Hello,

I need to launch a timer which navigates to new screen after 5 seconds.

I added these formulas below on my timer control:

Text:

Text(Time(0; 0; Self.Value/1000); "hh:mm:ss")

On timer start

UpdateContext({startTimer:true})

on timer end

UpdateContext({startTimer:false}) and i added the formula to navigate to specific screen

I also added the variable : startimer on the "Start field"

To launch the timer i used this formula on a new button:

UpdateContext({startTimer:true})

When i click on the button the timer stops at 1 second instead of 5 seconds.

What i need to do to launch the timer until it reaches 5 seconds

Hi @Sormick

I see the variables you have but need to see the configuration for the timer.

Please share images of the Timers properties

Finally i found the solution:

Please find here the variables i used on my timer control:

A timer with the following properties:

AutoStart = true

AutoPause = false

Duration = 5000 (5 seconds)

Repeat = false

Reset = gblResetTimer

Start = gblStartTimer

OnTimerEnd = Set(gblTimerEndValue, true)

A button to stop it with its OnSelect set to:Set(gblResetTimer, false); Set(gblResetTimer, true);

A button to start it with its OnSelect set to: Set(gblStartTimer, false); Set(gblStartTimer, true)

And now my timer stops after 5 seconds instead of one second!
