how to call a method of multiple arguments with delay

Question

I\'m trying to call a method after some delay.

I know there is a solution for that:

[self performSelector:@selector(myMethod) withObject:nil afterDel         


        

Answer 1

Other ideas:

1) You could use NSInvocations:

+ (NSInvocation *)invocationWithMethodSignature:(NSMethodSignature *)signature
(>> see Eldar Markov's answer)

Documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSInvocation_Class/Reference/Reference.html

2) You could use a helper method..

[self performSelector:@selector(helperMethod) withObject:nil afterDelay:delay];

- (void) helperMethod
{
    // of course x1 and x2 have to be safed somewhere else
    [object moveSomethigFrom: x1 to: x2];
}

3) You could use an array or a dictionary as parameter..

NSArray* array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: x1, x2, nil];
[self performSelector:@selector(handleArray:) withObject:array afterDelay:delay];

- (void) handleArray: (NSArray*) array
{
    [object moveSomethigFrom: [array objectAtIndex: 0] to: [array objectAtIndex: 1]];
}
