iPhone - NSTimer not repeating after fire

Question

I am creating and firing a NSTimer with:

ncTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
                                           target:sel         


        

Answer 1

Assigning to ncTimer as you have will not initiate the properties retain functionality.

Assuming the declaration is within the member object you will need to do:

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