[tableView reloadData]; doesn't work until I scroll the tableView

Question

I have a simple app that downloads search results in XML when the user types in a UISearchBar. The download+parsing is threaded and once done it fires an NSNo

Answer 1

I was able to get the same thing to work. But the issue was that the reload data needed to be called on main thread.

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [self.tableView reloadData];
});

I think this is more practical than the performSelectorOnMainThread option
