@michael yeah so all of that make using the alarm api for this seem like the wrong approach, and we should provide a proper timer api.
For example see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/CountDownTimer.html or perhaps https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimer_Class/ or in the meantime uses Qt timers http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/timers.html I would think to start requiring the app in the foreground is ok for the timer use case, but yeah would like something fancier The bug should still be fixed. ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Milestone: None => backlog ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Assignee: Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan) => Alejandro J.
