UITableView异步加载

Question

是下面的代码，我正在使用printerArray = [SMPort searchPrinter];加载数据。这是一个昂贵的操作，并锁定ui。是否有一种异步方式这样我就可以显示一个加载指示符，并且当它完成时显示数据？

    uitableview_printerList.dataSource = self;

    return printerArray.count + 1;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    if (indexPath.row < printerArray.count)
    {
        PortInfo *port = [printerArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        cell.textLabel.text = port.modelName;
        NSString *detailText = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@(%@)", port.portName, port.macAddress];
        cell.detailTextLabel.text = detailText;
    }
    else if (indexPath.row == printerArray.count)
    {
        cell.textLabel.text = @"Back";
    }

    return cell;
}

        [PrinterFunctions PrintPHPPOSDocumentWithPortName:portInfo.portName textToPrint:self.textToPrint portSettings:@""];
    }

    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

}

// This sends the fetching operation on the background
// You can put a loading indicator HERE BEFORE the dispatch.
// This sends the fetching operation on the background
[SVProgressHUD showWithStatus:@"Finding Printers" maskType:SVProgressHUDMaskTypeBlack];
 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
    printerArray = [SMPort searchPrinter];

    // Here you send tell the main thread to reload the table
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [SVProgressHUD dismiss];
        [uitableview_printerList reloadData];
    });
});

当然还有很多其他的解决方案，但在我看来，对于你的情况来说，这是最起码的一种解决方案。

编辑:我忘记了一件事:为了使printerArray在块中可写，在声明时必须在前面添加关键字__block。

编辑:我把最后的工作代码。我不需要添加__block来做一些准备。

您可以使用第二个NSOperationQueue或GCD (大中央调度)。上文对全球荒漠化办法作了说明。下面是NSOperation队列方法：

NSOperationQueue *printQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[printQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{

  // Background work
  NSArray * array = [SMPort searchPrinter];

  // Update the UI (in the main queue)
  [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
     printerArray = [array copy];
     [uitableview_printerList reloadData];
  }];
}];
