I hope this message finds you well! I am seeking your help to create a Live countdown for an important event, such as my birthday, which is scheduled for February 7th at 13:00.
I would like the countdown to:
Be Live and visible to all users of the application in real time.
Count down the hours and minutes, not just the days, to ensure precise tracking until the event occurs.
Remain active and continue functioning even if the application is temporarily closed.
If anyone has the technical expertise or suggestions on how this can be implemented (whether through tools or code), I would greatly appreciate your input and guidance.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing your ideas and solutions!
Use a clock timer.
You could either use iToo extension to setup a background service to maintain the clock output, or each device could simply store the time in the tinydb on app exit, and/or update it on app entry.
The idea of using the clock timer and the iToo extension is very interesting, but I must admit I don’t fully understand how to implement it. Would it be possible for you to create a simple example or provide step-by-step guidance?
If it’s not too much trouble, could you also share the example as a .aia file? That would really help me understand and move forward more effectively.
This is a modification of ABG's example. It may do what you want Dimitris.
ChristmasDay.aia (3.8 KB)
Load the ChristmasDay Project
Use the lower button to count down to Christmas at 7 AM. Ignore the Deadline button. It is used to count down to a specific other event.
Is this what you want?
or this might be what you want using the example I posted @dimitris.strat
