Timed local notifications?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Is it possible to send a local notification, for example, every hour? Or is the only way to do this to go through the push method?

@bertybottom - You can do it both with local notification and push notification. If it is a onetime thing, then just use local notification and schedule notification for every hour of the day…

The advantage with push notification is that you have better control over the notification and you can modify it at a later stage…

but runtime events won’t work will they? e.g

  
local function timer()  
--find hour using os.date  
  
if hour == 1 then  
-- do local notification  
end  
end   
  
Runtime:addEventListener("enterFrame",timer)

that was just an example but it illustrates my point - surely if the app is in the background, the runtime event listener won’t be called?

Thanks,

True runtime events won’t trigger if the app is in background. In your case push notification seems to be better option. [import]uid: 84539 topic_id: 19853 reply_id: 77327[/import]
