timer not accurate in mobile

[amrlabib]

Can you please give me more details about this issue it is in useTimer right? is this issue happening only when you use resume function ? is it still available in v3.0.0 and above ?

The way useTimer is working is based on calculating the seconds from the submitted expiry timestamp every 1000 ms this mean that if phone is locked and browser is not active, the next time the browser will be active the timer should still calculate remaining seconds correctly, from version 3.0.0 resume is working in a similar way so let me know if this issue is still there

In my case, I don't want the timer to stop when the browser is not active. Let say if the browser was not active at the 20th second and I open the browser after 5 minutes, the timer should show the 5 minutes that were passed instead of continuing from the time (from 21 seconds) when the browser was minimized. Is there a way for me to do it?

Can you please confirm if you are referring to useStopwatch or useTimer ?

[veeramarni]

I'm referring to useTimer.

[amrlabib]

Then it should work correctly because useTimer is working by deciding the current timer state based on expiry timestamp that is passed from settings. this mean that if you take browser to background and then return to foreground it should still show correct time passed.

@amrlabib I'm using useStopWatch and I can reproduce this issue. Can you fix it for useStopWatch as well?

[amrlabib]

@veeramarni can you please update the package to the latest version i changed the implementation of useStopwatch as well in one of the recent versions so that it will be calculated correctly even if the browser or phone went in background. You can also test the stopwatch Demo in readme it is using latest code

[veeramarni]

I haved checked the demo in my mobile, both useTimer and useStopWatch both get paused in the background when the browser is not active.

I guess I found the issue, in iPhone the page gets refreshed automatically when I open it after few hours.
