GCDTimer

Timer which use GCD to implementation. It is an elegant way to use GCD to implement a Timer, more easier, we could't care about the NSTimer's usage in different thread.

Usage

• import GCDTimer.h GCDTimer.m file to your project.
• import GCDTimer.h to the file which you wants to use, and invoke like this.

    _timer =  [GCDTimer scheduleTimerWithInterval:1 repeats:YES isMainQueue:NO block:^{
        NSLog(@"testViewController globalQueue executed");
    }];

NOTE: when repeats = YES, you must invoke the method - (void)invalidate; to release the GCDTimer instance.

API

/**
 create a GCDTimer instance, Selector version

 @param interval 
 @param repeats  Whether repeat
 @param isMainQueue Whether execute the block on the main queue
 @param target The target to perform the selector
 @param selector The selector will to excute
 @return GCDTimer instance
 NOTE: when repeats = YES, you must invoke the method `- (void)invalidate;` to release the GCDTimer instance.
