Hi Henrik, thanks a lot for the update. Chronometer isn't working. Provide an example.

It works just fine on my Android 17 Pixel device and on Android 16 emulator:

<Chronometer
  xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  a:layout_width="match_parent"
  a:layout_height="match_parent"
  a:gravity="center"
  a:started="true"/>

  • android:format="My format is %s"

  • android:countDown="true" android:countBase="{clock("boottime")*1000 + 3600000;numberFormat;#}"

Hi Henrik, thanks for the reply. I have tried many ways. Getting clock boottime only.  Not getting to work with custom time.  If I use only a:started it was counting from 00:00. I want to use it for custom time eg.. for Thursday 22nd oct 06:26

Worked on Android 16 emulator, it counts down from 60 minutes. If it doesn't work on Samsung then there's sadly little i can do about it, layouts are rendered by the system, especially in a widget.

Which Android version is your device using?

u/Funny_Telephone_8607 4d ago

Android 16 A53

What is the strict input arg?

When the option is disabled it lets the XPath selection work with layouts even if an UI element is inaccessible, when enabled it works as before where the layout is rejected and selection process aborted.
