UIAlertView showing up very slowly

Question

Description:(You can also download the Project HERE)

Its a very simple View based app With 3 Classes: AppDelgate ViewControler and a TestOperation which implement NSOperation; AppDelegate was just the one produced by XCode; TestOperation.h:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@protocol TestOperationDelegate

- (void)didFinishTestOperaion;

@end


@interface TestOperation : NSOperation {
    id <TestOperationDelegate> delegate;
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) id <TestOperationDelegate> delegate;

@end

TestOperation.m

#import "TestOperation.h"


@implementation TestOperation

@synthesize delegate;

- (void)main {
    [delegate didFinishTestOperaion];
}

@end

ViewContoller.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
    TestOperation *testOperation = [[TestOperation alloc] init];
    testOperation.delegate = self;
    [queue addOperation:testOperation];
    [testOperation release];
}

- (void)didFinishTestOperaion {
    NSLog(@"start uialertview");
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                          initWithTitle:@"Oops!" message:@"Here's the UIAlertView" 
                          delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Confirm" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}

Solved!! Use performSelectorOnMainThread to make the UI run on Main Thread

[alert performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(show) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
