Scrolling an UITableView will stop Timer
ios, iphone, objective-c, xcode
Solution
Solution in Swift 3.x:
self.updateTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval:1.0, target: self, selector: "updateFunction", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
RunLoop.current.add(self.updateTimer, forMode: RunLoopMode.commonModes)
Problem
I'm a beginner and I'm trying to write and application for iOS that will show to the user in the main screen a timer from 25 minutes to 0 (made of a `UILabel` whom text is updated every second using an `NSTimer`) and a `UITableView` (embedded in the `UIViewController` of the main screen) that will show a cell for each time the timer as reached the 0. So in the main view controlled by my `UIViewController` I have: - `UILabel`: for the timer - `UITableView`: wich shows a cell for each time the timer as reached 0 - `UIButton`: to start the timer Everything seems to work fine except for the fact that scrolling the `UITableView` will stop the timer from updating the label as long as the user keeps the finger on the tablewView. Can anyone tell me why the label won't change its text while the `UITableView` is being scrolled? P.S. I think that this problem could be related to the fact that I'm not using threads since I've not learned to use them yet.
