IShell_Timer

Hi,
How can I schedule the timer at a fixed rate or do polling?

Cheers,

Hi,
Use
ISHELL_SetTimer(IShell * pIShell, int32 dwMSecs, PFNNOTIFY pfn, void *pUser) API for scheduling. For further information refer BREW SDK.

How can I repeat it ?

Hi,
In ISHEL_SetTimer, the third parameter is the call back function. This function will be called after timer is expired. You call the ISHELL_SetTimer again in the callback function so that it will poll continuosly. Its a infinite loop.For eg your piece of code should like this.

ISHELL_SetTimer(pIShell, 1500, (PFNNOTIFY)callbackFunc, appdata structure(or any parameter for the callback function));

assuming your call back function takes parameter of app data structure,

void callbackFunc(appData)
{
//perform any necessary operation here...
//call again ISHELL_setTimer again
ISHELL_SetTimer(pIShell, 1500, (PFNNOTIFY)callbackFunc, appdata structure(or any parameter for the callback function));
}

In this way you have continuous polling. Lemme know if you have any problems.
