Oh man, you want to set the alarm.
I think its not possible to set alarm on Nokia Clock app.
There was this discussion sometime ago and AFAI remember conclusion was that its still a feature in request.

If you could give try to miso alarm extension, maybe it can be helpful for your application.

What kind of alarm are you talking about?
Anyway, if you want to countdown minutes, one way to do it is like this:

import appuifw, e32, thread

app_lock=e32.Ao_lock()
def quit():
	app_lock.signal()
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler=quit

t=0

def f():
	global t
	while(t<3*60):  #3*60 is 3 minutes
		e32.ao_sleep(60)  #Wait 60 seconds
		t+=60
		print str(t/60)

thread.start_new_thread(f, ())  #Start a thread for this function so as not to block the rest of the program

app_lock.wait()

Hi McLightning,

Well, for the alarm issue I guess you could do an alarm inside your application. So it wouldn't depend on the native alarm. For doing this, check this article on the Wiki.

The code example is for 5th edition, but don't worry, it will work on 3rd too.

Hope I got your question!


BR,

Rafael.
