Taifun
Can you please post high-resolution blocks? Or atleast a clear portion of the blocks involved.
Did you know you could just right click on the block and save it as an image?
i did
really, and you got a white background ?
Are you serious?
A monster procedure?
Start simple, get it running, then add more logic
For example have 3 phone numbers in a list
Create a background process using the Clock.Timer event, use a timer interval of 10 seconds and send a sms to the next number on each timer event
Taifun
the issue is that while the app is foreground it sends. Its when its in the background it doesnt. It waits till its foreground again.
Start from this example
and get it running in the background
Taifun
Taking another look at your monster procedure...
Remember, there does not exist any user interface in the background... no labels, no textboxes etc
Taifun
no clue
And not interested to start from a simple working example? How do I make a delay interval per text on my bulk SMS app? - #7 by TIMAI2
Here is an example which does something in the background every 5 seconds Open Source • Background Tasks: Itoo 🚀 - #1297 by Kumaraswamy
Now combine those 2 examples to send sms in the background
Taifun
Here is a working example for you
each 10 seconds the test app sends a sms in the background to another phone number until the phone number list is empty
Adding Notifier.LogInfo blocks help to debug the app using logcat, see also Capturing Device Logs using adb logcat

i dont see anything that makes this operate in the background
Do try it out first.
Probably because up to now you did not really understand how background processing works?
Can you see procedure Clock1_Timer? This is an event handler for the Timer event of the clock component which will be called from itoo in the background
Taifun
think i give up on this. find another language
???
You got a working example project.
Just add a few test phone numbers, build the project, install it and start testing.
What about providing some feedback?
And after seeing it working, then add more logic step by step
Where exactly are you struggling?
Taifun
ok, thanks. that works. how would you get it to do it 3 times?
