Mark,
I found a pieces of codes in Android, as below:
//
com.android.server.BackupManagerService.startBackupAlarmsLocked(long)
mAlarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, when,
BACKUP_INTERVAL + random.nextInt(FUZZ_MILLIS),
mRunBackupIntent);
// where BACKUP_INTERVAL is declared as
private static final long BACKUP_INTERVAL =
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_HOUR;
So, I just wonder, why "7*INTERVAL_DAY" not work as weekly but daily?
Is "INTERVAL_DAY" the max interval can be set on "setRepeating()"?
