GSoC week 4: Timer Playground App
This week’s work was on creating the display of all loaded timers in the playground app. Also we can give calendar dates as input to set the timer run time .
Here are the list of options available in the timer app right now.
Main page : Displays all loaded timers and static timers
Currently the timer playground app don’t posses an option to start, restart or reload timers. It only displays currently available timers. The option to start, restart or reload is available in services/timer tab.
New Options available in Timer Creation
