Question

I am trying to have a block of code run 2 seconds after I ‘start’ it.

I think the NSTimer can do this but can’t figure it out.

Answer 1

The following will do what you need:

 NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 2 
                                   target:self 
                                   selector:@selector(handleTimer:) 
                                   userInfo:nil
                                   repeats:NO];

Then the delegate function:

-(void)handleTimer: (NSTimer *) timer 
{       
   //code
}
