Timer will continue to run if it is set to less than 5 seconds.

[quadratz]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set timer to less than 5 seconds and click Start.
2. The timer exceeds the applied limit (resulting in a negative value).
3. The timer always stops and ringing at exactly the 5th second, regardless of the setting.

Expectation:

• The timer should stop and sound at the exact time set.

I also made some tests, I find the same error as you. I am currently unable to find the solution.

can you assign me ?

Hi @qw123wh @CikiMomogi , i am interested by the issue , i would like to know if you are still active on the project because i can fin a solution . Thank you

[qw123wh]

@GokhanKabar @Aladin056 the project is active, if you can solve the issue of pull requests, I will then join them to the main branch. I am looking for collaborators for this project, I have some nice ideas to make this app even more functional. Your help is greatly appreciated

Impossible to find the cause... 😭

I test the app and i have some notes:

The timer will continue counting negative (when foreground or background) if set to 1 or 2 secs.
When reaching -4 or higher, it will ring and sound only if in foreground, otherwise will continue counting negative.

I've also noticed this, but I can't find the part of the code that causes this bad behavior.

Note: it seems to be the same on the LineageOS clock application.

No, @BlackyHawky

I have another phone (with LineageOS 18.1 -Android 11- on it), and this problem is not found in the Clock app, except when you set the timer for 1 second (i think because the 1 sec. timer is very low or small to handle correctly)

@MaroEldawwy6
Check out the video below; this is the application compiled from the official LineageOS repository.

It'll confirm what I've said...

@BlackyHawky I found the solution,

botxxxx/lib-com.android.deskclock@5f19c68

I tested it on the old AOSP clock, the first on the repository that I haven't updated for 3 years; the changes of TimerItemFragment.java works. Now see if you can adapt this to the new code, since the TimerItemFragment.java file no longer exists

@qw123wh
You are magic !!!! 🎉🎉
It's an excellent search that unfortunately only works if the application remains in the foreground.

Did you find the same thing?

[qw123wh]

@BlackyHawky Yes same problem, I didn't notice it. Partially resolved.

Create a branch with the modification, then we may find some solution to solve it completely
