until the data arrives or you have need to cancel the connection
It all depends on the level of asynchronism you need:
If it's OK to stay blocked during the whole request you may want to use
+[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:]
But, as suggested by Wade, be careful to add a timeout to your NSURLRequest, otherwise the connection might blocks and your application will hang.
If not, you can simply use the NSNotificationCenter. But you must be careful with race conditions over your data, specially if you are handling multiple requests
