在iOS中定期在后台线程中运行任务

我是iOS的新手。我在应用程序上工作需要运行一个任务,在后台线程中从服务器获取数据,因为我不想在主线程中锁定UI。这个任务需要很长时间,我尝试使用NSTimer,但它仍然锁定了UI。我的任务是在聊天屏幕中查看新消息,我需要每隔5秒调用一次此任务。如果我使用NSTimer,当输入文本时,文本似乎在此任务执行时冻结片刻。有没有办法在没有锁定UI的情况下处理此任务。请给我一些建议。非常感谢。

 - (void)performBackgroundTask
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        //Do background work

        if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"LoggedIn"]) {
            NSDictionary * userDictionary = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] dictionaryForKey:@"SessionDictionary"];

            NSString *authenKey= [userDictionary valueForKey:@"authToken"];

            NSString* limit = @"1000";

            [[LSDataManager sharedDataManager] getLatestMessagesWithAuthKey:authenKey andLimit:limit withBlock:^ (NSDictionary* responseDict)
             {
                 if (responseDict) {
                     [self loadDataFromServer:responseDict];

                     NSArray* lastMessageArray= nil;

                     //filter message data
                     if (self.MessagesArray.count >0) {

                         if (!self.isSeller) {

                             lastMessageArray = [self filterMessageData:self.MessagesArray withProductID:self.productID withSellerID:self.receiverID withBuyerID:self.senderID];
                         }
                         else
                         {
                             lastMessageArray = [self filterMessageData:self.MessagesArray withProductID:self.productID withSellerID:self.senderID withBuyerID:self.receiverID];
                         }

                         NSLog(@"filter array %@",lastMessageArray);

                         if([lastMessageArray count] >0){
                             //[self loadMessages:lastMessageArray];
                             if (self.TempdataSource == nil) {
                                 self.TempdataSource = [NSMutableArray array];
                             }
                             else
                             {
                                 [self.TempdataSource removeAllObjects];
                             }

                             self.TempdataSource = [[[ContentManager sharedManager] generateConversation:lastMessageArray withSenderID:self.senderID] mutableCopy];

                         }
                     }
                 }
             }];
        }


        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            //Update UI

            //compare 2 arrays
            if ([self.TempdataSource count] == [self.dataSource count]) {
                NSLog(@"both are same");
            }
            else{
                NSLog(@"both are different");
                self.dataSource = [self.TempdataSource mutableCopy];

                [self refreshMessages];
            }

        });
    });
}

使用NSTimer安排任务确实是正确的方法。您只需要确保在后台线程上运行繁重的非UI代码。这是一个例子

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];    
    [self startTimedTask];
}

- (void)startTimedTask
{
    NSTimer *fiveSecondTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5.0 target:self selector:@selector(performBackgroundTask) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

- (void)performBackgroundTask
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        //Do background work
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            //Update UI
        });
    });
}

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue( DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^(void){
    //Background Thread
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
        //Run UI Updates
    });
});
