AFNetworking Post Request with json feedback

Question

I am using AFNetworking and creating a post request for which I require json feedback. The code below works however I have two main questions; where do I release the Activit

Answer 1

Why not use this instead?

    [[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager] setEnabled:YES];

Hence there's no need to alloc and init

Can't say much on the other codes, just started out learning objective-C and AFNetworking.. :)

Answer 2

I know this question is a bit old, but I still wanted to contribute.

As steveOhh said, you should use [[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager] setEnabled:YES] to turn on the activity network indicator. It is a singleton, and hence it doesn't require you to manually alloc-init and release. As to the other question, I noticed you are missing some parameters in your block calls, also, you can do this, which is much cleaner code:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"mysite/user/signup"];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url] success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
    // your success code here
} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
    // your failure code here
}];

[operation start]; // start your operation directly, unless you really need to use a queue
