Downloading all the files in a folder using CoreSDK
Since you are deprecating the Datastore and Sync SDKs for iOS. I'll need to redo quite a bit of stuff. Anyway, one of the things I'll need to do now is:
I want to download all the files in a partic...
Thing is, this is a replacement for the Dropbox Datastores (thanks again /s), which were always synced to the device, so yes, I do need all the files in that folder ;)
The gist of what I'm doing and plan on doing is:
1) App starts up
2) App loads the metadata for 1 particular folder where these 10k json files are stored
3) LoadMetadata finishes, with 1 metadata object (called metadata) that has a member called contents, which has 10k items in it.
4) for var m in metadata.contents { addToLoadFileQueueIfNecessary(m) }
5) 1 by 1 go through the queue, loading each file.
6) poll to check if there are any changes and repeat.
Its a bit odd that it always happens at file number 172, so perhaps there's something wrong with that file. Weird if there is because loadMetadata is called right before really.
Part of me was wondering whether because I'm creating all of the DBRequests but not starting them. That perhaps once the queue has reached further down the list, they timeout immediately when I try to start them, because they were created X seconds ago. But its still too odd that its always 172 files.
I'll take a closer look tomorrow though, thanks for your help Gregory.
