I want to disable a “button”, when click on it and enable it back after 30 seconds.
I design it using “wait” command.
But the “button” I mentioned above enable automatically without any time deletion when I go back to the home screen of my app or close the app.
After that I tried it by using timer component. but same thing happened. may be I didn’t set the blocks of time component correctly.
Please help me on this matter. 
Did you try to store timer value as a variable?
Disabling a button when clicked would look something like this:
You are saying you are having issues? Can you elaborate more on this or explain what happens after the button is clicked?
(edit)
You can use 2 timers if you are going to be switching through screens. See below how to achieve this:
This works for me when switching between screens.
Let me know how you get on with this

when app is closed does the timer still work?
yes!
I checked the timer value by click on a button.
then i see when i go to a another screen and come back the timer get paused. after it’s continued.
how to make a timer still running while I go to a another screen?
Edit
now timer get reset when navigate through screens
Guess I better fix that!
Basically. You save
Seconds since 1970
Then reference how many seconds have passed since you last checked.
Divide by 60.
That’s how many minutes.
thanks and got the idea.
but problem is how to stop timer get reset when navigate through screens.
If a timer isn’t set to loop it stops after the set interval. So if your interval is 30 seconds, you start the timer, it runs for 30 seconds then stops. If you start it again its back to zero, providing count up is disabled.
tried but not worked
@jared’s example of using time since 1970 would enable you to have a makeshift timer even when the app is closed. What isn’t working for you?

Just for you @iqbandara11xvit!!
Dear jared,
thank you very much for support on this matter.
I studied your blocks and got a better idea about the concept.
without those blocks i couldn’t solve the problem.
also thank you eoinparkinson. 
Thanks everyone for getting help on this issue.
Both jared’s and iqbandara11xvit’s solutions are worked.
HI eoinparkinson,
I tried this way. but not worked.
Hi @Rumesh,
Apologies about that. Jared’s example should work fine for you.
It’s ok.
but I got a better idea about your concept.
thanks.
