@ohos.systemTimer (System Timer) (System API)

The systemTimer module provides system timer features. You can use the APIs of this module to implement the alarm clock and other timer services.

NOTE

• The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
• The APIs provided by this module are system APIs.

Modules to Import

import { systemTimer } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

Constants

Provides the constants that define the supported timer types.

System capability: SystemCapability.MiscServices.Time

Name	Type	Value	Description
TIMER_TYPE_REALTIME	number	1	CPU time type. (The start time of the timer cannot be later than the current system time.)
TIMER_TYPE_WAKEUP	number	2	Wakeup type. (If the wakeup type is not set, the system does not wake up until it exits the sleep state.)
TIMER_TYPE_EXACT	number	4	Exact type. (If the system time is changed, the offset may be 1s at most.)
TIMER_TYPE_IDLE	number	8	Idle timer type (supported only for system services).

TimerOptions

Defines the initialization options for createTimer.

System capability: SystemCapability.MiscServices.Time

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
type	number	Yes	Timer types. Use pipe (|) symbol to combine two or more types. 1: CPU time type. (The start time of the timer cannot be later than the current system time.) 2: wakeup type. 4: exact type. (If an application is frozen, the timer is also frozen. In addition, the timer is controlled by a unified heartbeat. Therefore, even a timer of the exact type cannot be triggered at specified time.) 8: idle timer type (supported only for system services, but not applications).
repeat	boolean	Yes	Whether the timer is a repeating timer. The value true means that the timer is a repeating timer, and false means that the timer is a one-shot timer.
autoRestore15+	boolean	No	Whether the timer is restored after the device is restarted. The value true means that the timer is restored after the restart, and the value false means the opposite. This parameter can be set to true only for timers that are not of the TIMER_TYPE_REALTIME type and have wantAgent configured.
name15+	string	No	Timer name, with a maximum length of 64 bytes. A UID cannot contain two timers with the same name. If a timer with the same name as an existing timer is created, the existing timer is destroyed.
interval	number	No	Repeat interval. For a repeating timer, the minimum value of interval is 1s and the maximum value is 365 days. It is recommended that the value be greater than or equal to 5000 ms. For a one-shot timer, the value is 0.
wantAgent	WantAgent	No	WantAgent object of the notification to be sent when the timer expires. (An application MainAbility can be started, but not a Service ability.)
callback	void	No	Callback to be executed by the user.

systemTimer.createTimer

createTimer(options: TimerOptions, callback: AsyncCallback<number>): void

Creates a timer. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

NOTE
This function must be used together with systemTimer.destroyTimer. Otherwise, memory leakage occurs.

System capability: SystemCapability.MiscServices.Time

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
options	TimerOptions	Yes	Timer initialization options, including the timer type, whether the timer is a repeating timer, interval, and WantAgent options.
callback	AsyncCallback<number>	Yes	Callback used to return the timer ID.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see Time and Time Zone Service Error Codes.

ID	Error Message
202	Permission verification failed. A non-system application calls a system API.
401	Parameter error. Possible causes: 1.Mandatory parameters are left unspecified; 2.Incorrect parameter types; 3.Parameter verification failed.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

let options: systemTimer.TimerOptions = {
  type: systemTimer.TIMER_TYPE_REALTIME,
  repeat: false
};
try {
  systemTimer.createTimer(options, (error: BusinessError, timerId: Number) => {
    if (error) {
      console.info(`Failed to create a timer. Message: ${error.message}, code: ${error.code}`);
      return;
    }
    console.info(`Succeeded in creating a timer. timerId: ${timerId}`);
  });
} catch(e) {
  let error = e as BusinessError;
  console.info(`Failed to create a timer. Message: ${error.message}, code: ${error.code}`);
}

systemTimer.createTimer

createTimer(options: TimerOptions): Promise<number>

Creates a timer. This API uses a promise to return the result.

NOTE
This function must be used together with systemTimer.destroyTimer. Otherwise, memory leakage occurs.

System capability: SystemCapability.MiscServices.Time

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
options	TimerOptions	Yes	Timer initialization options, including the timer type, whether the timer is a repeating timer, interval, and WantAgent options.

Return value

Type	Description
Promise<number>	Promise used to return the timer ID.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see Time and Time Zone Service Error Codes.

ID	Error Message
202	Permission verification failed. A non-system application calls a system API.
401	Parameter error. Possible causes: 1.Mandatory parameters are left unspecified; 2.Incorrect parameter types.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

let options: systemTimer.TimerOptions = {
  type: systemTimer.TIMER_TYPE_REALTIME,
