How to stop NSTimer

Use the below code. It will work
But keep in mind that it must only be called if our timer is in running mode else the application will get crashed.

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    //BEFORE DOING SO CHECK THAT TIMER MUST NOT BE ALREADY INVALIDATED
    //Always nil your timer after invalidating so that 
    //it does not cause crash due to duplicate invalidate
       if(timer)
       {
         [timer invalidate];
         timer = nil;
       }
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
