I have a Problem working with Blocks in Objective-C. My Problem is, that the completion block from the function readDataFromCharactUUID is never called using the do-while-loop. Without using the do-while-loop it is called once.
What i want to do with my code is to read a value from a BLE characteristic so often as the value is 0x01.
My Question: Why is the completion block never executed? What can I do, that the completion block is getting executed in my case?
Used Code:
static bool dataReady = false;
-(IBAction)Buttonstartpressed:(UIButton *)sender{
LGLog(@"start pressed");
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:(unsigned char[]){CMD_Control_Learn} length:1];
[LGUtils writeData :data
charactUUID :CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYControl
serviceUUID :SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY
peripheral :_mBuddy completion:^(NSError *error)
{
// Befehl wurde übermittelt
NSLog(@"Einlernen gesendet => Error : %@", error);
do
{
// RB_Notification Data Ready auslesen
[LGUtils readDataFromCharactUUID:CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYNotification
serviceUUID:SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY
peripheral:_mBuddy
completion:^(NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(@"Data : %@ Error : %@", data, error);
const uint8_t *bytes = [data bytes]; // pointer to the bytes in data
int data_int = bytes[0]; // first byte
switch(data_int)
{
case 0x01:
NSLog(@"Data ready!");
dataReady = true;
break;
case 0x02:
NSLog(@"Data Transimission Error!");
break;
case 0x00:
NSLog(@"No Notification! => check again");
break;
default:
break;
}
}
];
}
while(!dataReady);
}];}
Thank you in advance!
That execution block is async - meaning it will execute on different thread. I would create function for reading from peripheral and after you read and results are 0x01 then call another function, else call that function with recursion.
Something like this (not 100% sure about compiling - not at the mac right now) :
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:(unsigned char[]){CMD_Control_Learn} length:1];
[LGUtils writeData :data
charactUUID :CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYControl
serviceUUID :SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY
peripheral :_mBuddy completion:^(NSError *error)
{
// Befehl wurde übermittelt
NSLog(@"Einlernen gesendet => Error : %@", error);
// RB_Notification Data Ready auslesen
[self checkForStatus:CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYNotification andServiceUUID: SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY andPeripheral:_mBuddy];
}];
}
-(void) checkForStatus:(NSString*)characteristic andServiceUUID:(NSString*) service andPeripheral:(CBPeripheral*) _mBuddy{
[LGUtils readDataFromCharactUUID:CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYNotification
serviceUUID:SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY
peripheral:_mBuddy
completion:^(NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(@"Data : %@ Error : %@", data, error);
const uint8_t *bytes = [data bytes]; // pointer to the bytes in data
int data_int = bytes[0]; // first byte
switch(data_int)
{
case 0x01:
NSLog(@"Data ready!");
[self dataReady]; // some of yours functions
break;
case 0x02:
[self checkForStatus:CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYNotification andServiceUUID: SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY andPeripheral:_mBuddy];
break;
case 0x00:
[self checkForStatus:CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_REMOTEBUDDYNotification andServiceUUID: SERVICE_UUID_REMOTEBUDDY andPeripheral:_mBuddy];
break;
default:
break;
}
}
];
}
