Activity Starter to Open Android Clock

[Ethan_Emel]

I was wondering if there is a way to open up the android clock application and start a timer using the activity starter. I want the user to be able to set there own timer with the android clock timer and then use that information to start a countdown inside an app inventor app. The user interface of the android timer is easier to use and more aesthetically appealing than one I think I can build out. Any help on specifically what Action, Class, and Packages are necessary would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

to open up the android clock application and start a timer using the activity starter.

we had a discussion about that recently, see here

Clock stops when lockscreen, ActivityStarter workaround with com.android.deskclock

Ok,i made it work!! [workin_sumtimes_blocks] but…it worked only one or two times…i try to explain…i gave 25 seconds,compiled the apk,installed,launch and…tadahhhhhh…timer set to 25 seconds!!.almost fell off my chair!! … but…every time i go back to app,and press b_start again, it doesnt work…call the timer,but ignore ExtraValue. Rebuilt inAI,changin seconds to 30…noway…00 again…then i add the extra_skip…true,false…and after some attempts…it works,but with 25 seconds… im getting mad !!.. .ac…

you might want to continue with the latest suggestion there and if you get stuck, post a screenshot of your relevant blocks...
