Timer stops

[ishani modi]

Hi,

I have used timer in app and it stops as soon as the iPhone screen gets locked.
Please give me the solution for this
codevar sec = 0;
var min = 0;
var hour = 0;
function stopwatch() {
sec++;
if (sec == 60) {
sec = 0;
min = min + 1; }
else {
min = min; }
if (min == 60) {
min = 0;
hour += 1; }

if (sec<=9) { sec = "0" + sec; }

Code: Select all

&#47;&#47;document&#46;clock&#46;labelTimer&#46;value = ((hour<=9) ? "0"+hour : hour) + " : " + ((min<=9) ? "0" + min : min) + " : " + sec; 

var timevalue =((hour<=9) ? "0"+hour : hour) + " : " + ((min<=9) ? "0" + min : min) + " : " + sec;
$("#labelTimerValue")[0]&#46;innerHTML = timevalue;
window&#46;setTimeout("stopwatch();", 1000);
}/code
Thanks
Ishani.

Hello!

Timer stops because app goes into background mode. This is done battery economy. Background apps stop working, but there are PhoneGap plugins which can prevent that.
You would need to search for plugins online.

Ishani,

How did you figure this out and where did you paste that code in the original post? I am trying to get a stopwatch in my app as well.

Hi Chrishtopher I have placed this code in .js file under a function and called that function when page show events take place.

What code did you use?
