B4J Question Procedure scheduling

[luke2012]

Hi to all,
I need to schedule a procedure that updates some SQLite fields daily on server.
How to do this with B4J ?

You will need to create a process that runs on all the time. You can use a timer with a large interval to do the schedule task.

Another option is to use the computer task scheduler to schedule your app to run every day.

my advice, as I needed to do something similar, (in my case a backup) is to create a little app with no UI and use the task scheduler. It does the job without bothering the user.

So assuming to adopt the timer approach, I have to program a timer in the app startup that run a process like a B4J class ?

Nothing special. Just a timer that ticks every hour. Make sure to call StartMessageLoop is you are implementing it as a non-UI app.
