Bug in countdown timer, If count down time is more than 24 hours away. about mztimerlabel HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi Waruna,

Thank you for your reporting. It was not really a bug but it does need some hack for displaying the real over-bounded hours value. Because MZTimerLabel uses time-format string "HH" by default, which itself only displays from 00 to 23 and there should be no format string that is available for displaying over-bounded hours value (e.g. 30:14:02).

I will commit a fix to that and let user define whether or not to display over-bounded value. Before that, you may implement delegate method MZTimerLabel provided below to custom the return text at certain time.

-(NSString*)timerLabel:(MZTimerLabel*)timerLabel customTextToDisplayAtTime:(NSTimeInterval)time;

from mztimerlabel.

I too need this feature. After hours of trying to make a Category or subclass, I decided to try with the method you mentioned, but failed. How long until you release the fix? Should I wait a couple of hours or days for the fix? If it takes longer, could you explain how can I transform the time parameter into a date?

Please try with this snippet

- (NSString*)timerLabel:(MZTimerLabel *)timerLabel customTextToDisplayAtTime:(NSTimeInterval)time
{
    int second = (int)time  % 60;
    int minute = ((int)time / 60) % 60;
    int hours = time / 3600;
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d:%02d:%02d",hours,minute,second];
}

Thanks. This fix the issued.

Good to know.

Hi all, MZTimerLabel updated to the 0.5 version.

Now you'll have a BOOL shouldCountBeyondHHLimit to set if you want HH to be automatically counting beyond 23hours.
No more custom implementation needed. Please see example 12 in new example project.

Cheers.

    if (days > 0) {
        return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d : %02d : %02d : %02d",days,hours,minute,second];
