在 react-native 的主线程上运行 swift 代码

Question

I am trying to make a react-native app cast to chromecast. The chromecast GCKDeviceScanner has to run on the main thread.

The react native page says to run on main thread you have to do this:

 - (dispatch_queue_t)methodQueue { return dispatch_get_main_queue(); }

I am not very familiar with swift or ios, so where do I put this code, and how do I use it? I have my method:

 let filterCriteria = GCKFilterCriteria(forAvailableApplicationWithID: "myApp") let deviceScanner = GCKDeviceScanner(filterCriteria: filterCriteria) if let deviceScanner = deviceScanner { deviceScanner.addListener(self) deviceScanner.startScan() deviceScanner.passiveScan = true }

Any idea on how I can run my code on the main thread?

Answer 1

To run that code section in the main thread, you can do this:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
  let filterCriteria = GCKFilterCriteria(forAvailableApplicationWithID: "myApp")
  
  let deviceScanner = GCKDeviceScanner(filterCriteria: filterCriteria)
  if let deviceScanner = deviceScanner {
    deviceScanner.addListener(self)
    deviceScanner.startScan()
    deviceScanner.passiveScan = true
  }
}

Another option is RunLoop.main.perform { .. } .

Old version, before Swift 4 (maybe even 3?):

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
  let filterCriteria = GCKFilterCriteria(forAvailableApplicationWithID: "myApp")
  
  let deviceScanner = GCKDeviceScanner(filterCriteria: filterCriteria)
  if let deviceScanner = deviceScanner {
    deviceScanner.addListener(self)
    deviceScanner.startScan()
    deviceScanner.passiveScan = true
  }
}
