Passing Data through NSTimer UserInfo

Question

I am trying to pass data through userInfo for an NSTimer call. What is the best way to do this? I am trying to use an NSDictionary, this is simple enough when I have Objective-C

Answer 1

You may ask for the timer in the method given to the selector,

Then you can grab useInfo from that timer (timer.userInfo):

- (void)settingTimer
{
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:kYourTimeInterval
                                 target:self
                               selector:@selector(timerFired:)
                               userInfo:yourObject
                                repeats:NO];
}

- (void)timerFired:(NSTimer*)theTimer
{
  id yourObject = theTimer.userInfo;
  //your code here
}
