Re: Is there a way to execute a function every few secs

Hello,

I have changed background image in .brs file in task node folder but it is not updated. 

I need to change the background image in .brs file in task node folder. Please provide me the information.

 

I have set the Background image like this

m.background = m.top.findNode("background")
m.background.uri = "pkg:/images/Envoi.jpg"

Re: Is there a way to execute a function every few secs

Hello,

API call triggered in the timer but not going to the next actions.

When I set the timer to m.top.deactivate = true then only the next actions are working.

I need to call the api in timer for every 5 sec.

Based on the API response I have to stop the timer and navigating to another screen.

Xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<component name="PollUrlTask" extends="Task">

  <interface>
    <field id="url" type="string" />
    <field id="intervalSecs" type="integer" value="5" />

    <field id="deactivate" type="boolean" />
    
    <!-- watch this -->
    <field id="result" type="string" />
  </interface>

  <script type="text/brightscript" uri="PollUrlTask.brs" />

</component>

 

PollUrlTask.brs :

function fetch1(url as string) as string
req = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
req.SetMessagePort(port)
req.setRequest("POST")
req.SetUrl(url)
if (left(url, 5) = "https") then req.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
result = req.AsyncGetToString()
if result then
while true
msg = wait(0, port)
json = ParseJson(msg)
print "json.result.devicestatus" json.statusCode
if json.statusCode = 200
m.global.userToken = json.result.token
print "userToken11111111" m.global.userToken
if m.global.userToken <> invalid
m.top.deactivate = true
end if
else if json.statusCode = 401
activation()
end if
if type(msg) = "roUrlEvent" then
code = msg.GetResponseCode()
if code = 200 then
return msg.GetString()
else
return ""
end if
else
result.AsyncCancel()
return ""
end if
end while
end if
return ""
end function
