How can i change UITextview content

Question

I'm fetching datas from my api and trying to write datas to UITextview but when I try this I'm getting error.

These codes are feching datas from api and write them in uitextview:

NSOperationQueue *apiCallsQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];

NSString *urlstring=@"x.com/api.php?id=";
urlstring =[urlstring stringByAppendingString:self.newsId];

NSURL *newsdetail = [NSURL URLWithString:urlstring];
newsdetailrequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:newsdetail];

@try
{
    [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:newsdetailrequest queue:apiCallsQueue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
    {
        NSDictionary *dictionary =  [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:nil error:nil];
        [textview setText:[dictionary objectForKey:@"title"]];
    }];
}
@catch (NSException *exception)
{
    UIAlertView *errorView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error"
                                                        message:@"Error"
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Tamam"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorView show];
}

error output :

here is my Controller.h

@interface NewsDetailViewController : UIViewController
{
NSURLRequest *newsdetailrequest;
NSMutableData *newsdetailData;
}
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UINavigationBar *newsdetailTitle;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSString *navBarTitle;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSString *newsId;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *htmlDetail;

Answer 1

It looks like you're trying to access UIKit from a background thread, which isn't recommended.

Try this: [textview performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setText:) withObject:[dictionary objectForKey:@"title"] waitUntilDone:YES];

This ensures that setText: is called on the main thread.

Answer 2

Actually the error says, what happens. UI code must run on main thread. The following will fix the error. Put that in the completionHandler block.

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                                  //do ui operations like setting textview text
                              });

Answer 3

Try this.

Dispatch into the main thread for UI updates.

NSOperationQueue *apiCallsQueue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];

NSString *urlstring=@"x.com/api.php?id=";
urlstring =[urlstring stringByAppendingString:self.newsId];

NSURL *newsdetail = [NSURL URLWithString:urlstring];
newsdetailrequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:newsdetail];

@try
{
    [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:newsdetailrequest queue:apiCallsQueue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
    {
        NSDictionary *dictionary =  [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:nil error:nil];

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),
        ^{
            [textview setText:[dictionary objectForKey:@"title"]];
        });
    }];
}
@catch (NSException *exception)
{
    UIAlertView *errorView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error"
                                                        message:@"Error"
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Tamam"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorView show];
}
