Open Source • Background Tasks: Itoo 🚀

[11191]

If you want to get periodic event, don't forget to call Clock component in this way (evaluate but ignore result):

I would like to use Itoo to ping an API and, depending on the result, send a notification about it. These blocks are not working:

Can I not use the Web1.GotText handler with Itoo?

Can I not use the Web1.GotText handler with Itoo?

No, you can't do this directly
Read the complete Itoo thread to find several examples how to do it

You have to registeer the Web1.GotText event with necessary arguments included in the procedure from where you will handle the response.

[busybird15]

Ohh, so I need to use two Itoo1.RegisterEvent blocks, one for the timer and one for the web component? Or do I need to do something else with the register block?

[Kumaraswamy]

That should work fine.

[busybird15]

Okay! I'll try it and see.

[Kumaraswamy]

What was the result, so far?

[busybird15]

What do I put for procedure?
Web1.GotText did not work and I think leaving it empty would cause a runtime error.

@busybird15

What do I put for procedure?

Here is one of several examples of a got_text procedure which can be found in this thread

Open Source • Background Tasks: Itoo

Hi, I have been testing the comments you did yesterday, but with no luck. [image] I am just trying to make a sound whenever the callstate variable is equal to 1. But it is not being triggered. I will describe what I expect to happen because perhaps I misunderstand the background service and perhaps I need the foreground one: -Once the user closes the app (with the home button only), the database has to be continuously checked to search for a change in a certain variable (callstate). -If ca…

You have to put there a procedure name that will be called, it will have the same values as the Web1.GotText event:

Still not receiving any notifications from the NotificationStyle extension .

[Taifun]

It does not make sense to set the responseContent parameter like this...

First get something simple running, for example periodically send a notification. After you got that running successfully then try again a more complex example

You should be using the new modified notification style extension, which one are you using?

Extension: Modified Notification Style to support Android 12 and above

Modified version of Notification Style Extension By @Jarlissonlira2, adds support for Android >= 12 Refer to the original topic for documentation: Fork of the extension: github.com/XomaDev/NotificationStyleAIX License (MIT) and modified sources (rush): rush-compatible/notification-style [component_event(5)] [component_method(17)] [component_method(16)] New permission blocks for Android Tiramisu (for >= 33). android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS Make sure to ask the permission if th…

Version 1

However I have Android 10, so this version should work. I'll update anyway, and try some other things for now.

Doesn't work like that. AppInventor version causes that error, not Android version.

[busybird15]

I updated the extension, and these blocks do work:

However Button2 did not stop the notifications. Do I need to also use Clock1.TimerEnabled to False to stop it?

[Kumaraswamy]

Nice, use StopTask block when you want to stop a service outside of it.

[busybird15]

Oh, okay. Thank you!

I want to create a reminder app that can send notifications even when the app is in background for different date and time inputted by user which are saved in tiny DB and want to know what I am doing wrong here please help.

I have been able to create the difference between the required date and time and current system time in milliseconds to put it in latency in create tasks it would be a great help if you could take a look @Kumaraswamy
