iPhone - NSTimer not repeating after fire

Question

I am creating and firing a NSTimer with:

ncTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
                                           target:sel         


        

Answer 1

You can't just assign to the timer that you have put as a property in your header. This should work:

self.ncTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
 target:self selector:@selector(handleTimer:) userInfo:nil repeats: YES];

Also: The fire method fires the timer, out of cycle. If the timer is non repeating it is invalidated. After the line that says fire, add this:

BOOL timerState = [ncTimer isValid];
NSLog(@"Timer Validity is: %@", timerState?@"YES":@"NO");
