AlarmManager not working in several devices

Question

My app uses AlarmManager and it has been working since 4 years ago. But I noticed it started failing in some devices.

I\'m pretty sure code is right (I\'m using Wak

Answer 1

i stopped using AlarmManager a while ago... a better and more stable alternative

1. create a service
2. register a BroadcastReceiver for BOOT_COMPLETED
3. fire your service from the receiver
4. start a new Handler inside your service that loop itself every X minutes (Android - running a method periodically using postDelayed() call)
5. check if time to execute the task has come: now - execution time > 0 (How to find the duration of difference between two dates in java?)
6. if so.. execute the task and stop the handler

yes.. it's a pain..but the job get done NO MATTER WHAT
