Get object id on object creation (Parse.com)

I would like to set a string value for the object id when I create the below object. At the moment it is printing "zero". Any ideas? Thanks to

    var date:NSDate = currentDatePicker.date
    var DOB:NSDate = DOBPicker.date

    var user = PFUser.currentUser()

    var report = PFObject(className:"reports")
    report["name"] = nameTextField.text
    report["DOB"] = DOB
    report["date"] = date
    report["user"] = user
    report.saveInBackground()

    var ojId = report.objectId
    println(ojId)
+3

saveInBackground

is an async method, so it doesn't wait. The reason the id is not set is because the object has not yet been saved.

I think you should use saveInBackgroundWithBlock:

and get the form of an object id in a block (which is executed after the object is saved):

var report = PFObject(className:"reports")
report["name"] = nameTextField.text
report["DOB"] = DOB
report["date"] = date
report["user"] = user
report.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success, error) -> Void in
    if success {
        var ojId = report.objectId
        println(ojId)
    }
}


or perhaps also save

, which runs synchronously, but don't use this from the main thread:

report.save()
var ojId = report.objectId
println(ojId)
+10
