My app crashes some time while removing wait view from screen. Please guide me how can i improve code given below.
The wait view is only called when app is downloading something from server. and when it completed download then i call removeWaitView method.
Exception Type: NSGenericException
Reason: Collection was mutated while being enumerated.
+(void) removeWaitView:(UIView *) view{
NSLog(@"Shared->removeWaitView:");
UIView *temp=nil;
temp=[view viewWithTag:kWaitViewTag];
if (temp!=nil) {
[temp removeFromSuperview];
}
}
my waitview adding code is
+(void) showWaitViewInView:(UIView *)view withText:(NSString *)text{
NSLog(@"Shared->showWaitViewWithtag");
UIView *temp=nil;
temp=[view viewWithTag:kWaitViewTag];
if (temp!=nil)
{
return;
}
//width 110 height 40
WaitViewByIqbal *waitView=[[WaitViewByIqbal alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,90,35)];
waitView.center=CGPointMake(view.frame.size.width/2,(view.frame.size. height/2) -15);
waitView.tag=kWaitViewTag; // waitView.waitLabel.text=text;
[view addSubview:waitView];
[waitView release];
}

The exception is pretty clear - a collection (in this case something like an array) is being modified while it is also being enumerated.
In this specific case we are talking about array of layers, or better said, instances of
UIView
which are all backed up by layers.The modifications happen when you are calling
removeFromSuperview
oraddSubview
. The enumeration can happen anytime during redrawing.My guess is - you are not calling your methods from the main thread and the main thread is currently redrawing, so you'll get a racing condition.
Solution: call these methods only from the main thread.
