Question

Im trying to create an folder in user library directory,but its not creating. Is there any mistake in the below code.

databaseName = @"KITSMAW0051_DB.sqlite";
// Get the path to the documents directory and append the databaseName
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *folder = @"Swasstik";
databasePath = [[documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:folder ] stringByAppendingPathComponent:databaseName];

Answer 1

Ok first of all databasePath describes a path to a file not a directory. But let’s say you actually want to create “Swasstik” folder inside user’s Library:

// Your code
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *folder = @"Swasstik";
// I edited here to keep only the folder
NSString *folderPath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:folder];

// At this point we got the path to the folder
// but we want to actually go on and create it
// NSFileManager to the rescue!
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
[manager createDirectoryAtPath: folderPath
 withIntermediateDirectories: NO
 attributes: nil
 error: nil];

Of course you can study and set the manager as you like and also implement some error handling. I hope that this makes sense…
