Unable to update UITableView

Question

I have UITableViewController as the RootViewController. I need to add rows to the table depending on data I get from another thread which I initiate from the RootViewController\

Answer 1

hey are you sure you are updating the table view display / reloading tableview on the main thread? i faced the same problem, the data was in there but until user scrolls, tableview was not updated

upon googling i came to know you need to call the reloadData method on the main ui thread

code example below:

- (void) getDataOnNewThread
{
    // code here to populate your data source
    // call refreshTableViewOnMainThread like below:
    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(refreshTableView) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
}

- (void) refreshTableView
{
    [tableView reloadData];
}
