Android Question General question about timer

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,
A timer in an activity should always be terminated in Activity_Pause.

Question: When should a timer started in the Starter-service be terminated?

I guess that you mean disabled, not terminated.

Timers in activities should be process global objects and should be disabled in Activity_Pause.

When should a timer started in the Starter-service be terminated?

If you want it to run all the time then you don't need to disable it at all.

If you want it to run all the time then you don't need to disable it at all.

I'm trying to find why I have a lot of crash in my app.
In my starter service I have the following:

Sub GpsTimer1_Tick
    Dim time As Long = DateTime.Now

    If Not(IsPaused(Main)) Then
        CallSub2(Main, "ShowClocktime", DateTime.time(time))
    End If
   
    If IsCronoRunning Then
                               
        If Not(IsPaused(Main)) Then
            CallSub(Main, "ShowCronoRunning")
        End If
    End If
   
    CallSub2(Main, "ShowAutoStart", time)
End Sub

As I wrote in the other thread, the error is most probably in the called sub itself. You can open the generated Java code under the Objects folder and check which line is 348. This will tell you where it fails. In ShowClockTime or ShowAutoStart.

This will tell you where it fails. In ShowClockTime or ShowAutoStart.

but I do not see what was causing the problem, here is my code:

Public Sub ShowClocktime(Clocktime As String)
    lblClock.Text = Clocktime
End Sub

Public Sub ShowAutoStart(time As Long)
    If pnlAutoStart.Visible Then
        Dim h,m,S As Int
        h = DateTime.GetHour(time)
        m = DateTime.GetMinute(time)
        S = DateTime.GetSecond(time)
        time = (S * DateTime.TicksPerSecond) + (m * DateTime.TicksPerMinute) + (h * DateTime.TicksPerHour)
        lblTime.Text = mBBL.getConvertTickTo_HHmmss(lblTime.Tag - time)

        If Starter.manager.GetBoolean("cbxSpeedBeep") Then
            Dim t As Int = (lblTime.Tag - time) / DateTime.TicksPerSecond
            If t <= 10 And Starter.Autostarttime <> t Then
                Starter.Autostarttime = t
                If t > 0 Then
                    CallSub(Starter, "Start_beep200")
                Else If t = 0 Then
                    CallSub(Starter, "Start_beep500")
                End If
            End If
        End If   

        If (lblTime.Tag - time) <= 0 Then
            btnCancelAutostart_Click
        End If
    End If
End Sub
