How to run a sensor-based app in the background? Like I want to run Accelometer in the background to get values?
Hello, @gdeveloper
You can take a look to the post above, which includes pedometer sensor running in the Foreground service and accordingly it’ll send the simple steps event value to the firebase.
You may change the event and the component and try running it.
And a note to everyone:
Do not name the function Id with any upper case letters, If you will be using with the ExtraFunction Id, it will not work because of a bug.
Hello. Last time I successfully received the firebase data and displayed it in the notification. Now I want to fetch data from firebase then save in tinydb. But no data is saved. How to fix it?
The notification (data:data) is always " "
Thankyou
Hi,
I’ve found the following mistakes in you’re blocks.
- You have named the initialize function Name
initializewhich should beInitializeinstead. - You’re registering the event late so it might not be triggered at first.
Also you’re blocks looks messy, what are you actually trying to achive?
@Xoma Im trying to save firebase data on tinyDB every data changed. Then show notification from tinyDB every hour.
Did you solve this?
Yeah, and the problem still exist
I will check it… later…

I think the problem is in create variable function or get value function (tinydb). its need to restarted to get latest result.
After restart the app
Hello,
I’ve prepared this demo file that will store the firebase changed value into a tiny DB. After the clock interval is raised (I’ve tested with 30 seconds interval) It will get the value from the tiny Db and it will show it in notification (notification-style) extension.
But as you told me that it should show every 1 hour, but if the system kills the service if there is no user interaction with the app.
Next updates include a feature, that can say the system if the services should try to start again after killed by the system. And will include a simple way to handle invoke values or the return values of the blocks like (tiny DB get value).
Below, I’ve attached the project file, do get confused 
the blocks are large.
You should change the firebase token, API key and the interval through variables.
NotificationTinyDB.aia (468.5 KB)
Note that tiny DB will only store the latest value.
Also, next time, try to do it you’re self , If everyone ask me, I cannot reply quickly or I’ll get time.

Is there any chance you will update these symbols (<,<=, >, >=, !=) to compare numbers?

Actually it’s the correct/efficient way to do things.
The current way also allows you to do more things rather than just comparing values.
Like you can compare the Java statements and the event value
System.currentTimeMillis() > Integer.parseInt({$0}) :: function(some-id)
As the example above you can do more things than only comparing with constant values.
Here we check the time accordingly and call the value.

Background Tasks 3.2 A
As time passes… The extension gets better and better 
So here is another update for it!
There is a total of 3 new blocks, 3 bug fixes and 3 changes!
(Click on the image to expand it.)
-
New blocks
- Clears the task list (the functions/create components) or resets them.
- Returns the list of currently running or pending service IDs list.
- When the service is killed, this property block will be to indicate if the service needs to start again. The restart time depends on the System.
- Clears the task list (the functions/create components) or resets them.
-
Fixed issues
-
Fixed an issue where if you had entered any function that has Caps in it, the function would be failed to call.
-
Fixed an issue where the service would stop after some time after the app’s screen goes off.
-
Now the service will run/start even if the phone is booted or restarted.
-
-
Internal/Blocks changes
-
Finish task block updated with the boolean value to indicate if the service should start again.
-
A new way to call functions and return their invoke or the return values directly. This can be used through the MakeExtra block as (invoke:[FUNCTION_ID])
-
Now the extension does a quick validation of tasks to prevent empty tasks from being sent to the service.
