iPhone - posting image to Tumblr using API will not actually post
Hey guys, I am attempting to post and image-type post to Tumblr using someone's created code in a button press however when the button is pressed the NSLogs do not show up. Th开发者_JAVA百科e view that takes in the information is a modal view, if that is any different.
- (IBAction)createPost {
NSString *caption = @"This is a test";
[self sendPhotoToTumblr:UIImagePNGRepresentation(foodImage.image) usingEmail:email andPassword:password withCaption:caption];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (BOOL)sendPhotoToTumblr:(NSData *)photo usingEmail:(NSString *)tumblrEmail andPassword:(NSString *)tumblrPassword withCaption:(NSString *)caption;
{
//get image data from file
NSData *imageData = photo;
//stop on error
if (!imageData) return NO;
//Create dictionary of post arguments
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"email",@"password",@"type",@"caption",nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
tumblrEmail,
tumblrPassword,
@"photo", caption, nil];
NSDictionary *keysDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
//create tumblr photo post
NSURLRequest *tumblrPost = [self createTumblrRequest:keysDict withData:imageData];
[keysDict release];
//send request, return YES if successful
tumblrConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:tumblrPost delegate:self];
if (!tumblrConnection) {
NSLog(@"Failed to submit request");
return NO;
} else {
NSLog(@"Request submitted");
receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
[tumblrConnection release];
return YES;
}
}
- (NSURLRequest *)createTumblrRequest:(NSDictionary *)postKeys withData:(NSData *)data
{
//create the URL POST Request to tumblr
NSURL *tumblrURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.tumblr.com/api/write"];
NSMutableURLRequest *tumblrPost = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:tumblrURL];
[tumblrPost setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
//Add the header info
NSString *stringBoundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"0xKhTmLbOuNdArY"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",stringBoundary];
[tumblrPost addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
//create the body
NSMutableData *postBody = [NSMutableData data];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//add key values from the NSDictionary object
NSEnumerator *keys = [postKeys keyEnumerator];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < [postKeys count]; i++) {
NSString *tempKey = [keys nextObject];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%@\"\r\n\r\n",tempKey] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[postKeys objectForKey:tempKey]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
//add data field and file data
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"data\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[NSData dataWithData:data]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//add the body to the post
[tumblrPost setHTTPBody:postBody];
return tumblrPost;
}
I feel as though my problems are from me not being able to understand the API plus the fact that I don't really understand NSURLRequests as much as I have read into it. Also, is there a way to have the UIWebView reload after this modalview is dismissed? Any advice would be great!
EDIT: After doing some NSLog testing, I find out that it bails out after it attempts to get the image data from file. I had just put in an image that I had in the project as a placeholder, however I eventually wish to have the user either pick a photo from their camera roll or take a new one..could this be why? Also..how would I pass in that type of picture using an NSString?
EDIT (AGAIN): I changed the sendPhotoToTumblr to accept NSData of a photo instead of a string because I could not figure out how to pass in the image as a string. I have had it go through the whole code and it says "Request Submitted" however nothing is posted. I know receivedData contains the HTTP error code that Tumblr responds with, however I do not know how to print it. Thoughts?
The reason this was not working is because I did not realize that the iPhone stored the images as .jpgs instead of .png.
[self sendPhotoToTumblr:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(foodImage.image, 0.5) usingEmail:email andPassword:password withCaption:caption];
And change the beginning of sendPhotoToTumblr to
- (BOOL)sendPhotoToTumblr:(NSData *)photo usingEmail:(NSString *)tumblrEmail andPassword:(NSString *)tumblrPassword withCaption:(NSString *)caption;
{
//get image data from file
//NSData *imageData = photo;
//stop on error
if (!photo) return NO;
//Create dictionary of post arguments
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"email",@"password",@"type",@"caption",nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
tumblrEmail,
tumblrPassword,
@"photo", caption, nil];
NSDictionary *keysDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
//create tumblr photo post
NSURLRequest *tumblrPost = [self createTumblrRequest:keysDict withData:photo];
[keysDict release];
