Is there any way to get progress from dataTaskWithURL
in swift while the data is downloading?
NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(...)
I need to show progress bar while the data is downloading.
you can use this code for showing download process with progress bar with its delegate functions.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController,NSURLSessionDelegate,NSURLSessionDataDelegate{
@IBOutlet weak var progress: UIProgressView!
var buffer:NSMutableData = NSMutableData()
var session:NSURLSession?
var dataTask:NSURLSessionDataTask?
let url = NSURL(string:"https://i.sstatic.net/b8zkg.png" )!
var expectedContentLength = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
progress.progress = 0.0
let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let manqueue = NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()
session = NSURLSession(configuration: configuration, delegate:self, delegateQueue: manqueue)
dataTask = session?.dataTaskWithRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: url))
dataTask?.resume()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, dataTask: NSURLSessionDataTask, didReceiveResponse response: NSURLResponse, completionHandler: (NSURLSessionResponseDisposition) -> Void) {
//here you can get full lenth of your content
expectedContentLength = Int(response.expectedContentLength)
println(expectedContentLength)
completionHandler(NSURLSessionResponseDisposition.Allow)
}
func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, dataTask: NSURLSessionDataTask, didReceiveData data: NSData) {
buffer.appendData(data)
let percentageDownloaded = Float(buffer.length) / Float(expectedContentLength)
progress.progress = percentageDownloaded
}
func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, task: NSURLSessionTask, didCompleteWithError error: NSError?) {
//use buffer here.Download is done
progress.progress = 1.0 // download 100% complete
}
}
