Hi there, Both as an exercise and because I've not yet found a simple app that does this already, I'm trying to develop a widget that displays the next alarm set by the standard Alarm Clock application.
I've found that you can get an already formatted String of this time using: Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED); but I have a few problems with this: 1. The String it returns is already formatted, but in a way I don't want. So, I'd have to do some rather nasty String splits and manipulations to reformat it how I want. Ideally I'd like to get this time in millis/seconds since epoch, or as a Date object. 2. I've read that this value is easily overwritten by any app for any purpose - if this is the case, it's not exactly reliable. 3. It's stopped working for me! (It's now returning a blank (not null) String, despite there being alarms set). I guess if nothing better is available to get this information, this will become a debugging assistance discussion :-). Is there a better, more reliable way to get the date/time of the next Alarm set? Thanks, Mark. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
