however i need to use a separate thread for other reasons and i have
now placed a call to my nstimer method from inside of my nsobject
performSelectorInBackground selector and it no longer gets called.
i'm just learning about multi-threading and the
performSelectorInBackground method is simple and works for me except
for the call to my nstimer method. i'm sure there's a reason why.
any thoughts?
There is; +scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: schedules the timer in the
thread's run loop. If the thread never runs its run loop, then nothing
happens. You probably want to schedule the timer in the main run loop
instead.
