AMPPreviewController
AMPPreviewController is a subclass of QLPreviewController that allows you to preview remote documents.
This class is designed to work with only one document at a time.
Also you can use a NSURL directly! Without the need of creating a QLPreviewItem conforming object. So the developer doesn't need to deal with dataSource methods, just instantiate and present ;)
Usage
With a remote URL
Just open a remote url:
NSURL *remoteURL = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc]
initWithRemoteFile:remoteURL];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];
You can also execute a block when the download starts or ends:
[pc setStartDownloadBlock:^(){
...
}];
[pc setFinishDownloadBlock:^(NSError *error){
...
}];
With a local path
You can also load a local file. This is the same as using the QLPreviewController but more simple if you just want to present a single file.
NSURL *localPath = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc] initWithFilePath:localPath];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];
With a preview item
MyItem *item = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc] initWithPreviewItem:item];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];
The item must conform to the QLPreviewItem
protocol.
Additionally it can also conform to AMPPreviewItem
wich adds the required remoteUrl
method.
It will be the same as using the initWithRemoteFile:
method but with your own object.
Installation
AMPPreviewController is available through CocoaPods, to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "AMPPreviewController"
