Hi,
I need to fire the thread repeatedly in regular time intervals. So I used
the timer like:
timer = [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(double) [txtTimeinterval
doubleValue] target:self selector:@selector(myThread:) userInfo:nil
repeats:YES]retain];

It is working but, the thread is fired only after the the time interval I had given. But actually I need to begin the thread in 0Sec and then keep the
regular time interval. For that I used the code :
NSDate* theDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:0];
    [[timer initWithFireDate:theDate interval:(double)[txtTimeinterval
doubleValue] target:self selector:@selector(myThread:) userInfo:nil
repeats:YES]retain];

But it is not firing the thread.
Where I got wrong?

at least the following:

1) you appear to be misusing the initializer; you should have timer = [[NSTimer alloc] initWithFireDate...];

2) you should be using theDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]

3) you haven't added the timer to a runloop, so it's never scheduled, and will never fire
