Accepted Answer

you can do something like this, as you gone through the kitchen sink app for background process. so create a JS file say x.js, just do. 

function myFunc()
{
    //your code
}
 
//set the interval
 
setInterval(myFunc,2000) //this will run the function for every 2 sec.
//now in you app.js

var service = Ti.App.iOS.registerBackgroundService({url:'x.js'}); you are good to go..

  • you can apply the commonJS approach like say you have file alpha.js where your function is there.

    do like this 

    exports.myFunct = function()
{
    //your code
}
    now in your x.js which I describe above write this 
    var callMyFunction = require('alpha');
 
function callFunction()
{
    callMyFunction.myFunct();
}
 
setInterval(callFunction,2000);
