You'll need to track that yourself in your database, for two reasons: 1. To provide the UI that you describe above 2. To handle the case where the phone is rebooted, since AlarmManager alarms do not persist past a reboot Reason #2 typically requires you to implement a boot-time BroadcastReceiver, so you can get control and re-establish your alarms from your database. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.3 Available!
