alarm

I am writing a social cloud game for Android and using PHP on the server. Almost all aspects of the game will be user or user-device driven, so most of the time the device will send a request to the server and the server will, in turn, send a response to the device. Sometimes the server will also send out push messages to the devices, but generally in response to one user's device contacting the server. There is one special case, however, where a user can set a "timer" and, after the given time has elapsed, the server needs to send the push messages to all of the devices. One way to do this

My code: Calendar calSet = Calendar.getInstance(); calSet.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 11); calSet.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 20); calSet.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); calSet.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); PendingIntent pi=PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,0,myIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,calSet.getTimeInMillis(),pi); and say, I'm executing at 11:30. Alarm triggers immediately (which is expected). But, for the same when I use alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager

I have a producer sending durable messages to a RabbitMQ exchange. If the RabbitMQ memory or disk exceeds the watermark threshold, RabbitMQ will block my producer. The documentation says that it stops reading from the socket, and also pauses heartbeats. What I would like is a way to know in my producer code that I have been blocked. Currently, even with a heartbeat enabled, everything just pauses forever. I'd like to receive some sort of exception so that I know I've been blocked and I can warn the user and/or take some other action, but I can't find any way to do this. I am using both the

I am using the sample code(Scheduler.zip) available on the Android developer training website- http://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/index.html Here's the code:- MainActivity.java /* * Copyright 2013 The Android Open Source Project * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. * You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS"

My app requires very accurate timing of a repeating alarm. Since API 19 the AlarmManager setRepeating is now inexact to save battery ( Save the trees and all ). Is there any workaround to get API 19's setExact method to work on a loop? Note: as of API 19, all repeating alarms are inexact. If your application needs precise delivery times then it must use one-time exact alarms, rescheduling each time as described above. Legacy applications whose targetSdkVersion is earlier than API 19 will continue to have all of their alarms, including repeating alarms, treated as exact. Is there any workaround
