Hi Aalok-

I can think of two possibilities:

1. Keep a reference to the timer you created (say as an ivar of an object). Use the reference to invalidate the timer when desired.

2. Keep a flag variable somewhere to note if the timer should be active (like a BOOL ivar of an object). In the method called by the timer, check the flag and invalidate the timer if needed. The timer is the argument to the called method.

HTH!

Hi All,

I want to start timer to perform some specific task.
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10.0
									 target:self
								   selector:@selector(handleTimerAction:)
								   userInfo:nil
									repeats:YES];
This the function I am using. I want to invalidate this timer on some
user event (like disconnect.) Ånd want to start again when user
connects again.
I do not find any method to invalidate timer. I can not user
-invalidate as it is an instance method. and
scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval is a class method.

Please provide any help possible.

Regards,
Aalok
