Question

I know I can create a separate thread in cocoa touch with the following code:

       [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(getEarthquakeData) toTarget:self withObject:nil]; 

How to go back to the process of my primary thread? I know I can do this from the delegate with this code:

    [(id)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(addToEarthquakeList:) withObject:self.currentEarthquakeObject waitUntilDone:YES]; 

How would I do the above if the main thread was running in a controller and not in the delegate like above.

Thanks!

Can’t you just do:

[controller performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(addToEarthquakeList:) withObject:self.currentEarthquakeObject waitUntilDone:YES]; 

…or did I misinterpret your question? (I thought you were asking how to run a controller method on the main thread.)
