Delay Actions in Swift

Question

I want to make an Activity Indicator start animating and then stop after one second.

So does anyone know how I could do that?

class stuff {
@IBOutlet         


        

Answer 1

Here is a cleaner and more expressive code to do this using Swift 3.1 and Grand Central Dispatch:

Swift 3.1:

indicator.startAnimating()

// Runs after 1 second on the main queue.
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .seconds(1) ) { 
    indicator.stopAnimating()
}

Also .seconds(Int), .microseconds(Int) and .nanoseconds(Int) may be used for the time.
