Loading data into UITableview using GCD - uitableview

The code below loads data into a UITableView by getting a google news RSS feed parsing the XML and putting it into the view . It works but when i push another view and come back the table view scroll is broken . I have isolated the problem to the GCD code . If i remove it the problem disappears . So here is the GCD code :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(#"View did load ..");
self.title = #"News stories";
NewsItem *item = [[NewsItem alloc] init];
item.title = #"Loading ...";
self.newsItems = [#[item] mutableCopy];
NSString *URL = #"http://news.google.com/news?q=apple+OR+google+OR+microsoft&output=rss";
NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URL];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:xmlURL];
Parser *parser = [[Parser alloc] initXMLParser];;
dispatch_queue_t downloadQueue = dispatch_queue_create("news downloader", NULL);
dispatch_async(downloadQueue, ^{
BOOL success;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
if (data != nil) {
NSXMLParser *nsXmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:data];
// create and init our delegate
// set delegate
[nsXmlParser setDelegate:parser];
// parsing...
success = [nsXmlParser parse];
}
else {
success = FALSE;
}
// test the result
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if (success) {
NSLog(#"reloading data ...");
self.newsItems = [parser.newsItems copy];
[self.tableView reloadData];
} else {
NewsItem *item = [[NewsItem alloc] init];
item.title = #"Error loading";
self.newsItems = [#[item] mutableCopy];
[self.tableView reloadData];
NSLog(#"Error parsing document!");
}
});
});
}

Try [self.tableView reloadData]; in viewDidAppear.

Getting delay to see next view controller ,see detail in post?

I have one login screen after that it will move to next view controller which have i have used some networks like http,json to get data from server. when i enter login username/password then if i click login button its getting delay to 8 seconds after that only it moving to next view controller.Still that my login screen alone showing for 8 seconds and then only it move to next view controller.
Here my login controller.m:
#implementation mainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_username.delegate = self;
_password.delegate = self;
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
if (![defaults boolForKey:#"reg"]) {
NSLog(#"no user reg");
_logBtn.hidden = NO;
}
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:animated];
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
_username.text = nil;
_password.text = nil;
}
- (IBAction)LoginUser:(id)sender {
if ([_username.text isEqualToString:#"sat"] && [_password.text isEqualToString:#"123"]) {
NSLog(#"Login success");
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"nextscreen" sender:self];
}
else {
NSLog(#"login was unsucess");
// Alert message
UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"wrong"
message:#"Message"
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIAlertAction *actionOk = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:#"Ok"
style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:nil];
[alertController addAction:actionOk];
[self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Here my nextcontroller.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//for search label data
self.dataSourceForSearchResult = [NSArray new];
//collection of array to store value
titleArray = [NSMutableArray array];
// here only i am getting data from server
[self getdata];
self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
self.collectionView.delegate = self;
[self.collectionView reloadData];
}
Help me out. If my question din't understand.I can tell more about my post. And in my nextcontroller.m [self getdata] is i am getting data from server url.Thanks
My get data:
-(void)getdata {

NSLog(#"Did not managed to save NSData.");
}
}
else {
NSLog(#"%#",errorDesc);
}
NSDictionary *stringsDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
}
EDITED:
`- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue( DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^(void){
self.dataSourceForSearchResult = [NSArray new];
titleArray = [NSMutableArray array];
//Background Tasks
[self getdata];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
//Run UI Updates
self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
self.collectionView.delegate = self;
[self.collectionView reloadData];
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
});
});
}`
You're getting your data using main thread you need do to that in background then invoke the code you need (as i see is reload collectionView)
I assume that because you didn't show the getdata method code
If that the case you can use this code:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue( DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^(void){
//Background Tasks
[self getdata];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
//Run UI Updates
[self.collectionView reloadData];
});
});
It's mean that your VC will show immediately but the collectionView fill after you finish load the data, you can put some old data while loading like Facebook app (you see latest retrieved posts until finish loading].
Edit:
In your code you replace viewdidload method in nextController with next code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//for search label data
self.dataSourceForSearchResult = [NSArray new];
//collection of array to store value
titleArray = [NSMutableArray array];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^(void){
//Background Tasks
[self getdata];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
//Run UI Updates
[self.collectionView reloadData];
});
});
self.collectionView.dataSource = self;
self.collectionView.delegate = self;
}

IOS - Recursive Functions leaves Memory Allocations

I have a Test App, what i have in this App is a call made via a PHP script, once the data comes back the Recursive call is made again and again PHP Script is called and so on:
Whats happening is that every time [Self recusiveForumActivity]; is called i get 300kb of memory allocated and the memory usage keeps climbing when this recursive method is called. If i remove the method the memory usage stays stable. How can i overcome this so that i don't loose memory allocation at all, when the recursive method is called every time?

Try using [object performSelector:method] instead of recursive call. A recursive function must always have a base/exit condition and your code doesn't have any such condition. So you must not make any recursive call here.

Update the UI of the View Controller and then dismiss it

I have a view controller, that loads some an array. While everything is loading, I need to present another view controller (with the UIProgressView) and update it's UI (the progress property of a UIProgressView) and then dismiss and present first vc with downloaded data. I'm really struggling on it and I've tried delegation, but nothing worked for me.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
if ([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:#"downloaded"]) {
} else {
NSLog(#"First time Launched");
ProgressIndicatorViewController *progressVC = [ProgressIndicatorViewController new];
progressVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self syncContacts];
[self presentViewController:progressVC animated:YES completion:nil];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:#"downloaded"];
[progressVC release];
}
}
sync contacts method:
- (void)syncContacts
{
NSLog(#"Sync data");
NSMutableArray *allContacts = [ContactsOperations getAllContactsFromAddressBook];
NSInteger allContactsCount = [allContacts count];
if (allContactsCount > 0) {
for (ContactData *contact in allContacts) {
NSMutableArray *phoneNumbersArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *nospacestring = nil;
for (UserTelephone *tel in [contact.abonNumbers retain]) {
NSArray *words = [tel.phoneNumber componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet :[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
NSString *nospacestring = [words componentsJoinedByString:#""];
[phoneNumbersArray addObject:nospacestring];
}
contact.abonNumbers = phoneNumbersArray;
if (phoneNumbersArray != nil) {
NSLog(#"NOT NULL PHONENUMBERS: %#", phoneNumbersArray);
}
NSDictionary *dataDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:contact.abonNumbers, #"phoneNumbers", contact.contactName, #"fullName", [NSNumber numberWithBool:contact.isBlackList], #"blacklist", [NSNumber numberWithBool:contact.isIgnore], #"ignore", contact.status, #"status", nil];
NSLog(#"dictionary: %#", dataDictionary);
NSError *error;
NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dataDictionary options:0 error:&error];
NSLog(#"POST DATA IS : %#", postData);
NSMutableURLRequest *newRequest = [self generateRequest:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#c/contacts%#%#", AVATATOR_ADDR, SESSION_PART, [[ServiceWorker sharedInstance] SessionID]] stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding] withHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[newRequest setHTTPBody:postData];
[newRequest setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
//__block NSMutableData *newData;
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:newRequest queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *connectionError)
{
if (!connectionError) {
NSDictionary *allData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSLog(#"alldata from contacts: %#", allData);
//NSInteger errorCode = [[allData objectForKey:#"CommandRes"] integerValue];
//if (errorCode == 0) {
NSInteger remoteId = [[allData objectForKey:#"contactId"] integerValue];
contact.remoteId = remoteId;
NSLog(#"remote id is from parse content : %d", remoteId);
[[AvatatorDBManager getSharedDBManager]createContactWithContactData:contact];
} else {
NSLog(#"error");
}
}];
//Somewhere here I need to update the UI in another VC
[phoneNumbersArray release];
[dataDictionary release];
}
} else {
}
}
generate request method:
- (NSMutableURLRequest *)generateRequest:(NSString *)urlString withHTTPMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
{
NSLog(#"url is :%#", urlString);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
[request setHTTPMethod:httpMethod];
return request;
}
ProgressViewController is just an empty VC with the progress bar. No code yet.
In the view controller that will display the progress view expose a method like this...
- (void)updateProgress:(float)progress;
Its implementation will look like this...
- (void)updateProgress:(float)progress {
[self.progressView setProgress:progress animated:YES];
}
On the main view controller you need to execute the long-running process on a background thread. Here's viewDidLoad for the main view controller. This example code uses a property for the progress view controller (you may not require this) and assumes your are in a navigation controller...
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Create and push the progress view controller...
self.pvc = [[ProgressViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.pvc animated:YES];
// Your long-running process executes on a background thread...
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
// Your long-running process goes here. Wherever required you would
// call updateProgress but that needs to happen on the main queue...
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.pvc updateProgress:progress];
});
// At the end pop the progress view controller...
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
});
});
}

UI hanging on background rss parsing

I'm trying to create a simple rss reader. The code works okay, except the UI hangs when the feeds are being updated. I thought I cobbled together the code to get the feed and parse it on a background queue while updating the UI on the mainQueue, but the table hangs pretty badly. Code below:
-(void)refreshFeed2
{
NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
for (NSString *feed in _feeds) {
// iterate over all feeds
NSLog(#"feed=%#", feed);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:feed];
// Create url connection and fire request
NSURLConnection *conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] init];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
(void)[conn initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:queue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response;
if ([data length] == 0 && error == nil) {
// handle empty response
} else if (error != nil) {
// handle error
NSLog(#"Error %#", [error localizedDescription]);
} else if ([httpResponse statusCode] == 200) {
// data present and no errors
[queue addOperationWithBlock:^{
// parse feed on queue
RXMLElement *rss = [RXMLElement elementFromXMLData:data];
RXMLElement *rssChild = [rss child:#"channel"];
RXMLElement* title = [rssChild child:#"title"];
NSArray* items = [[rss child:#"channel"] children:#"item"];
NSMutableArray* result=[NSMutableArray array];
for (RXMLElement *e in items) {
// iterate over the articles
RSSArticle* article = [[RSSArticle alloc] init];
article.sourceTitle = [title text];
article.articleTitle = [[e child:#"title"] text];
article.articleDescription = [[e child:#"description"] text];
article.articleUrl = [NSURL URLWithString: [[e child:#"link"] text]];
NSString *articleDateString = [[e child:#"pubDate"] text];
article.articleDate = [NSDate dateFromInternetDateTimeString:articleDateString formatHint:DateFormatHintRFC822];
if (article.articleUrl != NULL) {
[result addObject:article];
}
}
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
// update table on mainQueue
for (RSSArticle *article in result) {
// iterate over articles
int insertIdx = [_allEntries indexForInsertingObject:article sortedUsingBlock:^(id a, id b) {
RSSArticle *entry1 = (RSSArticle *) a;
RSSArticle *entry2 = (RSSArticle *) b;
return [entry1.articleDate compare:entry2.articleDate];
}];
[_allEntries insertObject:article atIndex:insertIdx];
[self.LeftTableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:insertIdx inSection:0]]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
}
}];
}];
}
}];
// Stop refresh control
[refreshControl endRefreshing];
}
}
Code that calls refreshFeed2:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.allEntries = [NSMutableArray array];
self.feeds = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/politics",
#"http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_allpolitics.rss",
#"http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1012",
#"http://www.slatedigital.com/support/feeds/rss_kb.php?s=fd5aa35e773dc3177b85a2126583f002",
nil];
}
//add refresh control to the table view
refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc] init];
[refreshControl addTarget:self
action:#selector(refreshInvoked:forState:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
NSString* fetchMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Fetching Articles"];
refreshControl.attributedTitle = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:fetchMessage
attributes:#{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:11.0]}];
[self.LeftTableView addSubview: refreshControl];
[self refreshInvoked:self forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
-(void) refreshInvoked:(id)sender forState:(UIControlState)state {
NSOperationQueue *refreshQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[refreshQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{
[self refreshFeed2];
}];
}
Any help?
Thanks!
Can you try this? replace
[self refreshInvoked:self forState:UIControlStateNormal];
by
[self performSelectorOnBackground:#selector(refreshFeed2) withObject:nil];
and replace the same instead of
-(void) refreshInvoked:(id)sender forState:(UIControlState)state {
[self performSelectorOnBackground:#selector(refreshFeed2) withObject:nil ];
}

Nothing happens after calling [table reloadData] when called with dispatch_async

- (void) setRooms:(NSArray *)newRooms
{
NSLog(#"Main thread(cp3)... %d", [rooms count]);
rooms = newRooms;
[table reloadData];
NSLog(#"Main thread(cp4)... %d", [rooms count]);
}
- (void) parseJSONWithURL:(NSURL *)jsonURL
{
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
NSLog(#"Main thread(cp1)...%d", [rooms count]);
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
dispatch_async(queue, ^{
NSLog(#"Background thread(cp1)...%d", [rooms count]);
NSError *error = nil;
// Request the data and store in a string.
NSString *resp = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:jsonURL
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
error:&error];
// Convert the String into an NSData object.
NSData *data = [resp dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// Parse that data object using NSJSONSerialization without options.
NSDictionary *json = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];
// Return to the main thread to update the UI elements
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
NSLog(#"Main thread(cp2)...%d", [rooms count]);
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
[self setRooms:[json valueForKey:#"Rooms"]];
});
NSLog(#"Background thread(cp2)...%d", [rooms count]);
});
NSLog(#"Main thread(cp5)...%d", [rooms count]);
}
Try this
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
dispatch_async(queue, ^{
NSError *error = nil;
// Request the data and store in a string.
NSString *resp = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:jsonURL
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
error:&error];
if (error == nil) {
// Convert the String into an NSData object.
NSData *data = [resp dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// Parse that data object using NSJSONSerialization without options.
NSDictionary *json = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
_rooms = [json valueForKey:#"Rooms"];
[_table reloadData];
});
}
});
or try
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(udpateAfterFetch:) withObject: [json valueForKey:#"Rooms"] waitUntilDone:YES];
-(void)udpateAfterFetch:(NSArray or whatever *) yourObject
{
_rooms = yourObject;
[_table reloadData];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
}
The table is not being reloaded because any UI update should happen in the main thread and it is not happening so in ur lines of code.
