Requirements:
1. You need the 4.0 version of the iPhone SDK. The version of your XCode should
be at least 3.2.3.
2. You need to have registered as a Dropbox application with mobile access at
http://dropbox.com/developers. You should have a consumer key and secret.
3. You need to download the dropbox sdk from https://www.dropbox.com/developers/releases
A. Adding DropboxSDK to your project
1. Open your project in XCode
2. Right-click on your project in the group tree in the left pane
3. Select Add -> Existing Files…
4. Navigate to where you uncompressed the Dropbox SDK and select the DropboxSDK
subfolder
5. Select “Copy items into destination group’s folder”
6. Make sure “Recursively create groups for any added folders” is selected
7. Press Add button
8. Find the Frameworks folder in your app’s group tree in the left pane
9. Make sure the framework Security.framework is added to your project
10. If not, right-click on Frameworks and select Add -> Existing Frameworks…
11. Select Security.framework from the list and select Add
12. Build your application. At this point you should have no build failures or
warning
B. Login successfully in your app
1. In your application delegate’s application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
method, add the following code:
DBSession* dbSession = [[[DBSession alloc] initWithConsumerKey:@"<YOUR CONSUMER KEY>" consumerSecret:@"<YOUR CONSUMER SECRET>"] autorelease];
[DBSession setSharedSession:dbSession];
Note: you will need to #import “DropboxSDK.h” at the top of this file
2. Somewhere in your app, add an event to launch the login controller, which
should look something like this:
- (void)didPressLink {
DBLoginController* controller = [[DBLoginController new] autorelease];
[controller presentFromController:self];
}
Note: you will need to #import “DropboxSDK.h” at the top of this file
C. Creating folder in your dropbox using your App
1. In your .m file add the below code,
@interface DropBoxViewController () < DBLoginControllerDelegate, DBRestClientDelegate> @property (nonatomic, readonly) DBRestClient* restClient;
@end
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark DBLoginControllerDelegate methods
- (void)loginControllerDidLogin:(DBLoginController*)controller
{
restClient = [self restClient];
[restClient setDelegate:self];
[def setBool:YES forKey:@"userLoggedToDropboxAccnt"];
[NSUserDefaults resetStandardUserDefaults];
[restClient loadMetadata:@"" withHash:photosHash];
}
- (void)loginControllerDidCancel:(DBLoginController*)controller {
}
- (DBRestClient*)restClient {
if (restClient == nil) {
restClient = [[DBRestClient alloc] initWithSession:[DBSession sharedSession]];
restClient.delegate = self;
}
return restClient;
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark DBRestClientDelegate methods
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata {
[photosHash release];
photosHash = [metadata.hash retain];
NSMutableArray* newPhotoPaths = [NSMutableArray new];
for (DBMetadata* child in metadata.contents) {
[newPhotoPaths addObject:child.path];
}
[photoPaths release];
photoPaths = newPhotoPaths;
self.contentArray = photoPaths;
if([photoPaths containsObject:folderNmTxtField.text]){
}
else{
[restClient createFolder:folderNmTxtField.text];
}
}
photosHash is of type NSString defined in .h file
photoPaths is an NSArray defined in .h file
D.Uploading file in yur dropbox using your app
if restClient not initialized earlier, add the below code
restClient=[self restClient];
[restClient setDelegate:self];
[restClient loadMetadata:@"" withHash:photosHash];
for uploading,
[restClient uploadFile: filename toPath: (folder in which file is to be uploaded) fromPath: (path of the file to be uploaded);
