AMPPreviewController is a subclass of QLPreviewController that allows you to preview remote documents.

This class is designed to work with only one document at a time.

Also you can use a NSURL directly! Without the need of creating a QLPreviewItem conforming object. So the developer doesn't need to deal with dataSource methods, just instantiate and present ;)

Just open a remote url:

NSURL *remoteURL = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc]
                            initWithRemoteFile:remoteURL];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];

You can also execute a block when the download starts or ends:

[pc setStartDownloadBlock:^(){
    ...
}];
[pc setFinishDownloadBlock:^(NSError *error){
    ...
}];

You can also load a local file. This is the same as using the QLPreviewController but more simple if you just want to present a single file.

NSURL *localPath = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc] initWithFilePath:localPath];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];

MyItem *item = ...
AMPPreviewController *pc = [[AMPPreviewController alloc] initWithPreviewItem:item];
[self presentViewController:pc animated:YES completion:nil];

The item must conform to the QLPreviewItem protocol.

Additionally it can also conform to AMPPreviewItem wich adds the required remoteUrl method. It will be the same as using the initWithRemoteFile: method but with your own object.

AMPPreviewController is available through CocoaPods, to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "AMPPreviewController"
