// file: android/app/build.gradle
...
dependencies {
...
compile project(':react-native-document-picker')
}
// file: MainApplication.java

/**
* A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
* or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.

...
}
Example
import { DocumentPicker, DocumentPickerUtil } from 'react-native-document-picker';
// iPhone/Android
DocumentPicker.show({
filetype: [DocumentPickerUtil.images()],
},(error,res) => {
// Android
console.log(
res.uri,
res.type, // mime type
res.fileName,
res.fileSize
);
});
// iPad
const {pageX, pageY} = event.nativeEvent;
DocumentPicker.show({
top: pageY,
left: pageX,
filetype: ['public.image'],
}, (error, url) => {
alert(url);
});

How to send it back ?
I recommend using https://github.com/johanneslumpe/react-native-fs
I had to modify Uploader.m so it would use NSFileCoordinator
with NSFileCoordinatorReadingForUploading
option.
I added a check for file length that would be thrown into RNFS catch block.
if ([fileData length] == 0) {
NSError *errorUp = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"com.whatever.yourapp" code:77 userInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"empty" forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey]];
_params.errorCallback(errorUp);
return;
}
let url = "file://whatever/com.bla.bla/file.ext"; //The url you received from the DocumentPicker
// I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ADDING A SMALL SETTIMEOUT before uploading the url you just got.
const split = url.split('/');
const name = split.pop();
const inbox = split.pop();
const realPath = `${RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath}${inbox}/${name}`;
const uploadBegin = (response) => {
const jobId = response.jobId;
console.log('UPLOAD HAS BEGUN! JobId: ' + jobId);
};
const uploadProgress = (response) => {
const percentage = Math.floor((response.totalBytesSent/response.totalBytesExpectedToSend) * 100);
console.log('UPLOAD IS ' + percentage + '% DONE!');
};
RNFS.uploadFiles({
toUrl: uploadUrl,
files: [{
name,
filename:name,
filepath: realPath,
}],
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
},
begin: uploadBegin,
beginCallback: uploadBegin, // Don't ask me, only way I made it work as of 1.5.1
progressCallback: uploadProgress,
progress: uploadProgress
})
.then((response) => {
console.log(response,"<<< Response");
if (response.statusCode == 200) { //You might not be getting a statusCode at all. Check
console.log('FILES UPLOADED!');
} else {
console.log('SERVER ERROR');
}
})
.catch((err) => {
if (err.description) {
switch (err.description) {
case "cancelled":
console.log("Upload cancelled");
break;
case "empty"
console.log("Empty file");
default:
//Unknown
}
} else {
//Weird
}
console.log(err);
});
File Type
All type of Files 'public.allFiles' or DocumentPickerUtil.allFiles()
Only PDF 'public.pdf' or DocumentPickerUtil.pdf()
Audio 'public.audio' or DocumentPickerUtil.audio()
Plain Text 'public.plainText' or DocumentPickerUtil.plainText()
Reminder
You need to enable iCloud Documents to access iCloud
Halp wanted: Improvements
- Fix Xcode warning about constraints
- support options for the UIDocumentMenuViewController
- Handle Upload by itself ?
