I want to set two alarms through my application. I have two controls to set them. But when I set one alarm and then another, then the last alarm set works only and previous get cancelled. What is the way to keep their pending intents separate? How can I do this?

I like to create multiple alarms, but i does not work. how to set and how to request in my receiver what alarm intent came activated.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo far and thanks to this website, I've been able to set up an alarm that will be set up and active, even if I turn of my phone. Now, I set up a alarm to show a reminder for event A and I need the application to setup another alarm to show another reminder for event B. I must be doing something wrong, because it only fires the reminder for event A. It seems that once set up, any other alarm is understood as the same one.

intent.setData((Uri.parse("custom://"+SystemClock.elapsedRealtime ()))); long firstAlarmMillis = getFirstTimeAlarm(mYear, mMonth, mDay, mHour, mMinute); intent.putExtra("timeInMillis", firstAlarmMillis); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast (getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0); //Log.d("tiven", "despues de la alarma"+firstAlarmMillis); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService (ALARM_SERVICE); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, firstAlarmMillis, sender);
You have to set a parameter to differ intents, or else you won't be able to hable them in a broadcast receiver.
I am setting multiple alarms like this, with different values of id. Multiple calls to AlarmManager.setRepeating deliver the same Intent/PendingIntent extra values, but I supplied different ones.
AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(
Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent i = new Intent(MyReceiver.ACTION_ALARM);
// "com.example.ALARM" i.putExtra(MyReceiver.EXTRA_ID, id);
// "com.example.ID", 2 PendingIntent p = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
alarms.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, nextMillis, 300000, p); // 5 mins
And receiving them like this:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_ALARM)) {
// It's time to sound/show an alarm
final long id = intent.getLongExtra(EXTRA_ID, -1);
The alarm is delivered to my receiver at the right times, but often with EXTRA_ID set to the wrong value: it's a value that I have used at some point, just not the one that I wanted delivered at that particular time.
I have to set multiple alarms (upto 5) that will trigger everyday, in my application. I tried to create an array of AlarmManager instances but it didn't worked. Here is the code fragment I used for this.
[HIGH]AlarmManager[] alarmManager = new AlarmManager[totalAlarmsInDay];
for(int i = 0; i < totalAlarmsInDay; i++) {
alarmManager[i] = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, i, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager[i].setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, calendar.getTimeInMillis() + i * 15*60*1000, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}[/HIGH]
Here's the deal: I will be upgrading to the Droid X very soon. I know that when you setup the phone you have to tie it to a Google/gmail account, but what if my wife wants to check her email and stuff as well? She isn't going to have a smartphone of her own. Is there a way to designate an app or widget for her Google account on my smartphone? Or will she have to go through the browser every time and log-in?

Issue:
I have two Gmail accounts setup on my phone, both of which use Google Apps, so the addresses are (at) example1.com and (at) example2.com as opposed to ending in gmail.com. I use my first account to sync my contacts, calendar and mail, and my secondary account just syncs mail. I then added an old @gmail.com account for no particular reason and now it won't let me delete it and gives this reason: "This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults".
When I first added the account, by default it didn't turn on mail sync. I have left that unchecked, and also left contacts and calendar sync unchecked. Therefore, this account hasn't yet interacted with any apps/programs. Is the reason I can't delete this @gmail.com account because Android recognizes it as a 'proper' Gmail address? I have searched for similar threads, but ultimately the discussions there seem to focus on different problems.
I setup a Google Apps domain and I want to connect it to my Incredible via Exchange. Sounds easy enough. All works well, except if you create multiple calendars within Google Apps. It only sees and sync the main Exchange Calendar. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I am setting this up for a business user who wants to maintain two different contact lists. The exchange list will be for business only and the Gmail account used to setup the phone is all personal (has multiple calendars too).
I thought I could add the Google Apps account as a Google account in addition to exchange, but that only enables contact and mail sync. No option for Calendar. Does anyone have a work around. I am using my phone as a test prior to launching on my clients. I did a factory reset and used the Apps Account as the main account on setup, but now I will not be able to re-install already paid for apps from the Market.
I got my HTC Hero yesterday and im pretty impressed. There is one thing thats bugging me though..
Is it possible to set up multiple facebook / twitter accounts on the phone? I mean I have one account for personal and one for business, i would like to be able to switch between the two...
I've configured all my emails up fine but it seems i can only have one facebook and twitter account. So at the moment Ive only got my personal account set up. Any thoughts?
We have a work phone for our three shift supervisors to share. Any way or app that would allow us to setup three exchange emails that are each secured by a PIN or password? I've seen that android tablets can now switch users , but I don't think that is available on the phone yet. Phone is a Samsung S4.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI think I may have found an issue within the My understanding is that to properly hold a device awake after an alarm is triggered you have to aquire a WakeLock in the onReceive() event, call a Service, then perform the work in the Service, releasing the lock within the Service when complete. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/ browse_ thread /threa . http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@ googlegroups.com/msg66. This pattern can also be found in the CommonWare Advanced Android Development book. I tried this, but I found that the AlarmManager, when calling the BroadcastReceiver, runs on a separate PID than the IntentService when started from the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() event. This makes the static variable on the lock manager. I tried this, and my logs indicate that the PID is definately not the same, and my understanding is that the DalikVM instances act like a standard JVM, whereby objects and variables are no shared between JVMs. Furthermore, since the WakeLock is not serializable, there is really no way to pass the reference to the lock via an "extra" in the Intent.Has anyone else seen this pattern work or fail? I have an example project (with compiled APK) if you'd like to test it yourself, where shall I post this? I have tested this on the emulator on versions 1.6 and 2.0.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn the Android app which is getting developed, i have multiple alarms.
I want to initiate, different actions on different alarms.
How can i differentiate or determine , exactly which alarm has been fired?
I have an application that consist of several Activities. When the application starts, some alarms are scheduled using AlarmManager and some services are started:
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
a.setInexactRepeating(...)....
I would like to know any way to guarantee every service is stopped and every alarm is unscheduled when the user exits the application. The problem is that the user can leave the application from different Activities, and I don't like the idea of overriding the onDestroy method in every Activity. Is there any known Intent I can receive when the application ends? I've also found that an Android application can have a class that extends from Application, with a onTerminate method:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override public void onTerminate() {
... } }
But the documentation is very clear: "never depend on this method being called; in many cases an unneeded application process will simply be killed by the kernel without executing any application code".
My Gmail account works great, and I have my aol and yahoo acounts set up no problem (well the yahoo was a little problem but got it to work so thats all that matters). I have 2 other email accounts that no matter what I do I can not get them to work. One is my works email which is handled by a company called network solutions. I can get the incoming server setup fine but I can not get the outgoing to work. The other is my school email which is some sort of msn email account variation (username@email.itt-tech.edu which i log into through msn.com). I cant get anything to work for this accuont.
