add a countdown

Post by jerb67 » Thu May 03, 2018 11:35 am

Hello everyone !
I'm a beginner, and I would like to add a countdown before each next "task", but I can't find this option in the code Builders..

Is this possible ?
Thank you.

Well, I may not fully understand what you want to do but you could just add a message after each main step, something like:

Message>Completed task 1 of 5
//do something else
Message>Complated task 2 of 5
//and so on

The message will change each time without the user needing to ok it.

Or you could use a progress bar and a custom dialog if you want to get fancy. Search this forum for ProgressBar and you should find examples.
