I have this code which runs a notification everyday at 7am, it gets the current date and then runs the notification when it gets to the set hour, my problem is if the time h
Updated @Paulw11 's answer to Swift 3.0 and wrapped up in a function:
/// Set up the local notification for everyday
/// - parameter hour: The hour in 24 of the day to trigger the notification
class func setUpLocalNotification(hour: Int, minute: Int) {
// have to use NSCalendar for the components
let calendar = NSCalendar(identifier: .gregorian)!;
var dateFire = Date()
// if today's date is passed, use tomorrow
var fireComponents = calendar.components( [NSCalendar.Unit.day, NSCalendar.Unit.month, NSCalendar.Unit.year, NSCalendar.Unit.hour, NSCalendar.Unit.minute], from:dateFire)
if (fireComponents.hour! > hour
|| (fireComponents.hour == hour && fireComponents.minute! >= minute) ) {
dateFire = dateFire.addingTimeInterval(86400) // Use tomorrow's date
fireComponents = calendar.components( [NSCalendar.Unit.day, NSCalendar.Unit.month, NSCalendar.Unit.year, NSCalendar.Unit.hour, NSCalendar.Unit.minute], from:dateFire);
}
// set up the time
fireComponents.hour = hour
fireComponents.minute = minute
// schedule local notification
dateFire = calendar.date(from: fireComponents)!
let localNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.fireDate = dateFire
localNotification.alertBody = "Record Today Numerily. Be completely honest: how is your day so far?"
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendar.Unit.day
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification);
}
