AdvancedTimer v1.0.2-alpha5

AdvancedTimer implementation for Xamarin.Forms

Caution: I consider this software to be beta-quality which may or may not be suitable for use in production. I have used it in a published Xamarin.Forms app, and so far it seems to work well, but your mileage may vary. (The version will remain at v1.0.2-alpha5 for now because I'm too lazy to make and upload a new NuGet package just for the sake of changing "-alpha5" to "-beta1".)

AdvancedTimer

Timer object and its methods are implemented for extended support for timers. You can start, stop, change interval of a timer. For Xamarin.Forms projects Can be used with Dependency service.

Setup

• Available on NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/info.dmwilson.AdvancedTimer.Forms.Plugin
