Using an NSTimer in Swift

Question

In this scenario, timerFunc() is never called. What am I missing?

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    var myTimer: NSTimer? = nil

             


        

Answer 1

Since this thread made me try to put the timer on a RunLoop myself (which solved my problem), I post my specific case as well - who knows maybe it helps somebody. My timer is created during app start up and initialisation of all the objects. My problem was that, while it did schedule the timer, it still never fired. My guess is, this was the case because scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval was putting the timer on a different RunLoop during startup of the App. If I just initialise the timer and then use NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop().addTimer(myTimer, forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode) instead, it works fine.
