iOS Question Launch Files app with search criteria pre-entered

[SFE]

I write a pdf file into my apps file folder. I would like to then be able to launch the Files app, with my apps folder opened.

In addition I would like to enter the search criteria so that the files are prefiltered.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to do this.

How are you opening the Files app? Why are you opening it if you need to access your files?

I see your point. The app I am writing is an enterprise app that I am still waiting to hear if they will implement it.

Since I formatted the data into a nice pdf report I wanted to just have them view the past reports. If the app moves forward I should store past data in a database and recreate the reports as required. In other words you caught me trying to be lazy.

Here is what I took from your questions
1) if it is your data why are you letting another app display it
2) Keeping everything in your app improves the workflow and gives you better control

Thanks for the education

This is not a bad idea to let the user export the documents. It can be done easily with ActivityViewController: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...rces-or-share-to-external-apps.99368/#content
