You’d think that would be easy but it doesn’t seem that way. To make sure I
understand, you have callbacks on your NSOperationQueue from which you want to
then delay an operation on that same queue using NSTimer? I would probably
dispatch_after() back to the main queue, or a high- or low- priority, a block
which then re-enqueued the operation you wanted to perform back on the same
operations queue you started with.
ie if you have the operation you want to delay then mail-written code would
look something like
NSOperationQueue *myQueue = [ NSOperationQueue currentQueue ]; // if
you don’t already know what op queue you’re on
dispatch_after( dispatch_time( DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, delay * NSEC_PER_SEC ) ),
dispatch_get_<some>_queue() ){
[ myQueue addOperation:myOperation ];
};
I think that ought to work.
