UILabel Refresh | 易学教程

问题

I have looked into this, but I’m still not quite clear how to do it. I have a UILabel. I would like to write out a word... letter by latter. It goes through each letter, then at the end the entire word shows up. At first I thought it was just because it was too fast, so I put in a delay with something like this.

    typedWord.text = [typedWord.text stringByAppendingString:@"C"];
    future = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow: letterPause ];
    [NSThread sleepUntilDate:future];

Then I read that it may be because it doesn’t refresh until the function call is finished. The suggestion was to use a selector call. I’m not sure how to do this. Any suggestions?

You are sleeping the main thread, so the UI is not getting refreshed until the end of the sleep.

You need to implement something like the following:

// This code is in your view controller somewhere, where you initially decide to update the label. typedWord is the outlet to your UILabel.
NSString *newText = @"Hello";
typedWord.text = @"";
[self performSelector:@selector(updateLabel:) withObject:newText afterDelay:0.2];

This calls:

// This is a separate method in your view controller, so typedWord still refers to the label outlet.
-(void)updateLabel:(NSString*)newText 
{
    // Get the first character of the passed in string
    NSString *firstCharacter = [newText substringToIndex:1];

    // Add this to whatever the current label text is
    typedWord.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",typedWord.text,firstCharacter];

    // Trim off the first character
    NSString *remainingCharacters = [newText stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0,1) withString:@""];

    //If we still have characters left, do the loop again.
    if (![remainingCharacters isEqualToString:@""])
        [self performSelector:@selector(updateLabel:) withObject:remainingCharacters afterDelay:0.2];
}
