How can I delay a method call for 1 second?

Question

Is there an easy way to achieve that?

I have an UIImageView that reacts on a touch event. When the touch is detected, some animations happen in the App. After one second I want to call another method. In this case, I can't use the animationDidStop selector.

Answer 1

There are certainly several ways to do that, one of them might be to simply use sleep() to suspend the program/thread for a number of milliseconds, however I think you might want to tell us what exactly you're trying to accomplish by doing that? I mean, what is your actual problem? The idea of delaying a method call seems like a 'solution' to be, one that doesn't sound too good to be honest.

So, just tell us more about the scenario you have in mind.

Answer 2

Make a call to sleep/wait/halt for 1000 ms just before calling your method?

---

Sleep(1000); // does nothing the next 1000 mSek

Methodcall(params); // now do the real thing

Answer 3

performSelector:withObject:afterDelay
