Handling documents is a pretty useful feature within iOS apps, especially within a reading app.
Since there’s been a good number of interest in the document reader related resources I’ve posted recently, a tutorial I came across today looked like a very useful share.
This tutorial covers how to export documents to apps that are set up to document handling, and how to import apps using iTunes file sharing, and how to define your own application as one capable of document handling. What I like about this tutorial is that it goes from the ground up building a simple document reader, all the way through to using the mail app to open a document using your own document reading app.
The tutorial is from Wei Meng Lee, and can be found here:
Importing & Exporting Documents in iOS
Very good bookmark in case you ever need to build any sort of reading app.
