Hello,

I am trying to write an application that will timeout and close itself after a certain amount of time using a timer.

I am able to properly set up the spider menu, and start the timer properly, but when the timer expires, I am not sure how to stop and close the spider menu. Even just stopping the application is acceptable.

I have tried calling spider() again, which doesn't work ... actually causes the phone to reboot eventually ...
Also, I tried spider_back. But that also doesn't work.

Is it possible to do what I want?
Thank you,
J

Mmm, if it waits on phone side, i.e. FETCH was done and now you are waiting for TERMINAL_RESPONSE then you can't do it.
If you are in spider_callback then return APP_END. So you have to check some global var keeping timer and based on this either continue with spider flow or APP_END.

I see. Thank you for your reply, pz.

So that means, if my application is in the middle of a get_input() or msisdn() call, for example, it is not possible to do, right?
Also, that means that at any non-terminal spider node, I won't be able to check the variable, right? (because there's no callback method to check it in?)

If that is the case, is there a way to send a signal to the application? Like SIG_TERM or SIG_KILL, or something?

Thanks in advance,
J
