Powerapps in background mode

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 18

Hello to all.

I'm fairly new to developing in Powerapps. I've done 2-3 very simple apps.

 

What I'm trying to do in a new app:

- users are alone and remotely located, most of the time in metered connections;
- user enters the app and acknowledges he is fine;

- after a while and with the help of a sound/vibration he needs to re-press the button for us to know he is well. (yes, exactly like a dead man app);

 

Is there anyway to control, to keep the timers going in background mode, when the user leaves the screen app to use the mobile phone to do anything else (send a message, receive a call, ...)

 

Regarding vibration on the mobile phone, I've read that Microsoft does not support haptic feedback. Any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards to all.
