Reachability iOS

I have a TableView that recieves data from a server with a method call retrieveData. I use the Reachability to test if the user has internet connection. If YES the retrieveData is called. If NOT i get a NSLog printed.

All works fine, BUT.. Even if it has connection, the table takes a few second to load and that's not what I want. How can I be immediately?

I check the connection in the viewDidLoad method.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    Reachability* reach = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostname:@"www.google.com"];

    reach.reachableBlock = ^(Reachability*reach)
    {
        // Load the Table Content
        [self retrieveData];
    };

    reach.unreachableBlock = ^(Reachability*reach)
    {
        NSLog(@"no internet");
    };

    [reach startNotifier];

}

Solution

Even though Google site "most likely" won't go down, In theory it is a bad idea to rely on the reachability of hostname to determine connectivity.

Once you have downloaded and imported Reachbility.m and Reachbility.h files

create a helper function:

-(BOOL)IsConnected{
  Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection];
  NetworkStatus networkStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus];

  return !(networkStatus == NotReachable);    
}

Then use it

if([self IsConnected]){
 [self retrieveData];
}
else{
  //not connected to internet!
}
