B4i Library CADisplayLink - A Timer that ticks on each display refresh

Hi,

Please find attached a wrapper for iOS native CADisplayLink.

CADisplayLink is much better Timer for animations as it ticks on each display refresh rate.
(http://www.bigspaceship.com/ios-animation-intervals/)

I have added a function to add an Interval for each tick but if you don't need it just set Interval=0 and it will tick on each screen refresh rate.

see attached an example.

does making tmr.enabled=false also crashes at your example ? if i set to enable true there is no problem but if i set to false the app keeps on crashing on startup.

It is set to false by default.

Set enabled=True to start it. After you can set enabled=false

Hi, Narek

I saw some interesting wrappers for B4i from you. Could you take a look to create wrapper for XlsxReaderWriter ? This is an Objective-C library for iPhone / iPad and Mac. It parses and writes MS Excel XLSX files.

Dear Narek,

I am successfuly using this in 2 of my apps. In a new app, I use the same codes but i am keep getting a log says : Subs not found: b4i_cadisplaylink
and i cant slide anything. Am i forgetting stg . You have an idea ?

edit: In realease mode , it works fine so i suppose it is a problem with a debug mode

I used your codes in my app but ı get an error; Unknown type: cadisplaylink Are you missing a library reference?

What can be the problem?

 

[narek adonts]

Did you added the class?

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

No I didn't add. What should I do?

 

[narek adonts]

there is a class attached in the first post

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

Here?
CADisplayLink\Objects\shell\bin\classes\com\adonts\ca\b4i_cadisplaylink.class

 

[narek adonts]

did you downloaded the Exemple project in the 1st post?

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

Yes. I downloaded and run. Class is this?

I ran your example code ( Interval time set at 1000) and expected to get a 1 second timer. However the result was slightly shorter than 1 sec. I used it to increment a number counter (on a label) I was expecting it to count at once per second rate but it runs a little bit fast. I was wondering Why this value (1000) doesn't give me an accurate 1 second timer. I found that setting the interval value at 1017 (1.7% longer) works very well.
I also noticed that if the timer enabled = false and is set again to false your app will crash. Setting enabled to true more than once will not cause a crash.
