Hi, Guys
I stumbled on a statement made in an old post by Erel, https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ispaused-activity-but-activity-is-null.73510/#content post #6
which said simply "Make sure that all your timers are declared as Process_Global variables and are disabled in Activity_Pause. "
I am aware that the use of timers in some OS can cause problems, but interested in what they damage the could do in B4A.
I have tried to search the community for some guidance without real success.
I tend to use timers all over the place in both activities, services and classes.
Question #1: Obviously in activities timers are declared in Process_Global sections, but in classes (used within service or activities) these timers have been declared in Class_Globals - Question, is this ok?
Question #2: I do intend to go thro' all my timers and ensure that code is added to the appropriate Activity_Pause() to disable these timers (a special call to the class should do it) - is this correct or is there a better way?
Also, when running debug I sometimes are unable to start the App without it report errors which can only be resolved by closing down the IDE and restarting it. I have tended to blame B4A, but I do now wonder if it is my code and how I handle timers.
I would be most grateful for some comments
Kind regards
Dave
