API V2 Objective C search for filetype
Hi,
I am trying to list all pdf's in my Dropbox. I am getting the results back so my question is how do I handle the response?
[[client.filesRoutes search:@"//" query:@".pdf"] setResponseBlock:^(DBFILESListFolderResult *response, DBFILESListFolderError *routeError, DBRequestError *networkError) { if (response) { NSArray<DBFILESMetadata *> *entries = response.entries; //CRASHES HERE 'unrecognized selector' }
I figured it out.
The correct way to handle it is to change the return type of the response to:
DBFILESSearchResult *response
Then the type of the array to:
NSArray<DBFILESSearchMatch *> *entries = response.matches;
The you can iterate through the results like so:
for (DBFILESMetadata *entry in entries) { NSLog(@"output - %@", entry); }
You're welcome!
