Working with Report Resources

Operating system requirements: iOS 5.0 or later.

Mobile device: iPad.

Description

This example implements working with report resources. After starting the example the following operations are executed:

The development environment console displays information about report resources and number of resources settings.
A resources container is created that is filled with new resources, which identifiers are displayed in the console.
A new report and its copy are created, value of report settings number is displayed in the console, after which report objects are deleted.

Source Code

Executing the example requires to place the following code in the body of the executeExample method of the ViewController class (see the Displaying of Express Report section):

// Get express report
SPPLOlapReport olapReport = m_olapReport;
// Get report resource container
SPPLReportResources resources = olapReport->resources();
// Get report resources
SPPLReportResource res1 = resources->items()[0]->qClass<PPLReportResource>();
// Display information about report resources
printf("%s %s\n", "Resource extension:", res1->ext()->UTF8String());
printf("%s %s\n", "Path to resources:", res1->path()->UTF8String());
if (res1->fullPath() != NULL) {
    printf("%s %s\n", "Full path to resources:", res1->fullPath()->UTF8String());
} else {
    printf("Full path to resources is not defined\n");
}
printf("%s %s\n", "Resource identifier:", res1->id()->UTF8String());
printf("%s %s\n", "MIME type of resources:", res1->mimeType()->UTF8String());
// Display number of resources settings
printf("%s %d\n", "Number of report resources settings:", res1->generatePlist()->qClass<NMutableDictionary>()->count());
// Create new report resources
SNString newId = NString::stringWithNSString(@"NewResource1");
SPPLReportResource newRes1 = PPLReportResource::resource(newId, res1->path(), res1->ext(), res1->mimeType(), olapReport);
// Create new report resources based on settings dictionary
SNMutableDictionary pList = res1->generatePlist()->qClass<NMutableDictionary>();
SPPLReportResource newRes2 = PPLReportResource::resource(pList, olapReport);
// Create and fill in array of resources
SNMutableArray arr = new NMutableArray();
arr->addObject(newRes1);
arr->addObject(newRes2);
// Create a new container of report resources
SPPLReportResources newResources = new PPLReportResources(arr);
// Display identifiers of created report resources
for (int i = 0; i < newResources->items()->count(); i++) {
    printf("%s %s\n", "Identifier of added resources:", newResources->items()->objectAtIndex<PPLReportResource>(i)->id()->UTF8String());
}
// Create a new report by means of repository object description, based on which a source report is created, and its copy
SPPLReport newReport1 = PPLReport::report(olapReport->descriptor());
if (newReport1 != NULL) {
    SPPLReport newReport2 = newReport1->copy()->qClass<PPLReport>();
    // Get dictionary of created report settings
    SNMutableDictionary newReportPList = newReport2->generatePlist()->qClass<NMutableDictionary>();
    // Display number of report settings
    printf("%s %d\n", "Number of report settings:", newReportPList->count());
    // Delete report objects
    newReport1->~PPLReport();
    newReport2->~PPLReport();
}

After executing the example the development environment console displays values of report settings:

Resource extension: svg

Resource identifier: 24gsty4k

MIME type of resources: image/svg+xml

Number of report resource settings: 4

Identifier of added resources: NewResource1

Identifier of added resources: 24gsty4k

Number of report settings: 2
