Countdown being reseted due long time in background about mztimerlabel HOT 5 OPEN

Hi Rafa, I'm glad you like it.

I've tried your situation, so far it's okay for me. What iOS version u using?

from mztimerlabel.

Yep, its super cool, thanks for this pod!

I'm under 7.0....
I don't know if thats the issue, but i think its a memory warning issue... :(
Once it worked for half an hour in background, but not for an full hour... it also depends on the phone usage...

I think ill store when i started the timer, and when the app comes active again, it re-starts the timmer again...

What you think?

Even in the example those timers only use like 25mb of memory. I am not sure if it's about the memory.

Is it only the timer reset or the others thing like views and view controllers?

I'm seeing strange things too when the timer goes in the background for 20+ mins. To get around this, I had to do this:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        countdownTimer = MZTimerLabel(label: myLabel, andTimerType: MZTimerLabelTypeTimer)

        // When app becomes active, re-run to refresh timer
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
            selector: "updateCountDownTimer",
            name: UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification,
            object: nil)
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        timerDate = //some date
        countdownTimer.setCountDownToDate(timerDate)
        countdownTimer.start()
    }

    func updateCountDownTimer() {
        // Countdown looses its place after app leaves foreground for 20+ mins
        if timerDate > NSDate() {
            countdownTimer.reset()
            countdownTimer.setCountDownToDate(timerDate)
            countdownTimer.start()
        }
    }

hey @basememara thanks first. But is that anyway i can bundle your workaround into MZTimerLabel that not requires any further custom implementation from user? otherwise i will try to put this into readme ;)
