How to stop NStimer event? [duplicate]
@interface NSTimer *autoTimer;@implementation// Start timer autoTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(3.0) target:self selector:@selector(autoTimerFired:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];// Stop timer: [autoTimer invalidate]; autoTimer = nil;
First, you want to keep a pointer to the timer
self.packetTimer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:CONNECTION_TIMEOUT target:self selector:@selector(connectionTimeout:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:packetTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];If somewhere else in your code you want to cancel it, just call:
[self.packetTimer invalidate];self.packetTimer = nil;
