Code sample to see if now is 20 minutes since the last time widget run?

Hi,

when my widget runs I want to compare the date/time to see if it's 20 minutes later since the last time it ran. Does any one have any sample code, i.e. how to convert the current date/time to an object I can use to compare against the last time.

An easy way is to save the last run time in the object store (in seconds).

var lastRun=Time.now().value();

And then when you start the widget read that value out of the Object Store

and compare that to the current time in seconds. If they are more than (20*60) seconds apart, it's more than 20 minutes.
