TableView reloaddata after UI shows up

Hi,

I have tabbar app where the second tab has a tableViewController.
When on the first tab i select the second tab the tableview shows up and all data is loaded.

The problem is, that the data is from the network and it takes 2-3 seconds to load. Until the data is loaded the UI of the tableview is not showen until all data is loaded.

How can i show the second tab with no data in the tableview and then reload the table data?

I've tried to use -viewWillAppear and -viewDidAppear but the UI is not showen until they both completely finish.

This is what i've tried

Code:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	
	dataArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"", nil];
	
	[self.tableView reloadData];

	[super viewWillAppear:animated];

}


 - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	
        [self loadData]; //This will load the actual data into dataArray
	[self.tableView reloadData];
	  
        [super viewDidAppear:animated];
 }
