Accessing objects in different controllers while using different threads in cocoa

Question

I'm pulling in xml using the cocoa NSXmlParser. Since this process most likely won't finish before my view is loaded I want to move it to a secondary thread like I have seen in many examples including the seismicxml example on the apple site.

The flow of my application is as follows. I have a table view which cells can be clicked to get to another tableview which is populated by nsxmlparser.

I know this is how you populate an object if you are doing your logic in the app delegate:

[(id)[[UIApplication neare] delegate] performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(addToBusStopList:) withObject:busStop waitUntilDone:YES];

but how do you do this if you are working in the table view controller like I am?

Answer 1

When the parser finishes can't you tell the tableview to update itself:

[tableView reloadData];
