TTimer Interval problem

[Gerbert]

Hello,

I use a TTimer component to do something every 5 min.
I have set the Interval to 300000.
The start event is fired when I enabled the timer.
After 5 minutes the timer event is fired.
Then after about each 1 minute the timer event is fired.
This is not correct because the interval is set on 300000.
I am using the Lazarus SVN deployment version (latest version) on Linux.
I am using FPC 2.6.0

Components like timers are highly operating system (and even widgetset) dependent. What are your testing conditions?

At least there is alternatives in this thread:

Using interval 1000 and using system time to see when 5 minutes have passed.

I am testing on Android 2.3.7 on a HTC Desire GSM.

@User137
I will try the given example. Thanks.

The timer is native from Android. You can always inspect the code to see if you find if I am doing something wrong, it is the java file in src/com/pascal/lcltest/ But it is probably just how the native timer works.
