1、初始化
+ (NSTimer *)timerWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)ti target:(id)aTarget selector:(SEL)aSelector userInfo:(id)userInfo repeats:(BOOL)yesOrNo;
+ (NSTimer *)scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)ti target:(id)aTarget selector:(SEL)aSelector userInfo:(id)userInfo repeats:(BOOL)yesOrNo;
注：不用scheduled方式初始化的，需要手动addTimer:forMode: 将timer添加到一个runloop中。
而scheduled的初始化方法将以默认mode直接添加到当前的runloop中.
举例：
NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10.0 target:self selector:@selector(timerFired:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
或
NSTimer *myTimer= [NSTimertimerWithTimeInterval:3.0target:selfselector:@selector(timerFired:)userInfo:nilrepeats:NO];
[[NSRunLoopcurrentRunLoop]addTimer:myTimerforMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
2、触发(启动)
当定时器创建完(不用scheduled的，添加到runloop中后，该定时器将在初始化时指定的timeInterval秒后自动触发。
可以使用-(void)fire;方法来立即触发该定时器；
注：You can use this method to fire a repeating timer without interrupting its regular firing schedule. If the timer is non-repeating, it is automatically invalidated after firing, even if its scheduled fire date has not arrived.
在重复执行的定时器中调用此方法后立即触发该定时器，但不会中断其之前的执行计划；
在不重复执行的定时器中调用此方法，立即触发后，就会使这个定时器失效。
3、停止
- (void)invalidate;
这个是唯一一个可以将计时器从runloop中移出的方法。
注：
NSTimer可以精确到50-100毫秒.
NSTimer不是绝对准确的,而且中间耗时或阻塞错过下一个点,那么下一个点就pass过去了.
延时函数和Timer的使用
//延时函数：[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:5.0]； //暂停5s.//Timer的使用：NSTimer *connectionTimer; //timer对象//实例化timerself.connectionTimer=[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.5 target:self selector:@selector(timerFired:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]addTimer:self.connectionTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode]; //用timer作为延时的一种方法do{
[[NSRunLoopcurrentRunLoop]runUntilDate:[NSDatedateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:1.0]];
}while(!done); //timer调用函数-(void)timerFired:(NSTimer *)timer{
done =YES;
}

创建 NSTimer
Scheduled Timers & Using Selector
-
(
IBAction
)
startOneOffTimer:
sender
{
[
NSTimer
scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:
2.0
target:
self
selector:
@selector
(
targetMethod:
)
userInfo:
[
self
userInfo
]
repeats:
NO
];
}
如上，如果没有重复执行的timer相当于
[self performSelector:@selector(targetMethod:) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0];
// declcare
@property
(
assign
)
NSTimer
*
repeatingTimer
;
// implements
-
(
IBAction
)
startRepeatingTimer:
sender
{
NSTimer
*
timer
=
[
NSTimer
scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:
0.5
target:
self
selector:
@selector
(
timerFireMethod:
)
userInfo:
[
self
userInfo
]
repeats:
YES
];
self
.
repeatingTimer
=
timer
;
}
-
(
IBAction
)
stopRepeatingTimer:
sender
{
[
repeatingTimer
invalidate
];
self
.
repeatingTimer
=
nil
;
}
Unscheduled Timers & Using Invocation
// declare
@property (retain) NSTimer *unregisteredTimer;
// implements
- (IBAction)createUnregisteredTimer:sender {
NSMethodSignature *methodSignature = [self methodSignatureForSelector:@selector(invocationMethod:)];
NSInvocation *invocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:methodSignature];
[invocation setTarget:self];
[invocation setSelector:@selector(invocationMethod:)];
NSDate *startDate = [NSDate date];
[invocation setArgument:&startDate atIndex:2];
NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:0.5 invocation:invocation repeats:YES];
self.unregisteredTimer = timer;
}
- (IBAction)startUnregisteredTimer:sender {
if (unregisteredTimer != nil) {
NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
[runLoop addTimer:unregisteredTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
}
}
- (IBAction)stopUnregisteredTimer:sender {
[unregisteredTimer invalidate];
self.unregisteredTimer = nil;
}
