Swift 4 Timer Crashes with NSException

问题

I've been searching for a way to use a Timer in Swift 4 and looked at this article. I test out my code in xcode and when the the timer first ticks (in this case after 10 seconds) the app crashes and I get an error, although the build succeeded.

Here is my swift 4 code

import UIKit

class GeneralFitness: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    var timer: Timer! = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 10, target: self, selector: #selector(tick), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

    @objc func tick() {
        print("tick")
    }


}

Let me know if you have any questions.

回答1:

As Andrea said, you should instantiate the timer in viewDidLoad. Also the documentation says:

The selector should have the following signature: timerFireMethod: (including a colon to indicate that the method takes an argument).

And don't forget to disable this timer in, for example, viewDidDisappear. You can't invalidate it in deinit because the repeating timer keeps a strong reference to its target, and your deinit will not get called as long as the timer is running. And if you remove it in viewDidDisappear, you might want to create the timer in viewDidAppear.

Thus, resulting in something like:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    weak var timer: Timer?

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 10, target: self, selector: #selector(tick(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
    }

    override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidDisappear(animated)

        timer?.invalidate()
    }

    @objc func tick(_ timer: Timer) {
        print("tick")
    }

}

Or you can use the block-based rendition, with [weak self] pattern, and the timer won't keep a strong reference to the view controller, in which case you can use deinit:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var timer: Timer?

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 10, repeats: true) { [weak self] timer in  // the `[weak self] reference is only needed if you reference `self` in the closure
            print("tick")
        }
    }

    deinit {
        timer?.invalidate()
    }

}

回答2:

Your timer is initialized in the wrong way because:

If you use a closure to initialize a property, remember that the rest of the instance has not yet been initialized at the point that the closure is executed. This means that you cannot access any other property values from within your closure, even if those properties have default values.

moreover:

You also cannot use the implicit self property, or call any of the instance’s methods (See here)

hence, to fix your problem, you should move such code inside viewDidLoad. So you may try this:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
   weak var timer: Timer?

   override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
      Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 10, repeats: true, block: { [weak self] timer in
         self?.timer = timer
         self?.tick()
      })
   }

   deinit { 
      self.timer?.invalidate() 
   }

   @objc func tick() {
      print("tick")
   }
}

回答3:

Try this in swift 4

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var timer: Timer!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()


        self.timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 10, target: self, selector: #selector(self.updateValue), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
    }

    func updateValue(){

        print("Timer is call")
    }
}
