how to get URL Path for directory inside Document directory?

Question

How can I get url path for a particular directory inside Document Directory.

like Document/Art/

My code

- (NSURL *)localRoot {
if (_localRoot != nil) {
    return _localRoot;
}

NSArray * paths = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];

_localRoot = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return _localRoot;
}

The above code is url path for Documents directory but I need Art document directory path.

Answer 1

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *yourArtPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"/Art"];

Answer 2

Use this

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *appFile_a = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"/Art"];

Answer 3

Application.StartupPath;

is used to find your path where your application is being started, if that is what you mean.

Answer 4

Based on above answer here is an simple methode that returns, path for given directory:

+ (NSString *) pathFor : (NSString *) directoryName{
    return [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject] stringByAppendingPathComponent:directoryName];
}

You need to implement it in ClassName.m and call as:

NSString *pathForDirectory = [ClassName pathFor:dirName]; //@"Art" in your case
