以下是Swift中asyncAfter的同步版本:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore.init(value: 0)
DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
    semaphore.signal()
}

semaphore.wait()

与异步的一起:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
}

我经常使用dispatch_after，所以我写了一个顶级实用函数来简化语法:

func delay(delay:Double, closure:()->()) {
    dispatch_after(
        dispatch_time(
            DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,
            Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
        ),
        dispatch_get_main_queue(), closure)
}

现在你可以这样说:

delay(0.4) {
    // do stuff
}

哇，一种你可以改进的语言。还有什么比这更好的呢?

更新Swift 3, Xcode 8种子6

看起来几乎不值得费心，现在他们已经改进了调用语法:

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

更清晰的结构概念:

dispatch_after(when: dispatch_time_t, queue: dispatch_queue_t, block: dispatch_block_t?)

dispatch_time_t为UInt64。dispatch_queue_t实际上是一个NSObject的类型别名，但是你应该使用你熟悉的GCD方法来获取队列。该区块是一个快速关闭。具体来说，dispatch_block_t定义为()-> Void，相当于()->()。

使用示例:

let delayTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(1 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
dispatch_after(delayTime, dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
    print("test")
}

编辑:

我推荐使用@matt的延时函数。

编辑2:

在Swift 3中，GCD将会有新的包装器。请看这里:https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0088-libdispatch-for-swift3.md

原来的例子在Swift 3中是这样写的:

let deadlineTime = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(1)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: deadlineTime) {
    print("test")
}

注意，你可以将deadlineTime声明写为DispatchTime.now() + 1.0，并得到相同的结果，因为+操作符被重写如下(与-类似):

func +(time: DispatchTime, seconds: Double) -> DispatchTime . func +(time: DispatchTime, seconds: Double func +(time: DispatchWalltime, interval: DispatchTimeInterval) -> DispatchWalltime . func +(time: DispatchWalltime, interval: DispatchTimeInterval

这意味着如果您不使用DispatchTimeInterval enum，而只是写一个数字，则假定您使用的是秒。

在Swift 3.0中

调度队列

  DispatchQueue(label: "test").async {
        //long running Background Task
        for obj in 0...1000 {
            print("async \(obj)")
        }

        // UI update in main queue
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: { 
            print("UI update on main queue")
        })

    }

    DispatchQueue(label: "m").sync {
        //long running Background Task
        for obj in 0...1000 {
            print("sync \(obj)")
        }

        // UI update in main queue
        DispatchQueue.main.sync(execute: {
            print("UI update on main queue")
        })
    }

5秒后调度

    DispatchQueue.main.after(when: DispatchTime.now() + 5) {
        print("Dispatch after 5 sec")
    }

Swift 3和4:

您可以在DispatchQueue上创建一个扩展，并在内部添加使用DispatchQueue asyncAfter函数的函数delay

extension DispatchQueue {
    static func delay(_ delay: DispatchTimeInterval, closure: @escaping () -> ()) {
        let timeInterval = DispatchTime.now() + delay
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: timeInterval, execute: closure)
    }
}

使用:

DispatchQueue.delay(.seconds(1)) {
    print("This is after delay")
}

以下是Swift中asyncAfter的同步版本:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore.init(value: 0)
DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
    semaphore.signal()
}

semaphore.wait()

与异步的一起:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
}
