How do I popViewControllerAnimated after a delay?

Question

I have a UITableViewController that is presented with a list of choices. After the user taps one, I'd like to return to the previous view. The return seems too quick with the code I'm using though. I'd like to pause for 0.2 seconds or so to give the user time to see their selection become checked. Here's the code I'm using now:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    NSUInteger oldSelection = [[selectedCriteria objectAtIndex:criteriaSection] integerValue];

    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    // Since there's a "none" selection, we don't deselect if the user taps the one that's already selected
    if ([indexPath row] != oldSelection + 1) {
        NSIndexPath *selectionIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:oldSelection+1 // Shift down for "None"
                                                inSection:[indexPath section]];
        UITableViewCell *checkedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:selectionIndexPath];
        [checkedCell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];

        [[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
        [selectedCriteria replaceObjectAtIndex:criteriaSection
                                    withObject:[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:[indexPath row]-1]];     
    }

    [[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Is there a good way to add a short delay before the view controller is popped?

Answer 1

Have you tried -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay ?

Answer 2

Try sleep(x);

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSUInteger oldSelection = [[selectedCriteria objectAtIndex:criteriaSection] integerValue];

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
// Since there's a "none" selection, we don't deselect if the user taps the one that's already selected
if ([indexPath row] != oldSelection + 1) {
    NSIndexPath *selectionIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:oldSelection+1 // Shift down for "None"
                                            inSection:[indexPath section]];
    UITableViewCell *checkedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:selectionIndexPath];
    [checkedCell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];

    [[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
    [selectedCriteria replaceObjectAtIndex:criteriaSection
                                withObject:[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:[indexPath row]-1]];     
    }

sleep(1);
[[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

that might get you what you want...

sleep(0.2) worked for me

Answer 4

Hope this help.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

NSUInteger oldSelection = [[selectedCriteria objectAtIndex:criteriaSection] integerValue];

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
// Since there's a "none" selection, we don't deselect if the user taps the one that's already selected
if ([indexPath row] != oldSelection + 1) {
    NSIndexPath *selectionIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:oldSelection+1 // Shift down for "None"
                                            inSection:[indexPath section]];
    UITableViewCell *checkedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:selectionIndexPath];
    [checkedCell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];

    [[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
    [selectedCriteria replaceObjectAtIndex:criteriaSection
                                withObject:[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:[indexPath row]-1]];     
}

[self performSelector:@selector(dismissController) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];

}

This give you a 0.2 seconds delay to call the function "dismissController".

The function "dismissController".

- (void) dismissController {
  [[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
