Hello,
Well, at last here is my solution: I convert my object array to string
array, put it in a bundle,
put the bundle in the intent extras, and create the pending intent: The
string array contains
all the fields of all the objects I need to pass. Then I undo them when I
receive them in the
application I launch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putStringArray("alarmMessages",
AlarmMessage.toStringArray(alarmMessages));
intent.putExtra("alarmMessages", b);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctx, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(),
pendingIntent);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then inside my broadcast receiver:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("AlarmReceiver", "received");
Intent i = new Intent(context, AlarmExpiredActivity.class);
i.putExtra("alarmMessages", intent.getBundleExtra("alarmMessages"));
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then to reset the alarm inside my fired application:
Bundle b = getIntent().getBundleExtra("alarmMessages");
String[] alarmMessagesStr = b.getStringArray("alarmMessages");
this.alarmMessages = AlarmMessage.fromStringArray(alarmMessagesStr);
and then display the messages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,
Regards,
Feedback welcome,
