[Discontinued] Background Tasks [4.1] 🥳

[Sander_Vieira_Nascimento]

i am trying to create a vibrating app, i need the phone to vibrate in the background with the screen locked.
the vibration has to be controlled by another cell phone.
For example: I want the cell phone to vibrate 3 times and stop and then vibrate 5 more times and stop, this command coming from another cell phone.
the play store Vibrava - Vibrator & Vibrator Tool app “https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jgdevlabs.vibra&hl=pt_BR&gl=US” does look like what I want.

can you teach me to vibrate in the background? how much do you charge to help me?

Not preparing list, adding item to the list. We can use get value to get the list from tiny db. Can we use interpret code to add item to the list?

It’s like this, vibrating a phone with 5 seconds delay.

The extension doesn’t deal with such operations, you can get items from the list however

Thanks, I managed to do it perfectly.
Congratulations on the tool, it is excellent!

One last question: is it possible to leave the app’s Screen with all the functions inside it fully working in the foreground and background?
Without having to do function by function to work in the background, just placing the main Screen complete with everything inside the app, not having to keep the app’s screen open to perform functions that would run if the app was open.

Directly working with the blocks is not possible.
These things should be done through the commands/blocks themselves.

I am planning to make a new type of system that would make it easier.

Version 3.3 A

This version is just bug fixes and improvements

• Fixed bug where compare objects in ExtraFunction which had special characters that need to be escaped but were not and it failed with an Exception in the log cat.

• Changes to the way of accessing the event values with the ExtraFunction block.

  

  Now the event values should be accessed as val<parameter_index> in the codes element. Everything is just the same.

• Improvement is done internally i.e optimizing the code, less code.

Fun fact: This version of the extension decreased size by over 2 KB

@Xoma

Extension version → 3.2 A

Why don’t you update it here also?

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

This is not working for me.

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

You are not starting the service.

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

How to start it?

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

It’s like this.

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

Where to this block, Is this block uses internet?

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

The block is in the extension.
You can set the required network type, see the first post for more info.

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

What is latency? @Xoma

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

The version of the new 3.3 update not update in the description.

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

Yeah, I was having trouble compiling the extension where I just mistakenly deleted this version’s files , checking for commit history in extension’s private repo to get back and forgot to change

Define the number of ms late the extension will start the service.

How to work with this Event of clock component?

After registering event how to run function in that event, like i wanted to repeat my function in background after some seconds until and unless i click on stop task button.

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

There are just many examples, why don’t you look into that? Also be aware of new changes to ExtraFunction block.

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

App is not activated in background after clearing by recent tabs,

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

Give some examples of new changes with blocks
if the developer won’t share any information about their work, how was the user learn from the any other user’s post.
