Objective C Timer

🕑 1 minute read

This is a simple timer, you may need to declare some variables in the .h file.

-(void)onViewDidLoad { //set on start up NSDate *startTime = [NSDate date]; } 
-(void)someOtherFunction { //amount to dely by (seconds) NSInteger *delayAmount = 1; 

//work out the current delay time 
NSTimeInterval elapsedTime = [startTime timeIntervalSinceNow]; 

//if the delay is bigger than the specified amount then... 
if (elapsedTime >= delayAmount) { 
    //Do the stuff to do when the delay time has passed 
    NSDate *startTime = [NSDate date]; 
}
