I'm trying to do an app that can execute some code at specific time (like a service) but time must be changed and setup by the app.
I don't want the whole answer, but i'm newbie, and if anybody knows the good way to acomplish it, and maybe some references i'll be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
Jeff Sharkey's android-sky App Widget includes an example of scheduling code to run at a certain time. It uses an AlarmManager to accomplish this.
Take a look at the Alarm Manager.

I would like to send a notification at a certain time (That I can specify) that can send even when the app is not in use. I have seen a few examples of this, but not in kivy. If anyone could give me some example code of this (in python and kivy) that would be great! Thanks in advance!
You'll want to look into making a background service for Android and the equivalent in ios. I've given a rough breakdown on how to do this in this thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/kivy/comments/asojmg/examples_of_kivy_with_service_backend/
If you want to do this on linux\pc\macos I'm not sure about that but I'm sure there's similar background services for them too.
I have a simple question, but couldn't find an answer.
So I want to test my app with different inputs.
I could just change them manually in the code, before I start my junit-test. But I would like to know if its possible to just start an other little app/activity where I can choose some inputs from a list and these choices should be used for my real app-test then.
Would be really nice, if someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried Robotium ? http://code.google.com/p/robotium/
It looks like it's exactly what you need.
I am creating an alarm app

Take a look at this tutorial. Go through it, try to figure it out, spend a lot of time on it. You learn best when you push yourself to your limit. Then when you are really stumped, come here and ask a specific question about how to do something. Then when someone gives a good response, accept their answer by clicking the check mark next to the answer. Good luck and welcome to Android!
I wanted to create a reminder app for my android. Actually I wanted to save reminders and the dates in the database and show the reimnder when the scheduled time is reached. Can anyone please suggest the code for this. Can alarms be given specific id at the time of saving and used to retrieve the specific reminder from database. I am new to android. Please help me.
Yes.. Your question is to broad for stackoverflow. But i would suggest you picking up a copy of Android For Dummies
This has a full tutorial of exactly what you are looking for.
You probably want to use Notifications in conjunction with the AlarmManager. There are lots of tutorials on the web that explain how to do this. Here is one: http://android.arnodenhond.com/tutorials/alarm-notification
I want to change the background image of the activity after every 30 seconds in android.
Does anyone know, how to accomplish this?
Thanks in Advance,

This is possible using a Handler. The Android developer guide has some information on how to update the UI using a timer. Hope you find this useful!
