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

To do it with the method the OP suggests, you need to add it to a run loop:

myTimer = NSTimer(timeInterval: 5.0, target: self, selector:"timerFunc", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop().addTimer(myTimer, forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode)

The documentation also says that the target should take an argument, but it works without it.

func timerFireMethod(timer: NSTimer) { }
