Can anyone give me a solution please,
Thanks

you can use AlarmManager to ringing or notify user at particular time.
private AlarmManager alarmManager;
private static Intent alarmIntent;
private static PendingIntent pendingAlarmIntent;
public void setTimings(){
private Calender alarmCalender = Calendar.getInstance();
alarmCalender.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
alarmCalender.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, "hour"); // hour=07
alarmCalender.set(Calendar.MINUTE, "minute"); // minute=01
alarmCalender.set(Calendar.SECOND, "second"); // second=0
alarmCalender.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, "millisecond");//millisecond=0
setAlarm(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmCalender, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY);
}
public void setAlarm(int type, Calendar calendar, long timeInMillis){
alarmIntent = new Intent(context, yourBroadcastReciever.class);
pendingAlarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, Constant.ALARM_REQUEST_CODE, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(type, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), timeInMillis, pendingAlarmIntent);
}
To handle the alarm at particular time you create the Reciever
yourBroadcastReciever.class
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// here you handle the task when alarm ringing
}
[Note: Intent and Pending Intent is compulsory for create an Alarm]

use a broadcast receiver and set the time which you are getting.

When the app is running, I go to the settings and change the Timezone to such a value so that the current date will change. Now when we select any date in the dialog, it behaves abnormally and goes to other date. I have used setMinDate() and setMaxDate() methods. This happens only in Android OS 5.1.
Any idea or help? Thanks in advance.

How to start an Alarm at specific Date and Time?

How to start an alarm at specific time and date, Where i got time and date using TimePicker and DatePicker . Even i can start an alarm at user specified time,but i can't do it for at user specified date. How can i reach my goal?
The code which i have already done.

For Example:
i would like to set an alarm on 05-04-2013 12:00 pm .. How can i achieve that ??

AlarmManager:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
long when =0;
intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("eventName", eventName);
intent.putExtra("eventDescription",eventDescription);
// Get the AlarmManager service
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
RadioGroup rg=(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.Setting_rgRepeatMode);
selectedRadio=(RadioButton)findViewById(rg.getCheckedRadioButtonId());
long repeatTime=0;
cal.set(mYear,mMonth,mDay,mHour,mMinute,0);
intent.putExtra("Flag",true);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
when=cal.getTimeInMillis();
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,when, pendingIntent);
return;
BroadCastReceiver:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
try {
//Here you can write your logic
Toast.makeText(context,bundle.getString("eventName"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
NotificationManager notificationManager =(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int icon = R.drawable.event;
CharSequence notiText = "Event Notification";
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, notiText,time);
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, Setting.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context,intent.getStringExtra("eventName"),intent.getStringExtra("eventDescription"), contentIntent);
int SERVER_DATA_RECEIVED = 1;
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
Toast.makeText(context,"aavechhe "+intent.getBooleanExtra("Flag",false),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if(intent.getIntExtra("month",0)==cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH))
{
Toast.makeText(context,"aavechhe "+cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notificationManager.notify(SERVER_DATA_RECEIVED, notification);
}
if(intent.getBooleanExtra("Flag",false))
notificationManager.notify(SERVER_DATA_RECEIVED, notification);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "There was an error somewhere, but we still received an alarm", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}

Here is how I set a logout alarm for 5 minutes from now
Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
cal1.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 5);
you can do more with the date using the methods and fields available in Calendar. For example:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstanc();
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, JANUARY);
to set the month. Check that link and you can see all the different ways that you can set it. Use set() to set the field (month, day, etc...) and use add() to add to the field. This should help you get started anyway
Edit
Wherever you set your pending intent just use these variables you have set as the values
private void updatedate() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
c.set(Calendar.Month, month); // `c` is the `Calendar` instance you defined earlier. Now we are setting the month on that instance
c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, date);
}
then when you click your Button
b2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
long alarmTime = cal.getTimeInMillis(); // convert your calendar instance with the dates set to millis
Intent i = new Intent(AlarmClock.ACTION_SET_ALARM);
i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_MESSAGE, "New Alarm");
i.putExtra("alarmTime", alarmTime); //"alarmTime" will be used to get the time to set the alarm in your AlarmClock class
startActivity(i);
}});
And the rest you know how to do if you are already setting a time. Hope this helps you

My child Activity does not send result back to parent

I am attempting to create a ToDo list for a class that I am in, and how I have the app is that I have an EditText on top to enter an item in the TDL. and then I am using an extended tablelayout to display the items. I also have a button that calls to a second activity that then has 2 other buttons to get the time and date to (hopefully) display on the TDL item after I hit the Done button on the button (where I would like to go back to the main activity) So far I am testing this on an AVD.
So what I think my issue is that I dont think my second activity is passing back the info that I want. According to the debugger, the onActivityResults method from the first one gets called earlier than the second activity gets called.
Here is the first Activity:
package com.parrishb.todo;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ToDoActivity extends Activity {
SharedPreferences pref;
public final static int ACTIVITY =1;
public static Globals g;
public ToDoView tdv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_to_do);
final EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
Button mPickDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickDate);
tdv = (ToDoView)findViewById(R.id.tdv);
myEditText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getAction()== KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
if((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER) || (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)){
tdv.addRow(ToDoActivity.this, myEditText.getText().toString());
myEditText.setText("");
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
// CLick listener for the date/time button
mPickDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivityForResult(new Intent(ToDoActivity.this, DatePickerActivity.class), ACTIVITY);
}
});
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode== RESULT_OK && requestCode== ACTIVITY){
String append= (new StringBuilder().append(data.getStringExtra("Time"))
.append(" ").append(data.getStringExtra("Date")).toString());
tdv.editRow(ToDoActivity.this, append);
}
}
}
Here is my second activity:

I had scratched the second activity and brought the date and time picker into the main activity.

How to set the date from DatePicker dialog for multiple calls

Good day, can't seem to find a solution for this. i have 2 buttons that when pressed, opens a datepickerdialog, but my problem now is , how can i set them to the appropriate button on OnDateSet method. I am using a DialogFragment for the date and then implementing the DateListener in my activity. I have tried using getTag() but no success in getting the tag. here is what i tried:
public void showfromDatePickerDialog(View v) {
DialogFragment dateFragment = new DateDialogFragment();
dateFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "fromdatePicker");
}
public void showtoDatePickerDialog(View v) {
DialogFragment dateFragment = new DateDialogFragment();
dateFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "todatePicker");
}
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append(day).append("-")
.append(month).append("-")
.append(year);
String text= builder.toString();
if(view.getTag().toString().equals("fromdatePicker")) { // error here
Log.d(TAG, "got here" + text);
fromdate.setText(text);
}
if(view.getTag() == "todatePicker") {
todate.setText(text);
}
any ideas how to implement this? i keep seeing solutions about using 2 different DialogFragment class but am guessing there should be another way. or am i wrong? Thank you

ok, i have a work around for these. which can be helpful for anyone with this problem. if its slightly incorrect please let me know and i can change it. but this is what i did to solve this issue.
in on DateSet:
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append(day).append("-")
.append(month).append("-")
.append(year);
String text= builder.toString();
FragmentManager fragmanager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if(fragmanager.findFragmentByTag("fromdatePicker") != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "got here" + text);
fromdate.setText(text);
}
// if(view.getTag() == "todatePicker") {
if(fragmanager.findFragmentByTag("todatePicker") != null) {
todate.setText(text);
}
that way you can use the same dateListener for multiple calls and set the date appropriately based on the tag that was passed when calling show on the dialog.

Use below code of DatePicker Dialog.
private int mYear;
private int mMonth;
private int mDay;
Calendar cal4DatePicker = Calendar.getInstance();
Button btnDOB=findviewbyId(R.id.btndob);
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
mYear = year;
mMonth = monthOfYear;
mDay = dayOfMonth;
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.YEAR, mYear);
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.MONTH, mMonth);
cal4DatePicker.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, mDay);
btnDOB.setText(new StringBuilder()
.append(mDay).append("-").append(mMonth).append("-").append(mYear).append(" "));
}
};
on btnDOB you need to set click listner to show this DatePicker Dialog.

I have try same thing with Time Picker only. You can try out and set same for date picker also.
