I found an example that shows how to do sync & async at stackoverflow.com here! This code is just perfect! I want to know how to add Progress Bar for Download Progress for indication. What is the easiest and fastest approach for this? I have a table view with some files to download and each cell heigh is more than 200px so it would be nice if i can add a view or subview programmatically and dismiss it when download is finished.

import Foundation
class HttpDownloader {
class func loadFileSync(url: NSURL, completion:(path:String, error:NSError!) -> Void) {
let documentsUrl = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask).first as! NSURL
let destinationUrl = documentsUrl.URLByAppendingPathComponent(url.lastPathComponent!)
if NSFileManager().fileExistsAtPath(destinationUrl.path!) {
println("file already exists [\(destinationUrl.path!)]")
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:nil)
} else if let dataFromURL = NSData(contentsOfURL: url){
if dataFromURL.writeToURL(destinationUrl, atomically: true) {
println("file saved [\(destinationUrl.path!)]")
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:nil)
} else {
println("error saving file")
let error = NSError(domain:"Error saving file", code:1001, userInfo:nil)
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:error)
}
} else {
let error = NSError(domain:"Error downloading file", code:1002, userInfo:nil)
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:error)
}
}
class func loadFileAsync(url: NSURL, completion:(path:String, error:NSError!) -> Void) {
let documentsUrl = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask).first as! NSURL
let destinationUrl = documentsUrl.URLByAppendingPathComponent(url.lastPathComponent!)
if NSFileManager().fileExistsAtPath(destinationUrl.path!) {
println("file already exists [\(destinationUrl.path!)]")
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:nil)
} else {
let sessionConfig = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: sessionConfig, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: { (data: NSData!, response: NSURLResponse!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
if let response = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse {
println("response=\(response)")
if response.statusCode == 200 {
if data.writeToURL(destinationUrl, atomically: true) {
println("file saved [\(destinationUrl.path!)]")
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:error)
} else {
println("error saving file")
let error = NSError(domain:"Error saving file", code:1001, userInfo:nil)
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:error)
}
}
}
}
else {
println("Failure: \(error.localizedDescription)");
completion(path: destinationUrl.path!, error:error)
}
})
task.resume()
}
}
}
USAGE
let url = NSURL(string: "http://www.mywebsite.com/myfile.pdf")
HttpDownloader.loadFileAsync(url, completion:{(path:String, error:NSError!) in
println("pdf downloaded to: \(path)")
})
And where should i get that values from 0.0 to 1.0? I understand that i should divide total size to current downloaded size but where are that variables?
