Android - Alarm manager runs every day

Question

I don\'t understand what\'s wrong but my alarm runs every single day even if I hardcode the day number, I have no idea whats going on...

Intent notificationInten         


        

Answer 1

Why is this line necessary?

calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());

Also, the android development documentation recommends using

setInexactRepeating(int type, long triggerAtMillis, long intervalMillis, PendingIntent operation);

EDIT: I suspect the intent isn't set for creating alarms so it's not creating the alarms correctly. Maybe this would work:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
//set repeating alarm here

I hope that answers the question.
