BackgroundTimer.stopBackgroundTimer(); not working

Hello everyone. I am using react-native-background-timer. And I wanted to perform a function for once only. But the cross platform function BackgroundTimer.runBackgroundTimer() keeps executing the function after every interval. I tried stopping it from the function but it keeps executing the code. I dont know what I am doing wrong. I dont want to use other functions as they are platform dependent. I wanted to use this function because it is cross platform.

Note: I wanted to run the function for once only. My code;

`componentDidMount(){ BackgroundTimer.runBackgroundTimer(() => { this.deleteAll() }, 18000); }

deleteAll=()=>{ console.log(‘Deleted’) BackgroundTimer.stopBackgroundTimer();

}` Any other cross platform approach for executing the function ‘once’ only will be appreciated. Thanks

Will be waiting for reply.

 import { DeviceEventEmitter, 
 NativeAppEventEmitter, Platform } from 'react- 
  native';
 import BackgroundTimer from 'react-native-background-timer';

const EventEmitter = Platform.select({
ios: () => NativeAppEventEmitter
android: () => DeviceEventEmitter,
 })();

  class BackgroundTimer {
   static setTimeout(callback, delay) {
    BackgroundTimer.start();
    this.backgroundListener = 
     EventEmitter.addListener("backgroundTimer", () => {
       this.backgroundTimer = 
      BackgroundTimer.setTimeout(callback, delay);
    });
    return this.backgroundListener;
}

static clearTimeout(timer) {
    if (timer) timer.remove();
    if (this.backgroundTimer) BackgroundTimer.clearTimeout(this.backgroundTimer);
    BackgroundTimer.stop();
  }
}

  export default BackgroundTimer

Try with this:

   const backgroundTimeout = BackgroundTimer.setTimeout(callback, 1000);
   BackgroundTimer.clearTimeout(timer)
