要在延迟后执行函数或代码，请使用下一个方法

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 'secondsOfDelay') {
        your code here...
    }

在本例中，函数getShowMovies将在1秒后执行

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) {
        self.getShowMovies()
    }

另一个帮手来延迟你的代码，这是100%的Swift使用，并可选地允许选择一个不同的线程来运行你的延迟代码:

public func delay(bySeconds seconds: Double, dispatchLevel: DispatchLevel = .main, closure: @escaping () -> Void) {
    let dispatchTime = DispatchTime.now() + seconds
    dispatchLevel.dispatchQueue.asyncAfter(deadline: dispatchTime, execute: closure)
}

public enum DispatchLevel {
    case main, userInteractive, userInitiated, utility, background
    var dispatchQueue: DispatchQueue {
        switch self {
        case .main:                 return DispatchQueue.main
        case .userInteractive:      return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive)
        case .userInitiated:        return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated)
        case .utility:              return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .utility)
        case .background:           return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background)
        }
    }
}

现在你只需在主线程上延迟你的代码，就像这样:

delay(bySeconds: 1.5) { 
    // delayed code
}

如果你想延迟你的代码到不同的线程:

delay(bySeconds: 1.5, dispatchLevel: .background) { 
    // delayed code that will run on background thread
}

如果你喜欢一个框架，也有一些更方便的功能，然后签出handysswift。你可以通过Carthage将它添加到你的项目中，然后像上面的例子一样使用它，例如:

import HandySwift    

delay(bySeconds: 1.5) { 
    // delayed code
}

我总是喜欢使用扩展而不是自由函数。

斯威夫特4

public extension DispatchQueue {

  private class func delay(delay: TimeInterval, closure: @escaping () -> Void) {
    let when = DispatchTime.now() + delay
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: when, execute: closure)
  }

  class func performAction(after seconds: TimeInterval, callBack: @escaping (() -> Void) ) {
    DispatchQueue.delay(delay: seconds) {
      callBack()
    }
  }

}

按以下方法使用。

DispatchQueue.performAction(after: 0.3) {
  // Code Here
}

使用这段代码在2.0秒后执行一些UI相关的任务。

            let delay = 2.0
            let delayInNanoSeconds = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
            let mainQueue = dispatch_get_main_queue()

            dispatch_after(delayInNanoSeconds, mainQueue, {

                print("Some UI related task after delay")
            })

Swift 3.0版本

以下闭包函数在主线程上执行一些延迟后的任务。

func performAfterDelay(delay : Double, onCompletion: @escaping() -> Void){

    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + delay, execute: {
       onCompletion()
    })
}

像这样调用这个函数:

performAfterDelay(delay: 4.0) {
  print("test")
}

Swift 3.0 & Swift 4.0 & Swift 5.0中最简单的解决方案

func delayWithSeconds(_ seconds: Double, completion: @escaping () -> ()) {
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + seconds) { 
        completion()
    }
}

使用

delayWithSeconds(1) {
   //Do something
}

Matt的语法非常好，如果你需要使块失效，你可能想使用这个:

typealias dispatch_cancelable_closure = (cancel : Bool) -> Void

func delay(time:NSTimeInterval, closure:()->Void) ->  dispatch_cancelable_closure? {

    func dispatch_later(clsr:()->Void) {
        dispatch_after(
            dispatch_time(
                DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,
                Int64(time * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
            ),
            dispatch_get_main_queue(), clsr)
    }

    var closure:dispatch_block_t? = closure
    var cancelableClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?

    let delayedClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure = { cancel in
        if closure != nil {
            if (cancel == false) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), closure!);
            }
        }
        closure = nil
        cancelableClosure = nil
    }

    cancelableClosure = delayedClosure

    dispatch_later {
        if let delayedClosure = cancelableClosure {
            delayedClosure(cancel: false)
        }
    }

    return cancelableClosure;
}

func cancel_delay(closure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?) {

    if closure != nil {
        closure!(cancel: true)
    }
}

使用方法如下

let retVal = delay(2.0) {
    println("Later")
}
delay(1.0) {
    cancel_delay(retVal)
}
