[Discontinued] Background Tasks [4.1] 🥳

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 :wink:

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I suggest you go through the first full post.
Are you using ResolveActiviy block? If your phone has auto-start permission, turn that on.


Since version 3.0, there is not much changed in the extension except new blocks, and few changes.

It is kind of directly asking for blocks. I have posted enough examples which you can check out. There are examples for working with clock, firebase, Tiny DB, web and others like the player, pedometer, working with conditions and other complex examples.
