[mustafaalbasel]

Any suggestions to make itoo working in the background with sound!

here is my blocks so what is missing to make itoo working in the background with sound when a sheet cell num exceeds 7 in the listview elements!
thanks in advance!

User interface components like labels do not exist in the background

He tried even without that label but the sound didnot appear. So do not what is the reason. Or do not knkw where do makes mistake

@Spicy_Topics

He tried even without that label but the sound didnot appear

Then he should do it step by step... start simple, and if it works, add more blocks

The first thing could be to use the complete response content together with TextToSpeech

Is it possible to use variables in background tasks?

#1 ?

[Taifun]

Yes exactly,
A thread usually starts with the first post Open Source • Background Tasks: Itoo 🚀

@Kumaraswamy

Usage

• Before you try to do something with Itoo, first get it working normally.
• Do not use global variables, or try to access/set them.
• Do not use user interface components such as Label, TextBox or even Notifier since there is no interface in background.
• You cannot use Tiny DB, alternatively you are supposed to make use of the similar storage features Store/Fetch property blocks offered by this extension.
• For the main background procedure, you need to include an argument "x".
• You cannot use normal Event blocks in background, use RegisterEvent block to listen to component events.
• You cannot run more than one foreground or background service.
• A component does not get created until you touch any of its block

i want to have 2 background tasks running, one will be syncing data and the other must track location and send a notification if a change is detected.

How can i go about this, should i use 2 different itoo components or can i register 2 separate events??

[Spicy_Topics]

@THUNDER_THUMBS

can i register 2 separate events??

You can see the previous post where we registered with 2 events and got succeeded..

1. Clock timer
2. Got text

[THUNDER_THUMBS]

oo ok thanks i will try

[Taifun]

@THUNDER_THUMBS

the other must track location and send a notification if a change is detected

You will not be able to do this using itoo, see again my answer here

Trying to detect a movement change (using the LocationSensor)

To get location changed events while your app is in the background you need background location permission The locationservice extension is able to do it Taifun

ohhk thanks

[THUNDER_THUMBS]

can i just change itoo's foreground service type to location??

this would mean i need to use 2 itoos, but like kinda makes sense ig??

[Kumaraswamy]

@THUNDER_THUMBS

No. Using two background services functionality is not tested for. I'd suggest you to try to combine two functionalities into 1 itoo foreground service.

[THUNDER_THUMBS]

wht do u recommend for location??

[Taifun]

@THUNDER_THUMBS

do u recommend for location?

Just read my previous answer

ya but it is paid, and i cant pay i am like 13 and i have 0 dollars to my name

I was just reading through the first post again and noticed a documentation mismatch. Under the design solutions section it says:

• When the device restarts, how do I start a background process?
  • This can be done using SaveProcessForBoot feature offered by the extension.

but then the documentation for SaveProcessForBoot says the following.

Which one is it? I'm inclined to think the design solutions section is wrong, but I'm not positive.
