[Obsolete("The legacy static Application object is going away.")]
public static object? AddTimeout(TimeSpan time, Func<bool> callback)

Parameters

time TimeSpan

The time span to wait before invoking the callback.

callback Func<bool>

The callback to invoke. If it returns true, the timeout will be reset and repeat. If it returns false, the timeout will stop and be removed.

Returns

When the time specified passes, the callback will be invoked on the main UI thread.
