Simaltaneous clocks

[Leon A]

I think I am misunderstanding the clock.

I can run one function just fine which updates a Label.

I am calling the recorder from android with Pyjnius 

with another clock schedule at the same time. 

This does not work both functions seem to be out of sink.

So I tried using threading to call the recorder function and 

it works in perfect sink but crashes when finished. This is

because when accessing the java classes the thread does not 

detach. 

Can I successfully implement this with Kivy Clock? 

This is the code without the recorder function using Pyjnius: http://pastebin.com/gSPvqQ67

Any help would be great thank you.

Thank you.

The code in this section works exactly as I want to.

Is there anybody who has a solution for my issue?

I am playing around with python signal alarm to see if i can get around it.

Thanks again.

Surely I am just using the clock wrong.

I have a button:
            on_press: root.call_lbl_update(), root.start_recording_audio()

both functions schedule clock.
the label update is scheduled every second so Clock.schedule_interval(call_lbl_update, 1)
the recorder is called once Clock.schedule_once(start_recording_audio)

I have tried just using he recorder function without the clock and with time.sleep()
the app does not crash but the recorder is called first finishes and then  the label updates
so totally out of sink.

Any clues guys and girls?

Sorry about my first reply, I wasn't thinking straight. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, but it seems like you are having problems using multithreading with kivy?

Can the code you pasted originally be used to trigger the problem?

Anyway, this might help you, I don't know...

Good luck :)
