repeatingalarm

Note: there is an update below. I've asked in the previous question about specifying a minute for an hourly repeat interval. However, I had two answers asking me to try the date component, and I did. Here it is: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications]; NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar] ; NSDateComponents *componentsForReferenceDate = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; [componentsForReferenceDate setHour:hour]; [componentsForReferenceDate setMinute:0]; [componentsForReferenceDate setSecond:0]; NSDate *fireDateOfNotification = [calendar

I am trying to start an alarm service that repeats every day at a particular time. I have gone through a lot of threads on stack overflow regarding this but no luck. I followed a few tutorials: http://karanbalkar.com/2013/07/tutorial-41-using-alarmmanager-and-broadcastreceiver-in-android/ and http://javatechig.com/android/repeat-alarm-example-in-android My service is never started and I do not understand why. Below is my code: My Manifest file: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses

I'm attempting to use a method to schedule monthly alarms described here: How to implement yearly and monthly repeating alarms? However I'm getting two errors on the lines: AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); and PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, stating "context cannot be resolved" and "context cannot be resolved to a variable" ...any suggestions on how this can be resolved? public class Alarm extends Service { // compat to support older devices @Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) { onStartCommand

I am trying to set a repeating alarm that will will download a file every minute but only between 8:00 and 22:00. I feel like I'm really close but I can't see the error I'm making. Currently the broadcast receiver is not activating. If set the repeating alarm manually to alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+10000, 60000,pendingIntent); it works fine. Any guidance would be much appreciated. protected void scheduleNextUpdate() { Intent intent = new Intent("TEST"); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG

after reading all the QA i didnt get any proper solution. I have 2 problems 1. Alarm fires twice even if i register my receiver only in manifest.(not by code) 2. when i update interval time of alarm it gets fires randomly here is my method for set alarm public void AlarmCall(int min) { Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class); PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,0 , intent, 0); alarm = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); cancelAlarm(alarm,pintent); if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<18) { alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, 1000 * 60 * min

alarm should repeat on monthly basis, once a month on same date for each month so on after its set like if i place alarm on october 31, then it should repeat on 31 of months having 31 days, as we don't have same number of days for each month I'am having trouble with figuring out the interval of this alarm, please help me how to figure out what this INTERVAL_Value has to be or how to handle it in another way alarmMgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_Value, alarmIntent); we can recieve currentMonth value from source and it is an integer if
