Find out when my asynchronous call is finished

Question

I iterate through a list of photo albums on a iOS device. After having iterated through this group I want to simply print out the number of albums that were found.

What do I have to change in my code that the NSLog statement is only executed, when all the albums were loaded.

ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];      
NSMutableArray *tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

void (^groupBlock)(ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop){
    if (group == nil){return;}
    [tempArray addObject:group];
 };

void (^failureBlock)(NSError *) = ^(NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"A problem occured %@", [error description]);                                     
};  

[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAll
                       usingBlock:groupBlock 
                     failureBlock:failureBlock];   

NSLog(@"%i albums were loaded", tempArray.count);

Answer 1

Your groupBlock will receive a group of nil when the enumeration is completed, so change:

if (group == nil){return;}

to

NSLog(@"%i albums were loaded", tempArray.count);

From the Class reference:

When the enumeration is done, enumerationBlock is invoked with group set to nil.
