I am working on Calender Events reminder . There is no native Calender events reminder in Android so user install different calender apps. Now these apps can be different on reminding events like on reminder notifications can be shown.

I upvoted Karakuri's answer to compensate reputation. Scenario:--- I want to make the user click a

I am developing an alarm application. From the main activity i set the alarm using broadcast. Then in onReceive in broadcast receiver i call activity that is enabling user to shut down or snooze the alarm...In that activity, in the beginning of onCreate i use this lines to turn screen on and unlock the device: final Window win = getWindow(); win.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD); win.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON); This works perfect on Samsung

What are the parameters of the following: alarmMgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES, alarmIntent); And of the following: alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent); What is the difference and also how are the two different in terms of functionality? Both examples schedule a repeating alarm that will send the given alarmIntent . On both cases, the first time it is sent will be immediate ( calendar.getTimeInMillis() returns the current time ). On

I am developing an alarm based application, in which i have to repeat the alarm for every weekday like (every monday, tuesday, wednesday) based on user input. I used this snippet Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, id, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmToSetInMilliSeconds, sender); If user selects every monday means, i found the milliseconds more to next monday date and i set an alarm, and its working

I've made an app that always worked until Android 6.0. I think it's the Doze feature that it's not allowing my Alarm to fire. I use sharedpreferences to handle the options: //ENABLE NIGHT MODE TIMER int sHour = blockerTimerPreferences.getInt("sHour", 00); int sMinute = blockerTimerPreferences.getInt("sMinute", 00); Calendar sTime = Calendar.getInstance(); sTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, sHour); sTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, sMinute); Intent enableTimer = new Intent(context, CallReceiver.class); enableTimer.putExtra("activate", true); PendingIntent startingTimer = PendingIntent.getBroadcast
