I am using the alarm manager to call a service at a later time where I want
to update a file at a user specified time. That mechanism works fine. What
i need to do now is pass to the service which alarm has called it as I have
multiple alarms with different intents which needs to do different things
at different times.
I understand how to pass extras with bundles, but it doesnt seem to work
with services. I cant pass anything to it this way, I keep getting null as
what was passed from the activity to the service.
Here is my activity code for 1 alarm.
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, TimerService.class); Bundle bundle = new
Bundle();
bundle.putString("extraData", "FIRST_ALARM");
myIntent.putExtras(bundle); PendingIntent AmPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, Time2fire, fONCE_PER_DAY,
AmPendingIntent);
Service Code:
super.onStart(intent, startId); String bundleFromActivity =
intent.getStringExtra("extraData");
At this point my bundleFromActivity string is always null. Im sure this is
a simple problem and im missing something about the services. Thanks in
advance for any help.
