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()
    }

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。

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。

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()))
}

Apple为Objective-C提供了dispatch_after代码段:

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(<#delayInSeconds#> * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
});

以下是移植到Swift 3的相同代码片段:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + <#delayInSeconds#>) {
  <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
}

1)添加这个方法作为UIViewController Extension的一部分。

extension UIViewController{
func runAfterDelay(delay: NSTimeInterval, block: dispatch_block_t) {
        let time = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
        dispatch_after(time, dispatch_get_main_queue(), block)
    }
}

在VC上调用这个方法:

    self.runAfterDelay(5.0, block: {
     //Add code to this block
        print("run After Delay Success")
    })

2)

performSelector("yourMethod Name", withObject: nil, afterDelay: 1)

3)

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 2), dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> () in
    //Code Here
})

/ /紧凑的形式

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 2), dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
    //Code here
 }
}
