An excellent day of coding today as I spent the day hooking up the database storage to the iPhone. This was all new to me but there’s some good documentation out there. I used some sample code from Bill Dudney and Chris Adamson’s book “iPhone SDK Development” so I could get used to using SQLite (cos I’m a MySQL kinda guy).The most useful thing I learned today….. the way that the SDK will copy the SQLite database to a WHOLE new place. Turns out the insert code was working fine I just didn’t know where it was going.
NSArray *searchPaths =
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentFolderPath = [searchPaths objectAtIndex: 0];
dbFilePath = [documentFolderPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:
DATABASE_FILE_NAME];
NSLog(documentFolderPath); is your friend.So it’s all coming along nicely, the first commit went up to github this afternoon so other people can have a play with it (assuming that you’re all bored with the snow now). The next job is to bundle up the saved locations and send them to a server (somewhere to be decided). There’s plenty of resources on getting an iPhone app to pull JSON data in from a URL but not a lot about transmitting it. This is going to be fun 🙂
