Hi Debuti, You might want to have a look at the code I wrote for NetSentry (http://code.google.com/p/netsentry/source/browse/trunk/src/com/ googlecode/netsentry/backend/scheduler/CronScheduler.java). I had the exact same problem and I wrote a scheduler myself. I copied the class for the cron expressions (CronExpression) from the OpenSymphony Quartz project (http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/). As far as I know, there's no way you can start the initial scheduling without user interaction, so you have to wait until the user opens an activity of your application for the first time. That's why I wrote a class that bootstraps the whole thing (Bootstrapper). This class I either call when the user opens NetSentry for the first time or when the phone reboots (look at the android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent). Hope this helps.
