sorry for my bad english :)
I have a problem to parse JSON response over Alamofire in Swift for an iOS app. I wrote a function to return a string of JSON response. The request and response handling I do with Alamofire and the JSON handling I do with SwiftyJSON . At the begin I declare a var called jsonString with the value test . Then I do a request to an REST Service and get a JSON response by clicking a button. This response I want to return with the function ping(url:String) . At the end I print the returned response as a test. But on the first click on the button the return value from ping is test and not the JSON string of the response. On the second click on the button I get the right return value. Why I have this problem. Is the Alamofire request an asynchronous operation? I want to wait for the response. How can I solve the problem to get the right value on first click and not test as value?
Here is my code:
var jsonString:String = "test"
func ping(url:String) -> String {
Alamofire.request(.GET, url)
.response {
(request, response, data, error) -> Void in
let json = JSONValue(data as? NSData)
self.jsonString = json.rawJSONString
}
return self.jsonString
}
@IBAction func checkOnlineStatus(sender: UIButton) {
let response:String = ping("http://test.com")
println(response)}
In the first click, the code
return self.jsonString
will run before
.response {
(request, response, data, error) -> Void in
let json = JSONValue(data as? NSData)
self.jsonString = json.rawJSONString
}
you will get nil form the self.jsonString in the first time, you second click will get the first click's request data.
If you use SwiftyJSON and Alamofire you can try Alamofire-SwiftyJSON
You could also try running
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
// insert code you need done the first time around - it will wait
}
The problem you are having is that you are trying to return the result of an asynchronous method synchronously.
You have two solutions:
I've written a response to this very same question a few minutes ago on this thread, I'll suggest you check it out: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33130512/422288
