Swift 3

//创建定时器的示例代码

Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: (#selector(updateTimer)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

WHERE
timeInterval:- Interval in which timer should fire like 1s, 10s, 100s etc. [Its value is in secs]
target:- function which pointed to class. So here I am pointing to current class.
selector:- function that will execute when timer fires.

func updateTimer(){
    //Implemetation 
} 

repeats:- true/false specifies that timer should call again n again.

斯威夫特4.1 与样本的轻拍手势

let gestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer()
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)
gestureRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.dismiss(completion:)))

// Use destination 'Class Name' directly, if you selector (function) is not in same class.
//gestureRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(DestinationClass.dismiss(completion:)))


@objc func dismiss(completion: (() -> Void)?) {
      self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: completion)
}

有关选择器表达式的更多细节，请参阅Apple的文档

如果你想从NSTimer中传递一个参数给函数，那么这里是你的解决方案:

var somethingToPass = "It worked"

let timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.01, target: self, selector: "tester:", userInfo: somethingToPass, repeats: false)

func tester(timer: NSTimer)
{
    let theStringToPrint = timer.userInfo as String
    println(theStringToPrint)
}

在选择器文本(tester:)中包含冒号，参数则放在userInfo中。

你的函数应该以NSTimer作为参数。然后提取userInfo以获得传递的参数。

使用#selector将在编译时检查代码，以确保要调用的方法确实存在。更好的是，如果方法不存在，你会得到一个编译错误:Xcode将拒绝构建你的应用，从而消除另一个可能的错误来源。

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem =
            UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .Add, target: self,
                            action: #selector(addNewFireflyRefernce))
    }

    func addNewFireflyReference() {
        gratuitousReferences.append("Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!")
    }

// for swift 2.2
// version 1
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.tappedButton), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.tappedButton2(_:)), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)

// version 2
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.tappedButton), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.tappedButton2(_:)), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)

// version 3
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tappedButton), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
buttton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tappedButton2(_:)), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)

func tappedButton() {
  print("tapped")
}

func tappedButton2(sender: UIButton) {
  print("tapped 2")
}

// swift 3.x
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tappedButton(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)

func tappedButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
  // tapped
}

button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tappedButton(_:_:)), for: .touchUpInside)

func tappedButton(_ sender: UIButton, _ event: UIEvent) {
  // tapped
}

正如许多人所说，选择器是一种动态调用方法的objective - c方式，已经被带到了Swift中，在某些情况下我们仍然坚持使用它，比如UIKit，可能是因为他们在SwiftUI上工作来取代它，但一些api有更Swift的版本，比如Swift Timer，例如你可以使用

class func scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval interval: TimeInterval, 
                                            repeats: Bool, 
                                              block: @escaping (Timer) -> Void) -> Timer

相反，你可以这样称呼它

Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1, 
                              repeats: true ) {
    ... your test code here
}

or

Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1, 
                              repeats: true,
                              block: test)

方法test需要一个Timer参数，或者如果你想test需要一个命名参数

Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1, 
                              repeats: true,
                              block: test(timer:))

你也应该使用Timer而不是NSTimer因为NSTimer是objective-c的旧名字
