How to use Adalo's timer component?

Step 1: Add the Timer Component to Your Screen

Alright, let's get started! Just drag and drop the Timer component onto the screen where you want it in your Adalo app design workspace. Easy peasy.

Step 2: Configure Timer Properties

Click on the Timer component to open up its settings. Here, you can tweak a few things:

  • Duration: Set how long you want the timer to run, in seconds or minutes.
  • Display Mode: Pick if you want a countdown or a stopwatch. Your call!
  • Start Automatically: Turn this on if you want the timer to start as soon as the screen loads.
  • End Behavior: Decide what happens when the timer hits zero. Maybe it navigates to another screen or shows a message. Up to you!

Step 3: Display Timer on the Screen

Now, drag the timer to where you want it on the screen. Adjust its size and look so it fits nicely with your app's design. Make it look good!

Step 4: Set Up Timer Actions

Time to define what the timer does:

  • When Timer Starts: Set any actions for when the timer kicks off. Maybe it triggers an API call or something.
  • When Timer Ends: Decide what happens when the timer finishes. Navigate to another page? Show a message? Your choice.

Step 5: Test the Timer

Give it a test run. Preview the screen to make sure the timer works as expected. Check its start, countdown, and end behaviors. And make sure it looks good on the screen.

Step 6: Publish Your App

Once you're happy with how the timer works and looks, make any final tweaks. Then, go ahead and publish your app so users can enjoy the new timer feature.
