When I press my interface button, it calls:
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(initializeData)
toTarget:self withObject:nil];
This calls:
- (void) initializeData
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
... initialize data ...
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:DataAreInitializedNotification object:self];
[pool release];
}
The notification 'DataAreInitializedNotification' instantiates and
brings a new view to the foreground, immediately after the data are
initialized.
The new view shows up fine. The problem is that if I instantiate an
NSTimer in this new view, the NSTimer never fires my selector:
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:2.0 target:self
selector:@selector(doSomethingInteresting:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO]
However, if I skip the NSThread instantiation step, then my NSTimer
starts working again.
I have also tried:
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:myNSTimer
forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
in my new view, but this does not work either.
What should I do to get an NSTimer to work after an NSThread completes?
Thanks,
Alex
