Title: Countup even when the phone is turned off
Post by: amoraleite on January 13, 2020, 09:38:53 AM

I don't think is it possible --> Countup even when the phone is turned off

But I know that I can get the exactly date and time with the action : Get System Date Time

you guys can imagine a formula to use this info and add an integer each passes 10 minutes.

Eg:
01. Actual time 10:00 and pass 10 minute, are 10:10 = add +1 int

02. Other case,
Shutdown the system or app.
When you startap again:
The actual time pass more 120 minutes, and now are 12:10.
What formula I can use to add my integers?
10 minutes pass 11 times.
I need add 11 Int

Clear?

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

 you need to use the mod ( modulo) operator.

there is an action floatModulo for that.

Hi Jean!
Thank you for your reply.

Mate, I tested the action, but the other action (get system date) give to me a string.
like this: 10:30:23 or hh:mm:ss. How can I extract the diference between two times?

Best!

Hi,

 you use timespan actions, on the ecosystem like "GetTimeSpanBetweenDates" action.
