Sorry,
I have a class that extends BroadcastReceiver, this class has a method
called:
startService
The first time I kick off the alarm I call this directly from my
activity, then for successive calls, it is called from the "onReceive"
method.
Thank you,
Simon

You do not indicate where you are doing this work. Is it in the
BroadcastReceiver or elsewhere?

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
