Hello, I need to set a bunch of alarm times inside an application which uses an SQLite database to store them. When the user changes data in the application the data is written to the SQLite database and the RTC timer is set via AlarmManager to the earliest of all those alarm times. When each timer expires I need to display a popup window with a message from the database and reset the timer to the next alarm time. However I have the following problem: I've read that when the user powers off the device all programmed timers are lost. So I need to set them up at boot time. If any were missed then I need to display a popup window immediately. For this I have found the following code snippet which seems appropriate for my case:
http://www.androidsnippets.com/autostart-an-application-at-bootup My problems are the following: 1. How do I reboot the emulator? I have tried adb reboot but after unmounting some stuff from the filesystem the emulator freezes and I have to click the X in the upper right hand corner in the titlebar to close and then launch the emulator again from the AVD Manager. I have tried the power button on the emulator but the device just goes back to locked mode. Is the device rebooted when I press the power button on the emulator? Why is adb reboot freezing it? What am I doing wrong? 2. When I follow the code snippet, as soon as I unlock the device I get the ususal error message that my application has stopped unexpectedly, but then when I start it from the launcher I can run it no problem. So if launching a window as opposed to starting a service at boot time is bound to produce this problem (unless there is a way to fix it) then how can I display the alarms that expired when the user had the phone powered off when the application boots?
