Description

I use this code: 
var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,"test.pdf");
var ret = f.write(this.responseData);
After "f.nativePath" value is: file:///Users/marco/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/7.0/Applications/A7304977-7E4F-489D-A143-045F52975DED/MyApp.app/file:/Users/marco/Library/Application%2520Support/iPhone%2520Simulator/7.0/Applications/A7304977-7E4F-489D-A143-045F52975DED/Documents/test.pdf and i can't load this url from webview or documentviewer Any suggestion please?

    Which version of the SDK are you using? are you using 3.1.3?

    Does the file save without error? It's just the display that is the problem?

    What if you try and manually find that URL on your computer?

    I assume this is the simulator, yes?

    1. ios sdk 7.0, Titanium Studio 3.1.2 GA 2. no, file is not saved! 3. folder/file not found - file not saved! 4. yes, simulator

    Please try the latest 3.1.3 SDK (http://builds.appcelerator.com.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#3_1_X). 3.1.2 may not work on iOS 7.

    I've updated Titanium with the latest SDK (3.1.3) but nothing ... always the same problem ...

    Can you please post the updated URL you get when saving the file with 3.1.3, and the exact SDK version you are using?

    This is the code we used for testing 
       var url = "http://www.appcelerator.com/assets/The_iPad_App_Wave.pdf";
    var client = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
        // function called when the response data is available
        onload : function(e) {
            Ti.API.info("SUCCESS");
            var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,"test.pdf");
            f.write(this.responseData);
            Ti.API.info(f.nativePath);
   
            var docViewer = Ti.UI.iOS.createDocumentViewer({
               url:f.nativePath
            })
            docViewer.show();
        },
        // function called when an error occurs, including a timeout
        onerror : function(e) {
            Ti.API.info(e.error);
        },
        timeout : 5000  // in milliseconds
    });
    // Prepare the connection.
    client.open("GET", url);
    // Send the request.
    client.send();

    Check to see if Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory is returning a trailing slash or not. I have found a couple of occasions over the past few versions of the Ti SDK where this is inconsistent, causing double-slash paths to crop in to apps here and there.

    Is this related? https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/153484/ios-7-compatibility-with-titanium-app#answer-264403
