Wish Threading library

[Deleted member 103]

Hi Erel,

I absolutely need the threading library for my app CMM-Pro.
With a timer it not work good, the timer not running smoothly.

It would be great if you could find the time for it.
All my app use this library.

What is your app doing with the background thread?

Hi Erel,

In my app must the hundredths of seconds to be displayed without a stumble.
It is also important that the beep is output precisely to the hundredth of a second.

I do not need background thread but a multi-threaded or parallel thread.
At best, the same as the threading library of B4a.

You cannot access any UI elements from a secondary thread.

MediaPlayer already uses a secondary thread for the playback.

These are all very bad news.
If so then I can stop with the IOS programming.

They are all investments for B4i + IOS had been completely unnecessary.

From this page will explain how this works.

You cannot access UI elements from secondary threads. This is not related to B4i.

This is also true for Android.

Erel, I do not understand.
Here below explains how it works, right?

 

[Erel]

InvokeOnMainThread sends a message to the message queue which is later processed by the main thread and then the main thread runs the code.

B4i uses similar techniques in many cases inside the libraries.

If only the timer is available in B4i, what can I do so that the display runs smoother?

 

[Erel]

You need to describe what you are trying to implement. Better yet, post a small example that demonstrates it.

Can I send you my project to your email?

 

[Erel]

Yes. Though it is better to create a small project that demonstrates the issue.

Probably when I create a small project, then the timer does not have any problems. My project is very big and bulky and then it makes no sense. I had also tried using Android in the beginning with a timer and had exactly the same problems. Only with the threading library I could fix the problem.
