dispatch_async method implement second method without execute first method

Question

NSString *firstID = @"https://wallpaperbrowse.com/media/images/soap-bubble-1958650_960_720.jpg";

imagine there my firstID is thumbnail image when i pass first id it goes to get full image and get original image

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                NSLog(@"0");
                [self GetFullImage:firstID];
                NSLog(@"1");
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    NSLog(@"2");
                    UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]                                                                initWithActivityItems:PAN applicationActivities:nil];
                    activityViewController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view;
                    [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
                    NSLog(@"3");
                    NSLog(@"PAGGGGGG:%@",PAN);

                });
            });

first method code:

- (void)GetFullImage:(NSString *)FullPath{
    NSString *UserName = [Appdata sharedDataModel].userNameString;
    NSString *Password = [Appdata sharedDataModel].passwordString;
    NSString *DeviceType = [Appdata device];
    NSString *VersionNo = [Appdata buildVersion];

    NSMutableDictionary *parameterDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

    [parameterDict setObject:UserName forKey:@"UserName"];
    [parameterDict setObject:Password forKey:@"Password"];
    [parameterDict setObject:DeviceType forKey:@"DeviceType"];
    [parameterDict setObject:VersionNo forKey:@"VersionNo"];
    [parameterDict setObject:FullPath forKey:@"FullPath"];

    [[APIUtility sharedInstance] get_Orig_Full_Image_Disp:parameterDict finishResult:^(id response) {

        if(response){
            @try {
                iconImage=nil;
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    [SHaREDATA removeAllObjects];
                    [SHaREDATA addObject:response];
                    NSLog(@"15975368420:%@",SHaREDATA);

                    NSString *FullImage = [[[SHaREDATA objectAtIndex:0]valueForKey:@"Path"]objectAtIndex:0];
                    NSLog(@"ppppppppppp:%@",FullImage);
                    NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString:FullImage]];
                    iconImage = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
                    NSLog(@"YYYYYYYYYY:%@",iconImage);
                    NSString  * savePath  = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/whatsAppTmp.jpg"];
                    [UIImageJPEGRepresentation(iconImage, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];
                    PAN =@[iconImage];
                });

            }
            @catch (NSException *exception) {
            }
        }
    }];
}

i tried many ways but that all execute like my result i want to execute first get full image than it execute UIActivityController please help me i stuck in this many days.

when i use dispatch_sync it block method, which is inside this method.

Answer 1

In my opinion, you should use block in this case. Remake GetFullImage: method with a completionBlock and show UIActivityController in completionBlock. You can check the code below

- (void)GetFullImage:(NSString *)FullPath completion:(void(^)(UIImage* image))completion{
  NSString *UserName = [Appdata sharedDataModel].userNameString;
  NSString *Password = [Appdata sharedDataModel].passwordString;
  NSString *DeviceType = [Appdata device];
  NSString *VersionNo = [Appdata buildVersion];

  NSMutableDictionary *parameterDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

  [parameterDict setObject:UserName forKey:@"UserName"];
  [parameterDict setObject:Password forKey:@"Password"];
  [parameterDict setObject:DeviceType forKey:@"DeviceType"];
  [parameterDict setObject:VersionNo forKey:@"VersionNo"];
  [parameterDict setObject:FullPath forKey:@"FullPath"];

  [[APIUtility sharedInstance] get_Orig_Full_Image_Disp:parameterDict finishResult:^(id response) {

    if(response){
      @try {
        iconImage=nil;
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
          [SHaREDATA removeAllObjects];
          [SHaREDATA addObject:response];
          NSLog(@"15975368420:%@",SHaREDATA);

          NSString *FullImage = [[[SHaREDATA objectAtIndex:0]valueForKey:@"Path"]objectAtIndex:0];
          NSLog(@"ppppppppppp:%@",FullImage);
          NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString:FullImage]];
          iconImage = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
          NSLog(@"YYYYYYYYYY:%@",iconImage);
          NSString  * savePath  = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/whatsAppTmp.jpg"];
          [UIImageJPEGRepresentation(iconImage, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];
          PAN =@[iconImage];

          if (completion) {
            completion(iconImage);
          }
        });

      }
      @catch (NSException *exception) {
        if (completion) {
          completion(nil);
        }
      }
    }
  }];
}

Usage:

[self GetFullImage:firstID completion:^(UIImage *image) {
  if (!image) {
    return;
  }

  NSLog(@"2");
  UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]                                                                initWithActivityItems:@[iconImage] applicationActivities:nil];
  activityViewController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view;
  [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
  NSLog(@"3");
  NSLog(@"PAGGGGGG:%@",image);
}];
