I would like to enable functionality at a specified time. For instance enable a button at 12:00 PM. Is there a way to do that??

but my question is, if a user open app at 10:51:00 AM then? he will not get that button enable, user must open app at 10:50:00 am or before that and then wait for that time and stay on screen,

That is a good question. I can check the time when the user opens the app against the set time. If the time is later I can set the button to visible. The app will be used at an event so there will be a posted time when “voting” will occur.

users also could set the date and time of the device manually…
in case you want to consider this, then take the date and time from the internet…
