below is my code. I want the value for Latitude and Longitude in my Poststring. But When he do the poststring my values are still nil because swift didn't update the location yet. So how can I wait for latitude and longitude before poststring gets the Values? I heard something of didset but I don't know how to use it and where I have to use it.
import Foundation
import CoreLocation
protocol FeedmodelProtocol: class {
func itemsDownloaded(items: NSArray)
}
class Feedmodel: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
weak var delegate: FeedmodelProtocol!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager() // create Location Manager object
var latitude : Double?
var longitude : Double?
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
guard let location: CLLocationCoordinate2D = manager.location?.coordinate else { return }
// set the value of lat and long
latitude = location.latitude
longitude = location.longitude
}
func downloadItems() {
self.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
// For use in foreground
// You will need to update your .plist file to request the authorization
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
let myUrl = URL(string: "http://example.com/stock_service4.php");
let defaultSession = Foundation.URLSession(configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.default)
var request = URLRequest(url:myUrl!)
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
var postString = ""
if let lat = latitude, let long = longitude {
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
postString = "lati=\(Int(lat))&longi=\(Int(long))"
// do task here now that postString is not empty
}
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8)
let task = defaultSession.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(String(describing: error))")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(String(describing: response))")
print("error=\(String(describing: error))")
}
let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
print("responseString = \(String(describing: responseString))")
print("error=\(String(describing: error))")
self.parseJSON(data)
}
task.resume()
}
func parseJSON(_ data:Data) {
var jsonResult = NSArray()
do{
jsonResult = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options:JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.allowFragments) as! NSArray;
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
var jsonElement = NSDictionary()
let stocks = NSMutableArray()
for i in 0 ..< jsonResult.count
{
print(jsonResult)
jsonElement = jsonResult[i] as! NSDictionary
let stock = Stockmodel()
//the following insures none of the JsonElement values are nil through optional binding
if let Datum = jsonElement["Datum"] as? String,
let Tankstelle = jsonElement["Tankstelle"] as? String,
let Kraftstoff1 = jsonElement["Kraftstoff1"] as? String,
let Preis1 = jsonElement["Preis1"] as? String,
let Kraftstoff2 = jsonElement["Kraftstoff2"] as? String,
let Preis2 = jsonElement["Preis2"] as? String,
let Notiz = jsonElement["Notiz"] as? String,
let longitude = jsonElement["longitude"] as? String,
let latitude = jsonElement["latitude"] as? String
{
print (Datum)
print(Tankstelle)
print(Kraftstoff1)
print(Preis1)
print(Kraftstoff2)
print(Preis2)
print(Notiz)
print(longitude)
print(latitude)
stock.Datum = Datum
stock.Tankstelle = Tankstelle
stock.Kraftstoff1 = Kraftstoff1
stock.Preis1 = Preis1
stock.Kraftstoff2 = Kraftstoff2
stock.Preis2 = Preis2
stock.Notiz = Notiz
stock.longitude = longitude
stock.latitude = latitude
}
stocks.add(stock)
}
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: { () -> Void in
self.delegate.itemsDownloaded(items: stocks)
})
}
}
Thank You!
