Delay timer after first fire

Question

I have a timer in my application that triggers a certain event:

myTimer =  NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(10, target: self,
    selector: \"searchFor         


        

Answer 1

First schedule the timer as you've done.

timer =  NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(
    10.0, target: self,
    selector: "searchForDrivers:",
    userInfo: nil,
    repeats: true
)

Then, immediately afterwards, fire timer.

timer.fire()

According to the documentation,

You can use this method to fire a repeating timer without interrupting its regular firing schedule. If the timer is non-repeating, it is automatically invalidated after firing, even if its scheduled fire date has not arrived.

See the NSTimer Class Reference for more information.
