setinterval not working

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I have the following code: 

var c = null;
    c = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
 
 
    var url = 'example.com';
    c.open('GET', url);
    Titanium.API.log('info', url);
 
    c.onload = function() 
    {
        Titanium.API.log('info', 'onload');
 
        setInterval(getPeople(), 5000);
    };
    c.send();
The code should access the getPeople() function every 5 seconds, but it does not. In fact, the application exists prematurely.

what Im I doing wrong?

Exactly right Alexander. And just to complete the answer:

// Store so we can clearInterval(peopleInt); later
var peopleInt = setInterval(getPeople, 5000);
If you need to call your function with some arguments, you can wrap it in an anon function:
var peopleInt = setInterval(function() { getPeople(arg) }, 5000);

You need to pass a reference, if you put parenthesis you execute the function directly.

// Store so we can clearInterval(peopleInt); later
var peopleInt = setInterval(getPeople, 5000);

Hello, Try this :

I think you need to write function name in quotes.

setInterval("getPeople()", 5000);
