A lightweight class for monitoring a directory for changes on iOS.

MHDirectoryWatcher

MHDirectoryWatcher is a lightweight class that uses GCD to monitor a given path for changes. When any change to the directory occurs, MHDirectoryWatcher starts polling the monitored path, making sure that file transfers are finished before posting notifications.

Installing

Copy MHDirectoryWatcher.h+m into your project.

Usage

Get an instance of MHDirectoryWatcher using factory method +directoryWatcherAtPath. Call -startWatching to begin watching the desired directory.

Add an observer for the notification name MHDirectoryDidFinishChangesNotification to be notified when changes have been made to the directory. Optionally add an observer for the notification name MHDirectoryDidStartChangesNotification to be notified when changes are about to happen.

Call -stopWatching / -startWatching to pause/resume.
