Unhandled exception in Timer initialization

beva 6 hours ago

Very rarely I get an unhandled exception when I set a timer.

I don't use timers for that reason, however I added a non essential timer for the review process that invokes the review process once after 20 minutes after initialization. I tried to search the forum for similar exceptions but didn't find any.

Error Name: Unhandled Exception
Occurrences: 1
First Occurrence: 2026-02-01
Last Occurrence: 2026-02-01
Devices:
fēnix® 8 Solar 47mm: 20.29
App Versions: 2.0 Sponsor 4.50
Languages: dut
Backtrace:
tixView.onLayout:102

101 var reviewTimer = new Timer.Timer();

102 reviewTimer.start(method(:checkReview), REQREVTIME, false);

Suggestions?

For now I'll put it in a try catch construction.

1. catch the exception, then log the message, and let us know.

2. I never heard about this issue. The only timer related problem I encountered was when I already had 3 timers and tried to create a 4th one.

My guess is that it is more related to the fact that you're calling it from onLayout than to being a timer.

I load it from onLayout as that is how it is showed in the sdk sample and documentation.

I'm not saying it is wrong, certainly not according to the logic. But I did encounter strange things with onLayout in the past.

Ah oke, what did you stumble into?
