iOS - Use responseObject outside of AFNetworking - ios

Question

I want to display the responseObject received from the below AFNetworking call in my tableview cell. I created an NSMutableArray property in my header file (neighbourData) thinking allocating responseObject to it might work. Though as predicted, I can't seem to use the data outside of the AFNetworking method. On the other hand, placing the AFNetworking method inside of my tableview cell works, but there is a lag time in waiting for the data to display in my UIlabels. Any ideas?
ViewController.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *neighbourData;
ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSMutableDictionary *viewParams = [NSMutableDictionary new];
[viewParams setValue:#"u000" forKey:#"view_name"];
[DIOSView viewGet:viewParams success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
self.neighbourData = [responseObject mutableCopy];
NSLog(#"This is the neighbourdata %#",self.neighbourData);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failure: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *NetworkTableIdentifier = #"sidebarCell";
self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
sidebarCell *cell = (sidebarCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:NetworkTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"sidebarCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
NSDictionary *userName = [self.neighbourData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[[cell username] setText:[userName objectForKey:#"users_name"]];
NSDictionary *userBio = [self.neighbourData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[[cell userDescription] setText:[userBio objectForKey:#"userbio"]];
return cell;
}

You can initialise neighbourData with the responce object or just pass its refrence to your arry and then reload the table. it will work
self.neighbourData = [NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArry: responseObject]];
[yourTableView reloadData];
OR
self.neighbourData = (NSMutableArray *)responseObject;
[yourTableView reloadData];
