I'm using the RestKit library to load json from my REST services, and then mapping the data to an object.

If I apply that retrieved object as the datasource, the tableview datasource methods run before the json is downloaded, which leaves [list count] at 0.

Now, how do I prevent the table from loading or refresh the table when the json is retrieved?

1.) Read your JSON into an array and use that as the data source for your table 2.) If your JSON updates, have some function

-(void)tableDataDidUpdate

that takes in your JSON, throws out the old table data array and replaces it with a new array.

3.) Make sure to call "reloadData" 

    [self.tableView reloadData];

  • yep, I placed [self.tableView reloadData]; in the RestKit delegate for when the data is fully retrieved. However, it's not very attractive when you see the default empty cells suddenly change into large cells with content. I may need to look into a loading screen function! – Adam Aug 31 '11 at 18:17
