get progress from dataTaskWithURL in swift

Question

Is there any way to get progress from dataTaskWithURL in swift while the data is downloading?

NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(...)         


        

Answer 1

you can use this code for showing download process with progress bar with its delegate functions.

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController,NSURLSessionDelegate,NSURLSessionDataDelegate{

    @IBOutlet weak var progress: UIProgressView!

    var buffer:NSMutableData = NSMutableData()
    var session:NSURLSession?
    var dataTask:NSURLSessionDataTask?
    let url = NSURL(string:"http://i.stack.imgur.com/b8zkg.png" )!
    var expectedContentLength = 0


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        progress.progress = 0.0
        let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
        let manqueue = NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()
        session = NSURLSession(configuration: configuration, delegate:self, delegateQueue: manqueue)
        dataTask = session?.dataTaskWithRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: url))
        dataTask?.resume()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }
    func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, dataTask: NSURLSessionDataTask, didReceiveResponse response: NSURLResponse, completionHandler: (NSURLSessionResponseDisposition) -> Void) {

        //here you can get full lenth of your content
        expectedContentLength = Int(response.expectedContentLength)
        println(expectedContentLength)
        completionHandler(NSURLSessionResponseDisposition.Allow)
    }
    func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, dataTask: NSURLSessionDataTask, didReceiveData data: NSData) {


        buffer.appendData(data)

        let percentageDownloaded = Float(buffer.length) / Float(expectedContentLength)
        progress.progress =  percentageDownloaded
    }
    func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, task: NSURLSessionTask, didCompleteWithError error: NSError?) {
        //use buffer here.Download is done
        progress.progress = 1.0   // download 100% complete
    }
}
