I am currently using NSTimer to load a “Please Wait” alert view in my application while it contacts a server. I want to get rid of this NSTimer and change it so that it runs the “Please Wait” alert view in a loop until it gets a response from the server.

How would I do this?

    A loop would be bad (blocking the main thread), but if you use NSURLConnection object you get a connectionDidFinishLoading: message in the delegate.

    • You pop up the alert when you start the connection.
    • You dismiss the alert in the connectionDidFinishLoading: of your delegate.
      • And also when an error occurs.

    Though I agree with @Radu when it’s about user experience.
