I am currently trying to create a repeating alarm that goes off at the same time everyday following a tutorial however I cannot seem to get it working. It goes off but as soon as the application launches instead of the set time I am not sure what the reason is. I also made sure the service was declared in manifest. Any idea where I am going wrong or if this the right way to go about something like this?
Main acitivty
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
int i = preferences.getInt("numberofLaunces", 1);
if (i < 2) {
alarmMethod();
i++;
editor.putInt("numberoflaunches", i);
editor.commit();
}
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
return;
}
}
private void alarmMethod() {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, NotifyService.class);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, myIntent, 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 32);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.AM);
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 0);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "start Alarm", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Notifyservice
public class NotifyService extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent Intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(){
Uri sound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationManager mNM = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent1 = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent1,0);
Notification mNotify = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("placeholder tital")
.setContentText("Placeholder text")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_cat)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.setSound(sound)
.addAction(0,"hello", pIntent)
.build();
mNM.notify(1, mNotify);
}
}
From developer [site](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html#set(int, long, android.app.PendingIntent))
The alarm is an Intent broadcast that goes to a broadcast receiver that you registered with registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter) or through the tag in an AndroidManifest.xml file.
You should define broadcast pending intent instead of service.
Change this
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, NotifyService.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, myIntent, 0);
To this
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, MyAlarmBroadcastReceiver.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, myIntent, 0);
Then implement MyAlarmBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver class and fire notification inside onReceive().
The problem is quite simple: If the time a alarm should fire (the second parameter in setRepeating()) is in the past, it will fire immediately. The time you specified is 0:32 am in the night of the 0th (?) day of the month.
This is always in the past (maybe except for 32 minutes every month, though I don't know what the 0th day of the month is).
To fire the alarm every 24 hours at the time of 0:32 am use something like this:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 32);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.AM);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, new Date().after(calendar.getTime()) ? 1 : 0); //if the current time is after 0:32 am, one day is added
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, pendingIntent);

I need to setup an Alarm in some interval of times. To achieve it I wrote:
TestFragment class
private void setupAlarmManager(){
AlarmManager manager = manager = (AlarmManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(getContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getContext(), i, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,1499510100000L, pendingIntent);
manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,1499510220000L, pendingIntent);
}
AlarmReceiver class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "I'm running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I put the debug point at Toast.makeText(context, "I'm running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); but nothing happened.
4PM = 1499510100000L
4:03PM = 1499510220000L
What Am I doing wrong here? Further I want to add a Local notification in onReceive method.
You should use a Calendar object to set up the alarm time.
For an alarm at 4PM you could do something like:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 16);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND,0);
Then you set up your AlarmManager as you already did but for the last line use:
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
Maybe you want to use a repeating Alarm or even a Handler
If so you should visit: https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/alarms.html
I want use String start = "16:00"; in specific time, start another activity.
I must use String start = "16:00"
MainActivity.class
String start = "16:00";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setAlarmTime(this);
}
private void setAlarmTime(Context context) {
String[] strStart = start.split(":") // delete ":"
Calendar cal_start = Calendar.getInstance();
cal_start.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(strStart[0])); // hour
cal_start.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(strStart[1])); //minute
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmActivity.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC, cal_start.getTimeInMillis(), pIntent);
}
I want while the app is running, current time 4 o'clock , start AlarmActivity.class .
But it does not work.
How to every specific time start another activity on android?
#update
private void setAlarmTime(Context context) {
String[] strStart = start.split(":");
Calendar cal_start = Calendar.getInstance();
cal_start.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(strStart[0]));
cal_start.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(strStart[1]));
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal_start.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
this source not work.
not work alarmManager.
Please consider to use AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP if you need to wake up the device even if it goes off.
alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal_start.getTimeInMillis(), pIntent);
AlarmManager.RTC will NOT wake the device up.
Reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html#RTC
Btw, you do not need to pass the context reference to method:
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this /*can use this as it is a context already */ , 0, intent, 0);
Update:
Please also set the second and millisecond of the cal_start; otherwise it will be the values that you get the calendar instance.
cal_start.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
cal_start.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
Update 2:
It works in my side, you may try to add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
in Manifests.
Btw, if you want this alarm repeat every day
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal_start.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pIntent);
Add this permission in your manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
register your receiver class in the application tag in the manifest file
<receiver android:name=".AlarmActivity" />
Resister your alarm that will trigger AlarmActivity at a specific time in your case its 16:00
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 16);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 100, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
Make sure your register class extend BroadcastReceiver like this
class AlarmActivity extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Do whatever you want
// you can generate notifications here
// or can start your application activity you want
}
}
I am developing the schedule notification for Android. It is successfully get notification at scheduled time but also get notification at the time when the application startup which I do not want. Here are my codes.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
prefs= PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
show = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
View btn_failure = findViewById(R.id.btn_failure_id);
btn_failure.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_unhappy = findViewById(R.id.btn_unhappy_id);
btn_unhappy.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_chicken_soup = findViewById(R.id.btn_soup_id);
btn_chicken_soup.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_no_motivation = findViewById(R.id.btn_no_id);
btn_no_motivation.setOnClickListener(this);
// createScheduledNotification(9,0);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
time = prefs.getString("noti", "9:00");
String[] pieces=time.split(":");
hour = Integer.parseInt(pieces[0]);
minute = Integer.parseInt(pieces[1]);
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",true);
createScheduleNotification(hour,minute,onOff);
}
public void createScheduleNotification(int hour, int minute, boolean onOff){
if(onOff){
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(MainActivity.this.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, getPendingIntent(this));
}else{
AlarmManager mgr=(AlarmManager)this.getSystemService(this.ALARM_SERVICE);
mgr.cancel(getPendingIntent(this));
}
}
private PendingIntent getPendingIntent(Context ctxt) {
Intent intent1 = new Intent(ctxt, TimeAlarm.class);
intent1.putStringArrayListExtra("quotes",quote_chicken_soup);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctxt, 0,intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
return pendingIntent;
}
public class TimeAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
private String daily_quote = "testing";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent paramIntent) {
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context,DisplayActivity.class);
intent.putStringArrayListExtra("quote",paramIntent.getStringArrayListExtra("quotes"));
daily_quote = paramIntent.getStringArrayListExtra("quotes").get(0);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 1, intent, 0);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setTicker("Daily Quote");
builder.setContentTitle("Daily Quote");
builder.setContentText(daily_quote);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
builder.setSubText("Be Happy! Have a nice day!"); //API level 16
}
Notification myNotication = builder.getNotification();
manager.notify(11, myNotication);
}
}
Where is the problem that cause the notification being push when app startup?
There seems nothing wrong in your code.
Issue with notification being pushed up at startup is surely because of AlarmManager code.
From your code snippet, I hard coded the setting of time as below, and it runs as expected . First time it triggers in one minute after the system clock and then every 2 minutes there after.
// first time set to-- trigger after one minute from now
long firstTimeTriggerAt = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000 * 60 * 1;
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(MainActivity.this.ALARM_SERVICE);
//Repeat the alaram every two minutes
long interval = 1000 * 60 * 2;
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,firstTimeTriggerAt, interval, getPendingIntent(this));
So you need to check the constant values for time, which you are setting in Shared preference.
Just FYI , the code runs well with RTC_WAKEUP constant also.
Hope this helps.
in onResume() change
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",true);
to
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",false);
I'm making an app which uses an AlarmManager and a Broadcast Receiver to generate a notification everyday at 8:20 AM.
One issue which I'm facing is that every time I open the app after 8:20 AM, the notification is generated.
I guess this is because I have called the receiver in the onCreate() method.
Is there a way to make sure that the receiver is registered only once?
Here is my code :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
AlarmManager alarmManager;
private PendingIntent alarmIntent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, intent, 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 00);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,30);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent);
}
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Toast.makeText(context,"Alarm Raised",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent1 = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
PendingIntent pendingIntent=PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0,intent1,0);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_account_circle_black_18dp);
builder.setContentTitle("Tracker");
builder.setContentText("Turn on Gps");
builder.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
builder.setLights(0x0000FF,3000,2000);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
notificationManager.notify(56, builder.build());
}
}
The second parameter of setInexactRepeating indicates that when should the AlarmManager start its task. So if you give it a time in past it will fire once immediately. You must check if the calendar.getTimeInMillis() is before now and add a day to it if so.
So you should simply change this part of your code
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent);
to this:
long timeToStart = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
if(System.currentTimeMillis() < timeToStart){
timeToStart += 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // one day
}
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeToStart, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent);
I'm testing AlarmManager to use in my app, and it is firing my Broadcast Receiver immediately when I want it to fire after 1 minute. The code is below:
public class SetMealTimersActivity extends Activity {
PendingIntent pi;
BroadcastReceiver br;
AlarmManager am;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_set_meal_timers);
br = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i) {
Toast.makeText(c, "Ready to Go!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
};
registerReceiver(br, new IntentFilter("com.ian.mealtimer"));
pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(
"com.ian.mealtimer"), 0);
am = (AlarmManager) (this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE));
am.set( AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() +
60 * 1000, pi );
}
try :
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis()+60*1000, pendingIntent);
it is working for me.
If using an exact alarm, make sure it's time is in the future. Otherwise it will fire immediately.
Try changing SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() to System.currentTimeMillis() and AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP to AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP.
Try to use AlarmManager.setExact(int, long, PendingIntent) if you use Android API > 18 or compile with API < 19, because the time management for this methods changed with API 19. Maybe that helps. Read the documentation for more information.
make id for pendingIntent as this
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 999123266,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
All example
public void setAlarm_sat(int dayOfWeek1) {
cal1.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, dayOfWeek);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RemmemberActivity.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 999123266,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Long alarmTime = cal1.getTimeInMillis();
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
alarmTime,7*24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
pendingIntent);
// am.set(AlarmManager.RTC, cal1.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}
