Be Careful with "UI API called on a background thread"


After maybe one months I'm quarantined, It's so bored to be at home without doing anything. Luckily I have projects to do. And Of course to write post for this ungapps blog. Today I'm glad I can write to make my english writting better. I think day after day my english gets better haha. Yes honestly I still used google translate to translate some vocabularies that I literally have forgotten.

Today, I want to dig a little bit deeper about Thread in iOS Swift. We need to learn this thing. Because It's very important when we're doing UI think with other thread like downloading video. Because if you don't pay attentation enough, your app would be like freeze in a moment. And It's very bad for User Experience.

Luckily Xcode helps us to catch something that's not right. It would show message like title above "UI API callend on a background thread" in a specific line of code. To do that you need Runtime API Checking is ticked. Edit Scheme->Run (Debug)->Diagnostics->Runtime API Checking. By default it should've been ticked.




I have given you an example when message "UI API called on a background thread" appears on your Xcode. If you want to try, you can try to remove "DispatchQueue.main.async" part don't forget to remove Curly Bracket too.

I will give a screenshoot that I have got when trying not to use "DispatchQueue.main.async". Remember "DispatchQueue.main.async" is used for UI things. "DispatchQueue.global" you can use for others heavy computation or loading big data from internet.






Thanks for visiting my simple blog. I hope I can share more knowledge not just iOS background. If I have more time, I'm interested to learn about Flutter.

How to have ConstraintLayout inside ScrollView and ScrollView inside ConstraintLayout Android

Hai guys, last week I found a unique way to create layout Android look. You can see the title, that's actually what I want. I know it sounds weird but sometimes we need to create something that we might curious if it's in o n the internet or not. Why I'm using ConstraintLayout because it's almost same with iOS xcode. There is constraint where you can set top constraint, bottom constraint, left constraint and right constraint. So it's easy for me to design like what I want. But it's personal, it depends on you too. And fortunely you can combine ScrollView and ConstraintLayout. Because you need to worry when the height of your layout is high than real device height. And if you don't use UIScrollview your component will be unseen when the height of device is more small than layout that we design. Like my app, I want to use ConstraintLayout and ScrollView together. Maybe it can do with RelativeLayout or others layout. But something special that I want i

How to restart the app with flutter Android and iOS

Hi all, welcome back to my blog. And today lesson is about flutter again. I have a little problem when trying to resart the app directly from the app. So what I mean is I want to restart the app after users do something. Because if I don't do it, the app flow will be bad and the data that I want to refresh will be failed. So in my use case in my app is I want to restart the app after user sign in or sign out in my app. The reason is I need to restart all of the previous state. That's the easy way I can do, and I have some problems with camera plugin. The problem is happened only on android, so when you click sign in google/facebook, there'll be new page native from their sdk and making the app in inactive status. That'll will make camera bug, and it will make the app crash.
