Yes it would work but its not as safety as a normal variable in the method. Is it possible to transport the variable into the timeout handler?

Wouldn't a global variable work?

Hi Ole,

Yes you are right ths was my Problem. My Problem is that i don't know how to transport Data From the Timer Call into the Timeouthandler. Maybe you can give my an excample because then i don't need the global variable.

best regards Nils

Yes, this should be perfectly possible. All context-sensitive handling inside app_timer is done in a software triggered interrupt, so it doesn't matter from which context you call it.

You should however consider the size of your APP_TIMER_OP_QUEUE_SIZE if you do this a lot. See this question for details.
