    <p>Just a question on how delegates work. </p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Because I may have confused you, here is a structure of my app.</p> <p><strong>LocationManager</strong> with some delegate functions.</p> <p>This class defines some delegate methods like:</p> <pre><code>@protocol LocationManagerDelegate &lt;NSObject&gt; @optional - (void)locationManager:(LocationManager *)locationManager distanceUpdated:(CLLocationDistance)distance; @end </code></pre> <p>My <strong>MainViewController</strong> instantiates the LocationManager and implements the functions of the delegate.</p> <pre><code>[LocationManager sharedLocationManager].delegate = self; </code></pre> <p>So, inside the LocationManager there is the function:</p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation </code></pre> <p>and inside that I am calling a custom function f1, and a delegate function like this:</p> <pre><code> [self.delegate locationManager:self distanceUpdated:self.totalDistance]; </code></pre> <p>The code in the delegate function, implemented in my MainViewController is this:</p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(LocationManager *)locationManager distanceUpdated:(CLLocationDistance)distance { self.totalDistanceCovered.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f %@", distance, NSLocalizedString(@"meters", @"")]; } </code></pre> <p>So my question is:</p> <p>Which of this is more efficient and will not may my app blocks?</p> <p><em>This solution:</em></p> <p>in <strong>LocationManager</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { ... [self.delegate locationManager:self distanceUpdated:self.totalDistance]; ... f1(); } </code></pre> <p>in <strong>mainViewController</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(PSLocationManager *)locationManager distanceUpdated:(CLLocationDistance)distance { self.totalDistanceCovered.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f %@", distance, NSLocalizedString(@"meters", @"")]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>OR</strong></p> <p>in <strong>LocationManager</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { ... [self.delegate locationManager:self distanceUpdated:self.totalDistance]; ... } </code></pre> <p>in <strong>mainViewController</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)locationManager:(PSLocationManager *)locationManager distanceUpdated:(CLLocationDistance)distance { self.totalDistanceCovered.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f %@", distance, NSLocalizedString(@"meters", @"")]; f1(); } </code></pre> <p>Or are they completely identical?</p> <p>By that I mean that it will be implemented as a delegate method and the actual code will be in my mainViewController. (move the logic outside my didUpdate - and have it in my mainViewController)is it better? Because right now inside my didUpdate I am performing some extra things. Or is it the same?</p> <p>When a delegate method is called, does the place from where is it called stall and wait for the completion or it continues and runs independently from the delegate method? (I am having in my mind that it may be assigned to a different thread for example, so it does not stall - and therefore my did update will not wait for my custom function to finish but it will continue getting updates for locations).</p> <p>Can you help me?</p>

    1. COCan you post the code that is doing the label updating? Make sure that it is being run on the main thread. Also I may be confused, but are you creating your own `LocationManagerDelegate` and also using `CLLocationManagerDelegate`?

    2. CO@nick I will update the post yes in a min, but the code is just a [self.labelname setText:...]. My actual question whether it is the same that the custom function will be called in the LocationManager or from my MainViewController.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
