I'm using PSTCollectionView class to load the photos from iPhone camera roll. I want the photos to appear while they're loaded though, not wait until everything is read. My code looks like this:
-(void) loadAssetGroups {
void (^assetGroupEnumerator)
(ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop) {
NSLog(@"group....%@",[group valueForProperty:ALAssetsGroupPropertyName]);
[self loadAssetForGroup:group];
}
};
void (^assetGroupEnumberatorFailure)(NSError *) = ^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"A problem occured. Error: %@", error.localizedDescription);
};
[[ImagePickerViewController defaultAssetsLibrary] enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAll
usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator
failureBlock:assetGroupEnumberatorFailure];
}
-(void) loadAssetForGroup:(ALAssetsGroup*)group {
ALAssetsFilter *filter = [ALAssetsFilter allPhotos];
[group setAssetsFilter:filter];
__block NSMutableArray *indexes = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:0];
[group enumerateAssetsWithOptions:NSEnumerationReverse usingBlock:^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if (result == nil)
{
return;
}
if (![self.allPhotos containsObject:result]) {
[self.assets setValue:result forKey:[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyURLs]];
[self.allPhotos addObject:result];
[indexes addObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:[self.allPhotos count]-1 inSection:0]];
[self.collectionView performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(insertItemsAtIndexPaths:) withObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:self.allPhotos.count-1 inSection:0]] waitUntilDone:NO];
}
}];
}
From the console I see that collectionView is calling its dataSource method cellForItemAtIndexPath
for the first few objects (that would be visible on the screen) but I need to wait for all photos to be read until I see the collectionView refreshed.
Is there a way to have it running more "on the go"?
