How would i implement a 10s time picker so a user can select how long they wish to let another user view the message?

so i would have a time picker where i could select anywhere between 1 and 10 seconds for a user to view my message.

I think you might be able to do that by creating an array that is connected to a slider for example then depending on were the slider is you can select a number from the array, then plug that number into the timer duration. I haven't done this before so I don't know if it will work.

I don't remember which video you would want, I also don't know if code from iOS 5 will work for you.
