下面的代码是否有缺点(当需要启动前台屏幕之后)?

import Foundation
import UIKit

class TestTimeDelay {

    static var connected:Bool = false
    
    static var counter:Int = 0

    static func showAfterDelayControl(uiViewController:UIViewController) {
        NSLog("TestTimeDelay", "showAfterDelayControl")
    }
    
    static func tryReconnect() -> Bool {
        counter += 1
        NSLog("TestTimeDelay", "Counter:\(counter)")
        return counter > 4
    }

    static func waitOnConnectWithDelay(milliseconds:Int, uiViewController: UIViewController) {
        
        DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
            DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + DispatchTimeInterval.milliseconds(milliseconds), execute: {
                waitOnConnect(uiViewController: uiViewController)
            })
        }
    }

    static func waitOnConnect(uiViewController:UIViewController) {

        connected = tryReconnect()
        if connected {
            showAfterDelayControl(uiViewController: uiViewController)
        }
        else {
            waitOnConnectWithDelay(milliseconds: 200, uiViewController:uiViewController)
        }
     }
}   

Swift 3版本

Swift 3利用新的DispatchQueue类来管理队列和线程。要在后台线程上运行一些东西，你可以使用:

let backgroundQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.app.queue", qos: .background)
backgroundQueue.async {
    print("Run on background thread")
}

或者如果你想在两行代码中实现:

DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
    print("Run on background thread")

    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        print("We finished that.")
        // only back on the main thread, may you access UI:
        label.text = "Done."
    }
}

你也可以在本教程中获得一些关于Swift 3中GDC的深入信息。

Dan Beaulieu在swift5中给出了答案(从swift 3.0.1开始也可以工作)。

斯威夫特5.0.1

extension DispatchQueue {

    static func background(delay: Double = 0.0, background: (()->Void)? = nil, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
        DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
            background?()
            if let completion = completion {
                DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delay, execute: {
                    completion()
                })
            }
        }
    }

}

使用

DispatchQueue.background(delay: 3.0, background: {
    // do something in background
}, completion: {
    // when background job finishes, wait 3 seconds and do something in main thread
})

DispatchQueue.background(background: {
    // do something in background
}, completion:{
    // when background job finished, do something in main thread
})

DispatchQueue.background(delay: 3.0, completion:{
    // do something in main thread after 3 seconds
})

快4.倍

把这些放到文件中:

func background(work: @escaping () -> ()) {
    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async {
        work()
    }
}

func main(work: @escaping () -> ()) {
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        work()
    }
}

然后在需要的地方调用它:

background {
     //background job
     main {
       //update UI (or what you need to do in main thread)
     }
}

在Swift 4.2中，这是可行的。

import Foundation

class myThread: Thread
{
    override func main() {
        while(true) {
            print("Running in the Thread");
            Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: 4);
        }
    }
}

let t = myThread();
t.start();

while(true) {
    print("Main Loop");
    sleep(5);
}

最佳实践是定义一个可多次访问的可重用函数。

可重用的功能:

例如，AppDelegate.swift是一个全局函数。

func backgroundThread(_ delay: Double = 0.0, background: (() -> Void)? = nil, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(Int(QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED.value), 0)) {
        background?()

        let popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
        dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            completion?()
        }
    }
}

注意:在Swift 2.0中替换QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED。使用QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED。rawValue相反

用法:

a .在后台运行一个进程，延迟3秒:

    backgroundThread(3.0, background: {
            // Your background function here
    })

B.在后台运行一个进程，然后在前台运行一个补全:

    backgroundThread(background: {
            // Your function here to run in the background
    },
    completion: {
            // A function to run in the foreground when the background thread is complete
    })

C.延迟3秒-注意使用completion参数而不使用background参数:

    backgroundThread(3.0, completion: {
            // Your delayed function here to be run in the foreground
    })
