I'm using UIDocumentPickerViewController to select documents from the Files and upload it to a server. I'm able to successfully access Files, but upon clicking on the file the delegate method doesn't get called.
I've used the following code to call the document picker:
class Uploads: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func uploadDocument(_ sender: Any) {
let documentPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [String(kUTTypePDF), String(kUTTypePlainText)], in: .import)
documentPicker.delegate = self
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
documentPicker.allowsMultipleSelection = false
} else {
}
present(documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
/*
// MARK: - Navigation
// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
// Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}
*/
}
extension Uploads: UIDocumentPickerDelegate {
func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentsAt urls: [URL]) {
print(urls.first)
}
func documentPickerWasCancelled(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController) {
print("Cancelled")
}
}
I noticed that I'm getting the following warning upon calling the delegate method:
Instance method 'documentPicker(:didPickDocumentsAt:)' nearly matches optional requirement 'documentPicker(:didPickDocumentsAt:)' of protocol 'UIDocumentPickerDelegate'
Make 'documentPicker(_:didPickDocumentsAt:)' private to silence this warning
I believe that the delegate method isn't being called due to this warning, although I couldn't figure out why I'm getting this warning.
Sharing code sample hopefully it'll help:
class ViewController : UIViewController,UIDocumentPickerDelegate{
var documentBrowser: UIDocumentPickerViewController = {
let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
let browser = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [documentsPath], in: .open)
browser.allowsMultipleSelection = true
return browser
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.addChild(documentBrowser)
documentBrowser.view.frame = self.view.bounds
view.addSubview(documentBrowser.view)
}
func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentsAt urls: [URL]){
print(urls)
}
}
