I am scheduling an event with the AlarmManager: PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 12345, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); am.cancel(sender); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, lngNextUpdate, sender);
The only reason I call the "cancel" method is just incase the user edits the action and needs to reschedule the event. Once the alarm has been scheduled it runs every hour for a time, each time the alarm expires I call: PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE); m_wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK, "wprotatorReciever" ); perform my logic and reschedule next alarm and end with: m_wl.release(); Calling the release throws an exception, even though "m_wl" is valid. The problem is that for some reason the alarm stops re-scheduling itself after a number of runs and I have no idea why, if I go into the application and kick it off again it resumes without fault. What am I missing? Thank you, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
