The Daily Timer Condition is triggered at a specific hour of the day. It can be active either every day, or only at certain days of the week (i.e. from Monday to Friday).

Managing Daily Timer Conditions

Via Java API

After creating a condition as described in Managing Conditions  you can configure it by using the following methods:

• setStartTime - The condition is inactive before that date.
• setEndTime - The condition is inactive after that date.
• setActiveDays - Excepts an array of seven elements that represent the seven days of the week. Set true values for the days when the condition should be active.
• setTime - Time of the day, when the condition should be triggered, represented by three integers (hours, minutes and seconds).

After you configure your condition, call the save method. The Condition Provider will save the condition in Config Tree.

Via ConfigTree

All conditions are stored in the Config Tree, which allows you to import/export them and to add/edit them by simply creating and modifying XML files.

The following example contains a Daily Timer Condition, named "My Daily Timer", which becomes active at Mon Nov 28 2011 16:00:00 GMT+0200 (specified as 1322488800000 milliseconds to the startTime property) and the time event will be fired at 05:05:00 o'clock (set hour - 3, minute - 5 and seconds - 0) each Sunday, Monday and Wednesday (properties 0, 1 and 3 are equal to true).
