NSstream reading\writing

[J0ker]

Hi!

I have a socket connection through wifi, and I need to read from inputStream and write to outputStream. The problem is that stream management is event-driven, and I have to wait for event NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable before reading. So I can't know when reading\writing outside the handleEvent:eventCode delegate method.

I tried a while loop, but I realized that during the while loop the app doesn't receive delegate messages and never stops:

Pseudo-code:

-(void) myFunction {
   canRead=NO;
   [self writeToStream:someData];
   while(!canRead) { };
   readData=[self readFromStream];
}

- (void)stream:(NSStream *)stream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode {

	switch(eventCode) {
          case NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable: {
	    canRead=YES;
	    break;
	  }
       }
}

I think I could read\write inside the delegate method, but I need to read\write many times outside that.

Help!
Thankyou

Maybe it works in a new thread
