Testing Async downloads with ASIHTTPRequest
- by Baishampayan Ghose
I am writing a simple library using ASIHTTPRequest where I am fetching
URLs in an async manner. My problem is that the main function that I
have written to test my lib exits before the async calls are finished.
I am very new to Obj C and iPhone development, can anyone suggest a
good way to wait before all the requests are finished in the main
function?
Currently, my main function looks like this -
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
IBGApp *ibgapp = [[IBGApp alloc] init];
IBGLib *ibgl = [[IBGLib alloc] initWithUsername:@"joe" andPassword:@"xxx"];
// The two method calls below download URLs async.
[ibgl downloadURL:@"http://yahoo.com/" withRequestDelegate:ibgapp andRequestSelector:@selector(logData:)];
[ibgl downloadURL:@"http://google.com/" withRequestDelegate:ibgapp andRequestSelector:@selector(logData:)];
[pool release];
return 0; // I reach here before the async calls are done.
}
So what is the best way to wait till the async calls are done? I tried putting sleep, but obviously doesn't work.
