I am trying to add annotations to MKMapView
of a single view app. Coordinates for annotations come from JSON
data I fetch with a URLSession.dataTask
and it occurs to me that the map view is updated faster than the data is fetched, parsed and put in a relevant array. How should I tackle this issue? Pieces of relevant map view code below.
import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation
class MapViewController: UIViewController {
// MARK: - Properties
@IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var userLocation: CLLocation?
var sensors = [Sensor]()
let mapCenter = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 60.227704, longitude: 24.983821)
var region = MKCoordinateRegion()
// MARK: - Lifecycle
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let endpoint = "uiras2_v1"
let url = uirasURL(with: endpoint)
self.performRequest(url: url)
self.mapView.addAnnotations(self.sensors)
region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: mapCenter, latitudinalMeters: 8000, longitudinalMeters: 25000)
mapView.setRegion(mapView.regionThatFits(region), animated: true)
mapView.showsUserLocation = true
}
// MARK: - TODO data fetching
func performRequest(url: URL) {
// create URLSession
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
// give session task
let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error as Any)
return
}
if let safeData = data {
self.parseJSON(responseData: safeData)
}
}
// start the task
task.resume()
}
func parseJSON(responseData: Data) {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let decodedData = try decoder.decode(Response.self, from: responseData)
for sensor in decodedData.sensors {
sensors.append(sensor.value)
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
You could just add the annotations right after it is being decoded.
let decodedData = try decoder.decode(Response.self, from: responseData)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
mapView.addAnnotations(decodedData.sensors)
}
