Decoding Base64 string to image Watchdog Tripped Error - Code Executed Too Long

Hello,

My application receives a String that represents an image in Base64.

I want to decode this String to draw it, but when my code runs, I get the error «Watchdog Tripped Error - Code Executed Too Long».

My image is 2 KB before putting it in Base64, I have already tried to optimize my code and I do not see that we can make threads in Monkey C.

I am with the Connect IQ 6.4.2 sdk and the watch I use for my tests is the Forerunner 935

Is there a solution that could prevent me from making this mistake?

CIQ only has one thread. The watchdog is tripped if you run too long without returning to the VM, and varies based on device. With the 935 it's

"watchdogCount": 120000

while the 965 it's

"watchdogCount": 240000

for example

Search the discussion forum for "watchdog" and you'll see this comes up and how to resolve it

One solution could be using a timer, and each time that ticks, decode part of the data, next time, the next part, and so on
