How do I repeat a Reachability test until it works

Question

I have an initial tableviewcontroller which is executing a reachability check. This is working without a problem within the viewDidLoad, however

How should you use Reachability?

• Always try your connection first.
• If the request fails, Reachability will tell you why.
• If the network comes up, Reachability will notify you. Retry the connection then.

In order to receive notifications, register for the notification, and start the reachability class from Apple:

@implementation AppDelegate {
    Reachability *_reachability;
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     addObserver: self
     selector: @selector(reachabilityChanged:)
     name: kReachabilityChangedNotification
     object: nil];

    _reachability = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName: @"www.apple.com"];
    [_reachability startNotifier];

    // ...
}

@end

To answer the notification:

- (void) reachabilityChanged: (NSNotification *)notification {
    Reachability *reach = [notification object];
    if( [reach isKindOfClass: [Reachability class]]) {
    }
    NetworkStatus status = [reach currentReachabilityStatus]; 
    NSLog(@"change to %d", status); // 0=no network, 1=wifi, 2=wan
}

If you rather use blocks instead, use KSReachability.
