Publishing a File for a Specific Period

To publish a file for a specific period, use the publishBodyExpiresIn() method as shown in the following sample code. This code publishes a file for one hour from now. Specify a period in seconds.

  • // Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Set the lifetime of the URL in seconds.
int time = 60 * 60;

try {
  // Publish the KiiObject.
  String publishUrl = object.publishBodyExpiresIn(time);
} catch (IOException e) {
  // Handle the error.
} catch (AppException e) {
  // Handle the error.
}
  • // Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Set the lifetime of the URL in seconds.
int time = 60 * 60;

// Publish the KiiObject.
object.publishBodyExpiresIn(time, new KiiObjectPublishCallback() {
  @Override
  public void onPublishCompleted(String url, KiiObject object, Exception exception) {
    if (exception != null) {
      // Handle the error.
      return;
    }
  }
});

The basic steps are as follows:

  1. Upload the file as an object body.
  2. Publish the file with the publishBodyExpiresIn() method.

Note that a user needs to be permitted the READ_EXISTING_OBJECT action on a KiiObject to publish its object body (Once published, anyone can access the object body with the URL). See Setting a KiiObject's ACL for more information about the access rights.
