Controlling iPhone App Flow During Table View Animations

Question

In my application I would like to be able to wait until table view animations (deleting table view rows) were complete before executing part of my application. I was wondering if there would be any way to wait or pause my application until the these animations were complete.

Thanks.

After the deletion is completed, your tableview should send the tableView:didEndEditingRowAtIndexPath: message to its delegate. If your delegate responds to that message, you can put your app code (or a call to the class that executes it) in that method.

Apple has more info on tableview inserts and deletes here:
