NSTimer with error message?

Question

I am trying to implement a NSTimer counting down from 5 seconds. But I am getting the message "No known class method for selector scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:target:selector:userInfo:repeats....." What am I missing? If you look at the bottom of MTPopupWindow.m in method -void(showInView) you will find the code where the error emerges.

Regards

MTPopupWindow.h

@class MTPopupWindow;

@protocol MTPopupWindowDelegate <NSObject>
@optional

- (void) didShowMTPopupWindow:(MTPopupWindow*)sender;
- (void) willCloseMTPopupWindow:(MTPopupWindow*)sender;
- (void) didCloseMTPopupWindow:(MTPopupWindow*)sender;
@end

@interface MTPopupWindow : UIView

<---No class method for selector scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:target:selector....

}

-(void)timerFireMethod:(NSTimer *)theTimer{

NSLog(@"bla bla time is out");
MTPopupWindowCloseButton* btnClose = [MTPopupWindowCloseButton buttonInView:self];
[btnClose addTarget:self action:@selector(closePopupWindow) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

}

Answer 1

You misspelled 'target' as 'taget' in your method call. Do:

self.timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5 target:self selector:@selector(timerFireMethod:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];

Instead.

Answer 2

The method in .h file is: - (void)timerFireMethod; But at the selector is: timerFireMethod: With ":" at the end but there is no parameter, that is the reason.

Your definition between h file and m file is not consistence. Please correct the timerFireMethod method.
