So I am trying to display an animated loading view (custom built) that will continue to animate while making a synchronous request to a web service.
I am familiar with synchronous and asynchrous requests using NSURLConnections and delegates, but my problem is that I want to ensure that my thread WAITS for the request to finish BUT still animates my loading indicator.
Are there any suggestions as to what the best way to go about this is?
Doing this with a synchronous request is not the way to go — if you want your app to “wait” for the request to finish, you just put whatever code you want to resume after the request finishes in the connectionDidFinishLoading: method. That way, your UI will not be stalled and you can animate your loading indicator.
