B4J Question How do you verify a Timer in a non-ui

[giga]

Maybe a simple answer but, How do you verify a Timer is firing when using it in a non-ui application?
Does the log reflect the count?

Thank you,

Timer doesn't depend on javafx and you can log and it will show on the terminal.

Just be careful to call startmessageloop before the app shutdown itself.

Dim clock as timer 

Public sub app_start(args() as string)
Clock.initialize ("clock",1000) 
Clock.enabled = true 
StartMessageLoop
End sub      

Private sub clock_tick 
Log("tick')
End sub

Thanks, EnriqueGonzalez as always. I wrote my question wrong. What you gave me works but what I am after is the numeric count 1,2,3,4,5...
I guess I need to use counter with the clock or timer to format it?

You need to increment a value like you wish. A count is not part of the Timer function.

Create a global integer value, set it to 0 in app_start and increment it in the timer_tick. Check the value whenever you need to know the actual counter...
