How can I automatically back off when the timer ends?

Question

I want automatic shutdown when timer ends.

I have a timer built here:

class Timer{
var timer = NSTimer();
// the callback to be invoked everytime the timer 'ticks'
var handler: (Int) -> ();
//the total duration in seconds for which the timer should run to be set by the caller
let duration: Int;
//the amount of time in seconds elapsed so far
var elapsedTime: Int = 0;
var targetController = WaitingRoomController.self


/**
:param: an integer duration specifying the total time in seconds for which the timer should run repeatedly
:param: handler is reference to a function that takes an Integer argument representing the elapsed time allowing the implementor to process elapsed time and returns void
*/
init(duration: Int , handler : (Int) -> ()){
    self.duration = duration;
    self.handler = handler;
}

/**
Schedule the Timer to run every 1 second and invoke a callback method specified by 'selector' in repeating mode
*/
func start(){
    self.timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1, target: self, selector: "onTick", userInfo: nil, repeats: true);
}

/**
invalidate the timer
*/
func stop(){
    println("timer was invaidated from stop()")
    timer.invalidate();
}


/**
Called everytime the timer 'ticks'. Keep track of the total time elapsed and trigger the handler to notify the implementors of the current 'tick'. If the amount of time elapsed is the same as the total duration for the timer was intended to run, stop the timer.
*/


@objc func onTick() {
    //println("onTick")
    //increment the elapsed time by 1 second
    self.elapsedTime++;
    //Notify the implementors of the updated value of elapsed time
    self.handler(elapsedTime);
    //If the amount of elapsed time in seconds is same as the total time in seconds for which this timer was intended to run, stop the timer
    if self.elapsedTime == self.duration {
        self.stop();

    }
}
deinit{
    println("timer was invalidated from deinit()")
    self.timer.invalidate();
}

}

This is the view controller I want to execute, and how the timer starts:

class WaitingRoomController: UIViewController {

    private func handleSetAction(someTime: String){
       countDownLabel.text = setTime;
       let duration = Utils.getTotalDurationInSeconds(someTime);
       timer = Timer(duration: duration ){
          (elapsedTime: Int) -> () in
             println("handler called")
            let difference = duration - elapsedTime;
            self.countDownLabel.text = Utils.getDurationInMinutesAndSeconds(difference)
       }
       timer.start();
    }
}

I know the auto segue code:

func doSegue(){
    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("asdf", sender: self)
}

but I don’t know how to connect the timer and this function together.

You need to use locks to achieve what you want, look at my class Timer.

import UIKit

class Timer: NSObject {

    var counter: Int = 0
    var timer: NSTimer! = NSTimer()

    var timerEndedCallback: (() -> Void)!
    var timerInProgressCallback: ((elapsedTime: Int) -> Void)!

    func startTimer(duration: Int, timerEnded: () -> Void, timerInProgress: ((elapsedTime: Int) -> Void)!) {

       if !(self.timer?.valid != nil) {
           let aSelector : Selector = "updateTime:"

           timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1, target: self, selector: aSelector, userInfo: duration, repeats: true)

           timerEndedCallback = timerEnded
           timerInProgressCallback = timerInProgress
           counter = 0
       }
    }

    func updateTime(timer: NSTimer) {

       ++self.counter
       let duration = timer.userInfo as! Int

       if (self.counter != duration) {
          timerInProgressCallback(elapsedTime: self.counter)
       } else {
          timer.invalidate()
          timerEndedCallback()
       }
    }
}

And then you can call the class Timeras follows:

var timer = Timer()

timer.startTimer(5, timerEnded: { () -> Void in
        // Here you call anything you want when the timer finish.
        println("Finished")

        }, timerInProgress: { (elapsedTime) -> Void in
            println("\(Int(elapsedTime))")
})

, , , duration updateTime, userInfo Timer.

change ': "On Tick" ' to 'selector: @selctor (doSegue)'. NSTimer
