Question

I am new to iPhone programming so am hoping someone can help me out here. I have searched the web, but can only find information on count down timers.

What I am looking to do is start a count up timer when a button is pressed and then stop it when a certain value drops by, say 5, and finally display that time. I can display values on screen once I have them, but getting the time in the first place is proving difficult for me.

I apologize if this is a simple question, but I look forward to reading your responses.

Thanks in advance,
stu

Answer 1

NSDate will provide the current date. You can use - (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceNow
to get the time since the first call and now.
