I am creating a widget that uses a service to retrieve an arrayList of items. I wanted the widget to flip through these items it retrieved about every 10 secs. In addition I wanted the widget to go our and retrieve a new set of these items on a daily basis.
So what I have done was create two different alarm managers. One that sets an alarm every 10 secs and will update the remote view to the next item. The other alarm was setup for just after midnight the next day - this will retrieve the next set of items. The problem with this solution is that the RTC alarm set for ever 10 secs is going to drain the heck out of a users battery. It doesn't appear to sleep much if at all - probably because something else is using the cpu keeping it awake. How can I achieve this cycling of items that is already download automatically? If you are familiar with the google reader widget, this is what I am trying to achieve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
