calling viewDidLoad after some delay

Question

Hi

The scenario is as follows:

My application has a tabBarController on tapping a tab there occurs some parsing of XML from server which takes some time.The data recovered from parsing is gonna be there on the view of the selected viewController(i.e; the data is used in the viewDidLoad method).Now how can I ensure that the viewDidLoad method is called only when the parsing has been completed. Parsing is done in some delegate methods of the NSURLConnection class which gets called after some time the connection has established.In the meantime the viewDidLoad method gets called.

Answer 1

why don't you move your code from viewDidLoad into a custom function and then call that when your XML has been parsed?

for instance I have some applications where blog feeds/rss/xml are loaded into a UITableViewController and on connectionDidFinish: I just call [tableView reloadData]; rather than trying to run viewDidLoad again.
