reminder

Post by Nana » Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:51 am

Hi guys,

i am building a reminder for my mobile and i am using
mobileCreateLocalNotification "The Alert Body", "Show Me", "It is time to do some Exercise", the seconds + 10, true, "1"

With this i get a reminder after 10 seconds. How can i make it to repeat the reminder every 2 hours for example.

Thanks

Hi Nana,
Why not

Code: Select all

mobileCreateLocalNotification "The Alert Body", "Show Me", "It is time to do some Exercise", the seconds + 7200, true, "1"
(no tested)

Best regards

Hi Nana,


Maybe this one is better.
It use a pendingmessage
You can stop it with the optionkey

Code: Select all

on StartLoopNotification
   DoLoopNotification
end StartLoopNotification

on DoLoopNotification
   if the optionkey is down then 
      stopPending DoLoopNotification
      exit DoLoopNotification
   end if
  
   mobileCreateLocalNotification "The Alert Body", "Show Me", "It is time to do some Exercise", the seconds + 1, true, "1"
   if "DoLoopNotification" is not in the pendingmessages then
      send DoLoopNotification to me in 7200 seconds
   end if
end DoLoopNotification

on stopPending pPending
      repeat for each line aLine in the pendingmessages
      if aLine contains pPending then
         cancel item 1 of aLine
      end if
   end repeat
end stopPending
