Toybox.Timer module restricted?

Former Member over 10 years ago

The Timer module isn't listed in the "APIs and App Types" table in the Programmers Guide PDF, but I'm getting Symbol Not Found Error when I try and use it in my datafield app.

Which app types is the module available in? It would be really useful to have it working in datafield.

Thanks

I agree that the docs should probably be updated. That said, you can easily detect whether a module is available to you by using the has operator as described on page 26 of the programmers guide. e.g.,

if (Toybox has :Timer) {
    Sys.println("found timers");
}
else {
    Sys.println("no timers!");
}

Timers are only available to Widgets and Watch-Apps. I've updated the documentation to include Timer for these types.
