Sure but even so, shouldn't reconnecting it again after getting the name, by running the timer procedure in the bg do the same?
I'll try what instruction you gave me with image for now.
You will have it running twice in this case
You do not want this

I have problem with the code. The code is function but unstable and I dont know, where is problem. Please help
That's a wild guess and I do not think so
You can easily create a test project and add some debug statements to proof, that this is not the case
Can you elaborate? Probably your background process sometimes does not continue after waiting 30min ot 1 hour and the Android operating system is terminating your process?
If you want do do something regularly after a given time (in your case after 30min/1h) usually you use the alarmmanager functionality. My alarmmanager extension is able to do some processing after a given time in the background App Inventor Extensions: Alarm Manager | Pura Vida Apps

Thanks, You mean than your extesion will be used in Itoo?
No, it's the other way around, my extension will use itoo functionality, Itoo X Framework: Virtual App Inventor environment for Background execution - #2 by Kumaraswamy

when i do this, nothing happens, the device does not get connected because im guessing itoo processes cant read the listview1.selectionindex and act upon it. i also added a evaluate but no result of listview1 but still nothing happens.
- the list view shows both the address and devices name so i cant use listview1.selection and store it via storeproperty block
No? Why not? Don't you think it would probably be a good idea to share your updated blocks?

I did a search for you in the itoo thread and found the following BLE example for you
And another example
Don't hesitate to search yourself, too...

yeah sorry i was about to, so
i removed all the timers in order to narrow things down.
and when i run this, nothing really happens, the device does not show signs of connecting at all.
well as the listview contains both- the address and the name, i cannot use connectmatchingname or the connectwithaddress block, i would probably need to create a way to save both to utilise them into the itoo procedure blocks.
also, when i directly hardcode it to my devices name using connectmatchingname, this still pops up
the one below this one is completely hardcoded and what i wanna do is use the listview for connecting the device.
UPDATE:
for this, i got the address from the listview and saved it using storeproperty block
but the error 3300 still persists and i dont understand why.
(The device still vibrates for 0.5s as thats what i allowed it to do in bytesreceived blocks so that means that the device IS connected)
thank you for your help so far, this fixed the error issue entirely. i am facing a new problem instead of that tho
everything works fine when the set charuuid.text to block is disabled, but when i enable it in order to get the characteristic uuid, i get a runtime error, why so?
and how do i fix this?(the whole itoo process stops working altogether when i enable that speicifc block.
Probably it is a background/foreground thing? This is only a guess...
You are calling GetCharacteristicsForService in the foreground while all ble functionality is in the background
Try to call it in the background, store the result using StoreProperty and then call ui_bleconnect
In ui_bleconnect then use ReadProperty and display it in label charuuid
Alternatively use logcat for debugging without using ui_ procedures

Itoo background extension is no more working. Itoo 4.4.2 sky
I have given days and days to learn it. Even used chatgpt to learn. But with no success.
Then I tried step by step assuming some errors in itoo. And I was correct. Errors in Itoo coding, it does not work. I read documentation and tried sample projects given "Doing get request every 5 seconds."
Not working. Clock.Timer does not work.
Even this simple code doesnot work after installing apk.
??? your code is wrong, bgTimer procedure should NOT have the parameter y.
Ahh, its working now.
Can you explain when to use parameter x/y in procedures while using Itoo, and when not to use?
Also, only vibrating, sound is not played.
If the event that you are using has the n number of parameters, then your registered procedure should have it too. The same number of arguments.
Before you call Player1.Start, you first have to manually set the source/music again. Remember that this is background, so you have to reinitialize properties manually.
You mean to say:
I have one eventname: "clock1.timer" inside procedure: "MyFGprocess"
So, I should have one "x" argument in "MyFGprocess" procedure.
If, I have two events, then I should apply x and y arguments?
No, your main procedure MyFGprocess will always have only one argument x
In your example you register the Clock1.Timer event. That event does not have any arguments, so your event handler bgTimer also will not have any arguments
The event handlers need exactly the same number of arguments as their corresponding events
