sqlite3_open - Can't open database - iphone

I have the following statement in my code:
NSString *docsDir;
NSArray *dirPaths;
dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentationDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
docsDir = [dirPaths objectAtIndex:0];
databasePath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[docsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Notebook.sqlite"]];
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
const char *dbpath = [databasePath UTF8String];
NSLog(#"open sqlite at %s",dbpath);
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &noteDB)==SQLITE_OK)
the output of NSLog is
/Users/GinLin/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/CE1BAB1C-3DEC-4A1D-A083-537B0B51C99D/Library/Documentation/Notebook.sqlite
but it doesn't seem to be opening my database.
And I cannot find the folder "Documentation" under "/CE1BAB1C-3DEC-4A1D-A083-537B0B51C99D/Library/".
Could anyone help?

I believe you meant to use NSDocumentDirectory not NSDocumentationDirectory, e.g.:
NSArray *dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docsDir = [dirPaths objectAtIndex:0];

First you must check if the DB path contains de file, else, copy the DB
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString* resourcePath=[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"database.db"];
//Destination path
NSString *dbPath = [[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"database.db"];
//Find file
BOOL success = [fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];
if(success==YES){
NSLog(#"File found");
}else{
NSError* error;
if(![fileMgr copyItemAtPath:resourcePath toPath:dbPath error:&error]){
NSLog(#"Can't copy");
}else{
NSLog(#"That's all :D");
}
}

Name of folder in my directory path in iPhone

I am new to iPhone,
I want to check how many folders are there in my Document Directory and i want fetch name of all folders and i want to store it in my array.
I want only name of folders and not contents inside folder.
Any help will be appreciated.
NSFileManager *mgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *documentsDir [NSSearchPathsForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *allFilesInDocuments = [mgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDir error:NULL];
NSMutableArray *found = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSString *filename in allFilesInDocuments)
{
NSString *fullPath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];
BOOL isDir;
[mgr fileExistsAtPath:fullPath isDirectory:&isDir];
if (isDir) [found addObject:fullPath]; // or filename
}
now found should contain all the paths/names of the subdirectories of the Documents directory (i. e. entries in the Documents directory which are directories themselves.)
#define rootFileName XXXXXXXX
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *yourDirectory = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:rootFileName];
//fileList便是包含有该文件夹下所有文件的文件名及文件夹名的数组
NSArray *fileList = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:yourDirectory error:nil];
for(int i = 0; i < [fileList count]; i++)
{
NSString *fileName = [fileList objectAtIndex:i];
NSLog(#"yourFileName:%#",fileName);
if([fileName isEqualToString:#".DS_Store"])
{
NSString *dotDS_StorePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/.DS_Store",yourDirectory];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:dotDS_StorePath error:nil];
}
}
there is one thing you should know , the fileLists has a more file is .DS_Store , the file is created by the os.
DO this:
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *fileList = [[fileManager directoryContentsAtPath:yourDocumentPath] retain]; // your path here instead (DOCUMENTS_FOLDER)
NSMutableArray *directoryList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(NSString *file in fileList) {
NSString *path = [yourDocumentPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:file]; // create path for directory and check it exits or not as directory
BOOL isDir = NO;
[fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path isDirectory:(&isDir)];
if(isDir) {
[directoryList addObject:file];
}
}
NSLog(#"%#", directoryList);
take a look at the NSFileManager class
it sounds like you want the subpathsAtPath: method
here's the sample code
BOOL isDir=NO;
NSArray *subpaths;
NSString *fontPath = #"/System/Library/Fonts";
NSFileManager *fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:fontPath isDirectory:&isDir] && isDir)
subpaths = [fileManager subpathsAtPath:fontPath];
[fileManager release];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *filePathsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];
NSLog(#"files array %#", filePathsArray);
Simplest method:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *imageFilenames = [manager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];
for (int i = 0; i < [imageFilenames count]; i++)
{
NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",documentsDirectory,[imageFilenames objectAtIndex:i] ];
if (![[imageFilenames objectAtIndex:i]isEqualToString:#".DS_Store"])
{
NSLog(#"\n %#",imageName);
}
}

Where does iPhone simulator put data files?

If I compile my iPhone App with a database that has been built into the bundle what path do I have to use to find the file so that I can open it, as in:
FMDatabase* db = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:#"/???/database.sqlite"];
Inside your - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
set the following code:
databaseName=#"yourfileName.sqlite";
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
databasePath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:databaseName];
[self checkAndCreateDatabase];
-(void) checkAndCreateDatabase
{
BOOL success;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:databasePath];
if(success) return;
else
printf("NO File found");
NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:databaseName];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:databasePathFromApp toPath:databasePath error:nil];
}
You can use like this regardless of simulator or device. Please dont forget to add db file to your project folder and add to your bundle.
#define DATABASE #"databasefile.sqlite"
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
databasePath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:DATABASE]];

how do we open an already existing database fmdb and where to include it?

I am using fmdb but i am not knowing where to add the db file.
I found this old answer that i think it doesn't fit for xcode 4.2 (since we dont have 'Resources' folder anymore).
I created a database in 'Lita', added the extension .sqlite and added the db file as follows :
then tried to use the following
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [docsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"db.sqlite"];
FMDatabase *database = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:path];
[database open];
FMResultSet *results = [database executeQuery:#"select * from tbl"];
printf("hi");
while([results next]) {
printf("hi2");
NSString *name = [results stringForColumn:#"clm1"];
NSString *text = [results stringForColumn:#"clm2"];
NSLog(#"test: %# - %#",name, text);
}
printf("done");
i am getting the 'hi' 'done' but never 'hi2'...
anyone can help?
You want to add the (compiled) database to the project as a resource, and then copy it into the documents folder of the app on first start-up.
Here is an example method that does the work, call it from the applicationDidFinishLaunching and use the resultant FMDatabase * for all you queries.
- (FMDatabase *)openDatabase
{
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *documents_dir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *db_path = [documents_dir stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"database.s3db"]];
NSString *template_path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"template_db" ofType:#"s3db"];
if (![fm fileExistsAtPath:db_path])
[fm copyItemAtPath:template_path toPath:db_path error:nil];
FMDatabase *db = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:db_path];
if (![db open])
NSLog(#"Failed to open database!");
return db;
}
I am working with the same issues right now. But to answer your question: the documents folder is the folder that is to be used in the device.
Put the database in the the supporting files folder.
Here is what works for me:
//hide status bar for full screen view
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
//set reference to database here
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
self.databasePath = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"RPRA.sqlite"];
[self createAndCheckDatabase];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;
}
//method used to create database and check if it exists
-(void) createAndCheckDatabase
{
BOOL success;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:self.databasePath];
if(success) return;
//else move database into documents folder
NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"RPRA.db"];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:databasePathFromApp toPath:self.databasePath error:nil];
}
- (void)ensureDBFile
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *dbFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"retails.sqlite"]];
NSLog(#"Database Filepath Delgate = %#", dbFilePath);
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
BOOL dbFileExists = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dbFilePath];
if(!dbFileExists){
//Copy the db file if it didn't exist
NSString *bundledDbPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"retails" ofType:#"sqlite"];
if (bundledDbPath != nil) {
BOOL copiedDbFile = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:bundledDbPath toPath:dbFilePath error:nil];
if (!copiedDbFile) {
NSLog(#"Error: Couldn't copy the db file from the bundle");
}
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error: Couldn't find the db file in the bundle");
}
}
self.db = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:dbFilePath];
[self.db setShouldCacheStatements:NO];
[self.db open];
if([self.db hadError]) {
NSLog(#"Database Error %d: %#", [self.db lastErrorCode], [self.db lastErrorMessage]);
}
}

Sharing multiple files on App Via iTunes File Sharing (Code shows 1 file)

I'm trying to file share multiple files with iTunes file share.
Here is the current code.
Delegate.h
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
// file sharing trying
{
NSString *fileName = #"Test.mp3";
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentDBFolderPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:documentDBFolderPath])
{
NSString *resourceDBFolderPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourceDBFolderPath toPath:documentDBFolderPath error:&error];
}
}
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
At the moment only 1 file gets shared.
Thanks
I assume you want to add a bunch of files in an NSArray? then loop through it like this:
NSArray *names = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"foo", #"bar", nil];
for (NSString *fileName in names)
{
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentDBFolderPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:documentDBFolderPath])
{
NSString *resourceDBFolderPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourceDBFolderPath toPath:documentDBFolderPath error:&error];
}
}
