How to init NSTimer with declared previously variable? Neither var nor let helps.

The initial value of a property (in your case: timer
) cannot depend on another property of the class (in your case: interval
).
Therefore you have to move the assigment timer = NSTimer(interval, ...)
into a method of the
class, e.g. into viewDidLoad
. As a consequence, timer
has to be defined as an
optional or implicitly unwrapped optional.
Note also that Selector(...)
takes a literal string as argument, not the method itself.
So this should work:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var interval : NSTimeInterval = 1.0
var timer : NSTimer!
func timerRedraw() {
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
timer = NSTimer(timeInterval: interval, target: self, selector: Selector(\"timerRedraw\"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
// ...
}
// Other methods ...
}
Try:
var interval:NSTimeInterval = 1.0
var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(interval, target: self, selector: \"timerRedraw:\", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
pro-tip and hopefully an appreciated FYI: Swift functions should also start with lower case letters (i.e. \"timerRedraw
\").
