Quickblox User online status IOS

Question

I have been using quickblox sdk for IOS and i have one query regarding user's online status.

Below is the code which is recommended.

QBUUser *user = ...;

NSInteger currentTimeInterval = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970];
NSInteger userLastRequestAtTimeInterval   = [[user lastRequestAt] timeIntervalSince1970];

// if user didn't do anything last 1 minute (60 seconds)    
if((currentTimeInterval - userLastRequestAtTimeInterval) > 60)
{ 
 // user is offline now
}

But my query is that do i need to check this in a timer event because every 5-10 seconds i would want to know if user is online or there is any other better approach?

Kudi, the only way to find out the last date of user's request is by using QBUUser lastRequestAt.

Here is my custom function to know user's presence. I set a timer which runs every 10 seconds.

 func update() {
            let currentTimeInterval: Int = Int(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970)
            var userlastrew = Int()

            let rid = UInt(dialog.recipientID)
            var differ = Int()

            QBRequest.userWithID(rid, successBlock: { (response : QBResponse, user: QBUUser?) -> Void in
                userlastrew = Int((user?.lastRequestAt?.timeIntervalSince1970)!)
                differ = currentTimeInterval - userlastrew

                if differ > 120 {
                    let (d,h,m) = self.secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds(differ)
                    var txt = String()
                    if (d <= 0) {
                        if (m > 60 && h > 1 ) {
                            txt = "Last online \(h) hours ago"
                        }
                        if (m >= 60 && h == 1) {
                            txt =  "Last online \(h) hour ago"
                        }
                        if (m < 60 && h < 1) {
                            txt = "Last online \(m) minutes ago"
                        }
                        if (m < 60 && h == 1) {
                            txt = "Last online \(h) hour ago"
                        }
                        if (m < 60 && h > 1) {
                            txt = "Last online \(h) hours ago"
                        }
                    } else {
                        if (d > 1) {
                            txt = "Last online \(d) days ago"
                        } else {
                            txt = "Last online \(d) day ago"
                        }

                    }
                    //user is offline
                } else {
                    //user is online   
                }
                }, errorBlock: {(response: QBResponse) -> Void in
                    // Handle error
            })
        }

func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds : Int) -> (Int, Int, Int) {
        return (seconds / 86400, seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60)
    }
