1,876 PointsError when showing image
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
PFFile *imageFile = [self.message objectForKey:@"file"];
NSURL *imageFileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:imageFile.url]; // i get an error here
NSData *imagedata = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageFileURL];
self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imagedata];
}
In console it says : Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSURL initWithString:relativeToURL:]: nil string parameter'
Checked and everything else in uploadMessage method is correct, and it's also spelled file correctly.

9,523 PointsSorry I am just trying to follow the code along. Next would be the didSelectRowAtIndexPath in the InboxViewController. This is what I have:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
self.selectedMessage = [self.messages objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *fileType = [self.selectedMessage objectForKey:@"fileType"];
if ([fileType isEqualToString:@"image"]) {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showImage" sender:self];
} else {
PFFile *videoFile = [self.selectedMessage objectForKey:@"file"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoFile.url];
self.moviePlayer.contentURL = fileURL;
[self.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
// [self.moviePlayer thumbnailImageAtTime:0 timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame];
[self.view addSubview:self.moviePlayer.view];
[self.moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
}
NSMutableArray *recipientIds = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[self.selectedMessage objectForKey:@"recipientIds"]];
if ([recipientIds count] == 1) {
[self.selectedMessage deleteInBackground];
} else {
[recipientIds removeObject: [[PFUser currentUser] objectId]];
[self.selectedMessage setObject:recipientIds forKey:@"recipientIds"];
[self.selectedMessage saveInBackground];
}
}
The only differences we have are that you have "recipientIDs" and I have "recipientsIds". And that doesn't matter if you are seeing everything.

9,523 PointsCan you see the image in the Parse.com dashboard?
AbdelGhafour Mohie
1,876 PointsYes, so do the recipients, it also shows in NSLog
Patrick Donahue
9,523 PointsHMM.... try this Stack Overflow answer.
Your code looks the same as mine. But I did this a while ago and not sure how it flows from a quick view. I will look more into the project.
Patrick Donahue
9,523 PointsDouble check the uploadMessage method in the CameraViewController. Something might be uploading incorrectly.
AbdelGhafour Mohie
1,876 Pointsok, the urlWithString method worked, it doesn't crash, but now the app itself is messed up, the image it self doesn't show, and when i try to send an image again, recipients don't show, although they used to show before.
Patrick Donahue
9,523 PointsSwitch it back to initWithString and lets look at the upLoadMEssage method.
AbdelGhafour Mohie
1,876 PointsSwitched back and same error occurred.
-(void) uploadMessage {
NSData *fileData;
NSString *fileName;
NSString *fileType;
//check if it's image or video
if (self.image != nil) {
UIImage *newImage = [self resizeImage:self.image toWidth:320.0f andHight:480.0f];
fileData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage);
fileName = @"image.png";
fileType = @"image";
}
else {
fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:self.videoFilePath];
fileName = @"video.mov";
fileType = @"video";
}
PFFile *file = [PFFile fileWithName:fileName data:fileData];
[file saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error Occured" message:@"Please try sending again" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Got It" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alertView show];
}
else {
PFObject *message = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"Messages"];
[message setObject:file forKey:@"file"];
[message setObject:fileType forKey:@"fileType"];
[message setObject:self.recipients forKey:@"recipientIDs"];
[message setObject:[[PFUser currentUser] objectId] forKey:@"senderID"];
[message setObject:[[PFUser currentUser] username] forKey:@"senderName"];
[message saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error Occured" message:@"Please try sending again" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Got It" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertView show];
}
else {
//everything was successful, nothing to be done here because the user will be sent back to inbox in the original method
[self reset];
}
}];
}
}];
//if image, shrink it
//Upload the file itself
//Upload message details
}

1,876 PointsProblem Solved. It was the prepareForSegue in inboxViewController. My God apps are very boring, i got into programming in order to make games, they are my passion and i have so many great ideas for making them. I think i will jump into game developing.
Anyway Thank You patrick for your efforts. :)

9,523 PointsYou're welcome!
Unity and Unreal are good game editors. But Unreal isn't for Mac. :-(

9,523 PointsI have a feeling you may have a "file" key or a "fileType" key somewhere that is wrong.
