Continue countdown timer after being paused

[nurlan-dzhavadov]

Hello!

Thanks for this library, it has helped me a lot! I have one problem. I have implemented a timer in my app and use 3 button to control this timer: Start, Stop and Pause. The problem is that when user presses Pause the timer pauses, but when the user presses Start, it doesn't continue running from where it was paused, because I don't know how to do that. Here is my code:

`import UIKit
import MagicTimer

class TimerVC: UIViewController {

var currentTaskDefaultTime = 10.0


@IBOutlet weak var timer: MagicTimerView!

@IBOutlet weak var startButton: UIButton!

@IBOutlet weak var pauseButton: UIButton!

@IBOutlet weak var stopButton: UIButton!

@IBAction func pressedStartButton(_ sender: Any) {
    startButton.isHidden = true
    pauseButton.isHidden = false
    stopButton.isHidden = false
    
    timer.mode = .countDown(fromSeconds: currentTaskDefaultTime)
    timer.isActiveInBackground = true
    timer.startCounting()
    
    
    
}

@IBAction func pressedPauseButton(_ sender: Any) {
    timer.stopCounting()
    startButton.isHidden = false
    completeTaskButton.isHidden = true
}

@IBAction func pressedStopButton(_ sender: Any) {
    timer.resetToDefault()
    startButton.isHidden = false
    pauseButton.isHidden = true
    stopButton.isHidden = true
}



override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    timer.font = UIFont(name: "Comfortaa-Semibold", size: 50)
    
    //hides by default the buttons
    pauseButton.isHidden = true
    stopButton.isHidden = true
}

}
`

Please help me

Sincerely yours
Nurlan

I have tried to use elapsedTime in the function pressedStartButton to continue running the timer from (default time - elapsedTime) if elapsedTime>0, but I get this error:

'elapsedTime' is inaccessible due to 'internal' protection level

Hi;
Your sample code is the same as the MagicTimer example please review the example. If the issue exists in the example re-open another issue.

If you want to resume timer just call startCounting() method.
