this is my first programming in Java. I have two functions, #start and #reset. I want to use setInterval to use #reset function within #start after every 10 seconds.
Here are the two functions. First is #start
$('#start').click(function() {
// Calculate the amount of time in milliseconds to run for
var timeleft_s = Math.round(
parseInt($('#hours' ).val())*3600 +
parseInt($('#minutes').val())*60 +
parseInt($('#seconds').val())*1
);
if (timeleft_s > 2147483647) { // Max unsighed 32 bit value
alert("That's too long. Pick a shorter time.");
return;
}
if (APP.last_sent_status !== null && APP.last_sent_status !== APP.status) {
return false;
}
// 0 : not started
// 1 : running
// 2 : stopped
switch(APP.status) {
case 0:
APP.resumeMCA(APP.channel, timeleft_s);
APP.last_sent_status = 1;
break
case 1:
APP.stopMCA(APP.channel);
APP.last_sent_status = 2;
break
case 2:
APP.resumeMCA(APP.channel, timeleft_s);
APP.last_sent_status = 1;
break
default:
break
}
APP.updateButtonStates();
});
Here is the reset function
$('#reset').click(function() {
APP.resetHistogram(APP.channel);
});
I want to use setInterval inside the start function make sure the reset function executes after every 10 seconds.
Here is what I have tried so far with no luck. Any help is appreciated:
$('#start').click(function() {
// Calculate the amount of time in milliseconds to run for
var timeleft_s = Math.round(
parseInt($('#hours' ).val())*3600 +
parseInt($('#minutes').val())*60 +
parseInt($('#seconds').val())*1
);
if (timeleft_s > 2147483647) { // Max unsighed 32 bit value
alert("That's too long. Pick a shorter time.");
return;
}
if (APP.last_sent_status !== null && APP.last_sent_status !== APP.status) {
return false;
}
// 0 : not started
// 1 : running
// 2 : stopped
switch(APP.status) {
case 0:
APP.resumeMCA(APP.channel, timeleft_s);
APP.last_sent_status = 1;
break
case 1:
APP.stopMCA(APP.channel);
APP.last_sent_status = 2;
break
case 2:
APP.resumeMCA(APP.channel, timeleft_s);
APP.last_sent_status = 1;
break
default:
break
}
setInterval(#reset,10000)
APP.updateButtonStates();
});
function resetFunction(){
APP.resetHistogram(APP.channel);
}
$('#reset').click(resetFunction);
then replace
setInterval(#reset,10000) with
setInterval(resetFunction,10000)
since you defined the function to be called on #reset click as anonymous there's no reference as such by which you can call it.
so you define it by giving it a name, and then use that in place of onclick function as well as inside your start function
I am not totally sure of this answer. If you are trying to start a setInterval inside of the onclick of #start, here's what I think you could do:
setInterval(() => $("#reset").onclick(),10000);
