Questions tagged [nsnotificationcenter]

NSNotificationCenter allows to send and register for notifications in the Foundation framework, which is provided by Apple.

An NSNotificationCenter object (or simply, notification center) provides a mechanism for broadcasting information within a program. An NSNotificationCenter object is essentially a notification dispatch table. Notifications are differentiated according to their name and contain an object (the sender) as well as any specific data.

Objects register with a notification center to receive notifications (NSNotification objects) using the addObserver:selector:name:object: or addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock: methods. Each invocation of this method specifies a set of notifications. Therefore, objects may register as observers of different notification sets by calling these methods several times.

You can also post notifications with postNotification:, or create and post notifications with postNotificationName:object: and postNotificationName:object:userInfo:, where you may use custom names for your notifications.
