Timer still running when main QML is not loaded

? Offline

yup i changed the someloader to mainLoader which is the id of my Loader element but still when i click the mousearea that triggers to load the 2nd QML, the timer stops

mlong

The timer isn't inside the code that the Loader is loading (and unloading), is it?

@ Timer {
id: decrementTimer
interval: 2000 // 2 seconds
repeat: true
running: (mainLoader.source != "home_aspin.qml")

       onTriggered: {
          // do your decrement code here
           Storage.setSetting("setting",hungertext.text)
           JScript.decrementcode();

       }
       Component.onCompleted: { Storage.initialize() }
    }@

@ MouseArea {
id: sleep2home
x: 138
y: 407
width: 95
height: 76
onClicked: {
decrementTimer.start();
mainLoader.source = "QML2";}
}@

this is inside my main QML, and i dont put timer codes on my QML2

But the Timer and the MouseArea are in the same file, correct?

Just trying to make sure I understand the layout fully.

(If the Timer is in a piece of QML which is loaded by a Loader, and that QML is unloaded, then the timer will stop because it doesn't exist anymore. So the timer has to be persistent somewhere.)

yup the timer and mousearea is in the same file, ah ok so i nid to create a new timer in the loaded QML to start again the timer,

thank you again sir

No, I don't believe the loaded QML needs to know about the timer at all, does it? I think I'm confused as to what exactly you're needing to do...

When do you want the timer to start, and when do you want it to stop?

there is no stop, the timer needs to continue until the application is running,

the problem is i am using Loader element, and i used loader in viewing multiple QML's, and when i load a new QML the timer stops decrementing numbers

Oh, if the timer needs to stay running, just make sure that "running:" is always true and that the Timer element never gets destroyed.
