Are you actually creating the class in question? Maybe it isn't getting
constructed and so neither is the timer? BTW: I would highly recommend
only creating Timers in the Application.java file. I've created NSTimers
in basically the same way you are here and they just worked. But I
created them in my Application constructor. One tip: when creating the
NSSelector use the class of the target object:
Class[] classes = {this.getClass()};
NSSelector aSel = new NSSelector("secondElapsed", classes);
Another tip: when passing a run loop run mode, use the Class variables
like this instead of from the instance:
NSRunLoop.DefaultRunLoopMode
like
theLoop.addTimerForMode(theTimer, NSRunLoop.DefaultRunLoopMode);
