Repeatedly calls a function with a fixed time delay between each call.

Description

The SETINTERVAL function can be used to repeatedly call a function at a specified interval. It's nearly identical to the web platform standard setTimeout.

Parameters

function function (required) - The function to execute at the interval

interval Number (required) - The number of milliseconds to delay between each call (e.g. 1000 is 1 second)

Examples

ON('load-record', function(event) {
  var fiveSeconds = 1000 * 5;

  SETINTERVAL(function() {
    if (CURRENTLOCATION()) {
      SETLABEL('accuracy', CURRENTLOCATION().accuracy);
    }
  }, fiveSeconds);
});

// Set a field label to the current GPS accuracy every 5 seconds
