I want to play music while downloading, so i play music with local file, how can i get file path in tmp directory while downloading with NSURLSession.
The method URLSession:downloadTask:didFinishDownloadingToURL: than only call while file downloaded, so what should i do
If you want to get file location as it's being downloaded, just don't use download task. For example, create a NSURLSessionDataTask
and stream it to persistent storage yourself (e.g. create your own NSOutputStream
for local file in persistent storage and open it, and then in didReceiveData
, just write the data to your stream, and close the stream when you're all done). Then you can do whatever else you want with the stream/file. If using AFNetworking, I believe that the AFHTTPRequestOperation
exposes an outputStream
property for this purpose, too.
Just like what @matt said, before the download ends you could do nothing except wait.
But you could consider use AudioStreamer to play your music while downloading.
