Hi Mark,
I also need to develop same kind of functionality. I need to repeat my
alarm on every Monday at 09:00AM. I used the following code for that but I
am unable to repeat the alarms. Can you please help me that where I am
making mistake.
*Activity :-*
public class AndroidScheduledActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
int id = 115;
Intent myIntent;
PendingIntent pendingIntent;
AlarmManager alarmManager;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button buttonStart = (Button)findViewById(R.id.start);
myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), MyScheduledReceiver.class);
myIntent.putExtra("id", id);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), id,
myIntent, 0);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
buttonStart.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
setForMonday();
finish();
}});
}
public void setForMonday() {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,2);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR,09);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
System.out.println("Old is set@ :== " + calendar.getTime());
long interval = calendar.getTimeInMillis() + 604800000L;
System.out.println("Next Millis = " + interval);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
calendar.getTimeInMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);
}
}
*Receiver :-*
public class MyScheduledReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("Receiver");
}
}
