Hello,
I need a time tracking app. There is a lot of time trackers on Google Play and I've tried a lot of them, but in every app I missed one important feature: parallel timers for different clients and jobs.
I need:
- to define my clients, to define my jobs I do for the clients, to define projects.
- to simply choose client, project and kind of job and then start the timer
- to simply start and stop MULTIPLE timers (start and stop one timer, while second timer is still running)
- to export all data in usable form (for billing my clients)
Example of what I mean:
- My job is phone support. I am sitting at home and answering phone calls. I am payed for hours, so I need to start timer and leave it running almost all day untouched (except of lunch time).
- Because I spent most of the time by waiting for calls, I simultaneously do other jobs. I write articles, compose music and do some other work for other clients. So I need to start and stop timers according to actual work - but the "phone support timer" has to be also running. When I am - for example - writing an article and someone calls me, I need to stop "writing article timer", pick up the phone and solve customer's problem. When I drop the phone, I need to start "writing article timer"... etc...
This kind of app with parallel timers I've used on my Psion PDA back in 1998, but I can't find similar app for Android phones. Can anybody recommend me the app I am searching for? Thanks a lot.
Hoi,
i am using for nearly the same actions the App StopWatch.
On an older device i used Multi Timer PRO, but for some reasons? it isnt availabale at the Store any longer, and i didnt find my Backup.

Which StopWatch exactly? There is a lot of apps called StopWatch on Play Store, maybe hundreds. 8^)
Hoi,
its this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcG9ydHN0cmFja2xpdmUuc3RvcHdhdGNoIl0.

TSheets Time Tracker
Check out TSheets Time Tracker (tsheets.com) you can set up multiple job codes for your clients and projects and click to start and stop each one. When you set up your account just make yourself two people (!!) - "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Phone" and "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Article Writer" so the clocks can run simultaneously...
Check out the free app Timesheet from LlamaLab. It can handle multiple tasks active simultaneously.

Hi
Try out with the time tracking apps from Replicon. I have been using the same from a very long time and have got cool experience with the same on my work schedules.

Good idea.
Quickbooks Time Tracking Software is really awesome
Go ahead with Quickbooks Time Tracking Software from Replicon. Its been hassle free, cloud based, designed quite impressively with UX/UI and manages to navigate well. I am sure there will not be any cool tool than this.
We have a Service with some threads dedicated to network communication. It's heartbeat-type traffic - a quick request-response a couple of times a second with small amounts of data. The problem is that a thread sometimes just stops being run for 20 or more seconds when a network request is made (that's based on calling System.currentTimeMillis() at the start and finish of the network request, and I know from measurements on the server side that the request was completed in a fraction of a second).
The advice out there suggests setting thread priorities using the Android-specific API and/or the pure Java API. It also suggests poking the service into the foreground with notifications, because Android favours foreground processes. I've tried the thread priorities, doesn't work. I'm currently trying the foreground notification trick, I don't know yet if it solves the problem.
Even if any of those techniques happen to work, it stil seems brittle - the kind of thing that could stop working with a hardware change or operating system upgrade. Is there any way of telling Android that a given thread is important enough to get attention a few times a second, and to have it treated as a requirement and not as a suggestion?
This isn't a general release application that needs to be a good citizen and let other apps have their turn: we're running it on a tablet that's dedicated just to running this application, and that we can modify in any way that's required to support the application.
Have you come across this problem before? What do you suggest?
Thanks.
I have a bit of an odd request. I need a specialized timer app that: 1) begins timing as soon as it is launched, 2) launches in the background, and 3) logs the time stamps in a local device database.
This app is needed for an educational reading program to monitor changes in the amount of time a student spends reading (to see if it increases as they progress through the instructional reading program). The plan is to use Tasker to automatically launch the timer app as soon as the designated reading app (for example, Repligo) is opened on the tablet. Ideally, Tasker will then close the timer app as soon as the screen shuts off or the reading app is closed, and the stop-time will be logged in the database (seems like that part may be more difficult?).
I've looked at many timer apps, but haven't found any that quite had this functionality. I'm not sure how easy point #2 will be to achieve. Alternatively, a basic PDF reader that possesses these same capabilities would work too! I would appreciate any help that could be offered, either in directing me toward an app that will work or if you have the skill to craft the app.
Thank you in advance!
Hi lads,
I was wondering - is there a way that Android application can acquire screen for some time exclusively?
Consider scenario:
Android broadcasts some common intent (say: wifi state changed)
There are N>1 applications which receive the intent
Each of them starts activity
User experience is awful here, activities stacks one after another (depending on order of intent delivery) and last lucky one is being displayed on the top.
Is there a way to prevent it? Someway of locking the screen just for one application exclusively for some time?
Any help welcome, thanks.

Many of you may think this is noob question and guy has no idea what he is talking about - this is not the case (at least I hope so). I am pretty sure you cannot do it using official API beside monitoring other applications activity and killing them as soon as possible so that only one (mine) is on top (not sure about legal side of this operation).
Maybe I am missing something, maybe there is a way of achieving this in other way including native coding and/or Android modification (I can talk to Samsung, they will do it for me if I am kind enough ).
Hello,
My company uses a specific app to complete tasks at a set time. They are the same time periods each day. Of course sometimes these tasks don't get completed on time.
I used to be able to change time in automatic time in settings but now it doesn't allow log in when the time isn't the actual time.
Any ideas of how I could spoof the time without the app denying my sign on request?

@huskydg you are one of the only developers that I actively follow. Do you have any thoughts on this?
