Custom UITableViewCell running another classes delegate methods - ios

Question

I currently have a custom timer class and a custom UITableviewCell, the timer has a set of delegate methods that fire based on the timer state, the custom cell has an instance of this timer class as a property and has the delegate methods set in the M file, however i notice they are not firing when the cell is assigned a timer and the timer is started.. my code is as follows:
TABLEVIEW CELL H
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "TimerClass.h"
#interface AeroPressCell : UITableViewCell <timerDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *centerLabel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *rightLabel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *bottomLabel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *cellImage;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet TimerClass *timer;
TABLEVIEW CELL M
#import "AeroPressCell.h"
#implementation AeroPressCell
#synthesize cellImage;
#synthesize centerLabel;
#synthesize bottomLabel;
#synthesize rightLabel;
#synthesize timer;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
}
return self;
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
#pragma mark Timer Delegate
#pragma mark -
- (void)timerStarted{
NSLog(#"STARTED");
}
- (void)timerTick{
}
- (void)timerPaused{
NSLog(#"PAUSED");
}
- (void)timerResumed{
}
- (void)timerFinished{
NSLog(#"FINISHED");
}
#end
I know that these delegate methods work as i have tested by using an instance of this timer class in a viewcontroller and it's firing, is this not possible with a uitable view cell? Currently the timers are counting down in each cell but the delegate methods do not fire, any idea whats happening?

In your AeroPressCell code, you haven't set the delegate of the timer class to the cell's instance. Try setting the timer's delegate like so - self.timer.delegate = self.
