Step #1: Figure out the time you want the alarm to next be fired, in milliseconds since the epoch (i.e., System.currentTimeMillis() timebase) Step #2: Figure out the period in between the alarms in milliseconds Step #3: Use AlarmManager to register a RTC or RTC_WAKEUP alarm that will issue a PendingIntent using those two values -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
