    <p>I have an NSTimer in another function but I want to be able to wait for the NSTimer to become invalidated before continuing on with the code is there a way to do this?</p> <pre><code> - (IBAction)addLifePoints:(UIButton *)sender { [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator] setLifePointDelta:[NSNumber numberWithInt: [self.hiddenTextField.text intValue]]]; [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator] setAddOrSubstract: YES]; [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator] applyingDeltaToLifePointsByDelta]; // This will animate the life points animationTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:.01 target:self selector:@selector(animateLifePoints) userInfo:nil repeats:YES]; // This is where we bring it back to the view controller self.duelistOneLifePoints.text = [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator].duelistOneLifePoints stringValue]; self.duelistTwoLifePoints.text = [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator].duelistTwoLifePoints stringValue]; self.hiddenTextField.text = @""; [self syncTextField: self.hiddenTextField]; [self.hiddenTextField resignFirstResponder]; } - (void) animateLifePoints { NSNumber *sections = [[ARCHDuelCalculator sharedARCHDuelCalculator] getLifePointSections]; for(int timer = 0; timer &lt; 100; ++timer) { self.duelistOneLifePoints.text = [[[ARCHUtilities sharedARCHUtilities] subtractTwoNSNumbersByDataType:@"int" firstNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt: [self.duelistOneLifePoints.text intValue]] secondNumber:sections] stringValue]; if ((timer % 14) == 0) { [self playLifePointSound:@"mainLifePointSound" typeOfFile:@"mp3"]; } } [animationTimer invalidate]; } </code></pre>

    1. COYou have to have the code that invalidates the timer initiate another action.

    3. COI'm confused by the code: you create a repeating timer, let it fire exactly once, then immediately cancel it. Is that accurate? If so, why explicitly create a timer at all? Even if you want to, why create a repeating timer if you don't want it to repeat?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
