Timer always triggered at 60000 [ms]

[kripper]

I'm testing this plugin on a Android 5.1.1 (Lenovo A6020I36) and it triggers the event always after aprox. 60.000 [ms] (actually it triggers erratically after: 59.978, 92.845, 134.366, 12.776, 59.998, ... [ms]).

This is the code:

var settings = {
	timerInterval: 5000,
	startOnBoot: true,
	stopOnTerminate: false,
}

BackgroundTimer.onTimerEvent(eventCallback);
BackgroundTimer.start(successCallback, errorCallback, settings);

Hi, it looks like the Android OS limitations
Have not seen it before

I also found it's not accurate.
I set the timer like this:

var settings = {
    timerInterval: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // 24 hr
    startOnBoot: true,
    stopOnTerminate: true,
    hours: 0,
    minutes: 30
  };

, found sometimes it has deviation more than 1 hr.
Then is there a way to fix this?

I'm seeing the same thing with {timerInterval: 1000}
Every 60 seconds but something also randomly.

I too am getting this issue where the first trigger will happen at say 5 seconds and then every one after that is at 60 seconds.

Looks like android has allowed the phone to shift the time based on thinks like battery condition, etc..

AlarmManager Info

Looks like setExact would do whats needed

It seems that the app is moved to background by design to save battery and having a timer is not supported.
A solution would probably require to use some OS features or push notifications (for other use cases).
