View 3 Replies View RelatedI am making a app similar to a Alarm Clock as the first exercise. I would like to let my app start up itself in the specified time,even it has not been actived in the background. Just like a Alarm Clock.

c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 22);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now.
long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
firstTime += 30*1000;
long a=c.getTimeInMillis();
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
c.getTimeInMillis(), 1*60*60*1000, sender);
It is not executed at 23:22h. What I am doing wrong? I noticed firstTime and c.getTimeInMillis() differs a lot in size and length. When I use firstTime, so when set to 30 seconds, the alarm is executed well.
I have searched a lot of places but couldnt find a clean sequential explanation of how to start a service (or if thats not possible then an activity) at a specific time daily using the AlarmManager??I want to register several such alarms and triggering them should result in a service to be started. I'll be having a small piece of code in the service which can then execute and i can finish the service for good. Code...

I am trying to pass a record id to the alarmintent through putextra and receive it in ontimealarmreceiver in getExtra. What I observe is, first time record id goes correct (say 11) second time record id is sent 12, but in receiver I receive record id = 11. Third time too record id -11
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to repeat alarm for between 1 day to 60 days. For example, the user can be able to repeat alarm after every 5 days, 10 days or 60 days (maximum).
Option1 ( Implemented Code
alarmmanager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), pIntent);
Note: But it is working fine but it supports maximum 10 days(appx) repeating only after that "(durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000)" it goes into -ve value so, I am unable to set maximum 60 days alarm repeatedly. AlarmManager class only supports a long value for choosing the interval between the execution of the pending intent.
Is there any other option to set repeat alarm for the no of days ?
Option 2 ( Implemented Code:
Date futureDate = new Date(new Date().getTime() + (86400000 * durationInDays));
Date dateInterval = new Date(86400000 * durationInDays);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, futureDate.getTime(), dateInterval.getTime(), pendingIntent);
Note: We set repeating alarm maximum every 24 days but when i give (durationInDays = 25; // in Days) then it takes -ve values.
Can I set repeating alarm with Calender?
I've experienced the following problems in 2.1 and had hoped that it would be rectified in 2.2. FYI I'm using a UK unbranded SIM free SGS and the stock alarm with the smart alarm feature turned on. When I set the alarm for the morning and then cancel it later on (e.g. I wake up naturally an hour before the alarm) I find that despite canceling it the alarm still goes off at the initially set time.
First of all, I was simply unchecking the green alarm symbol in the "clock" application. Then as this was failing to cancel it, I would long press the set alarm time until the option delete would appear and completely deleting the time altogether, yet the alarm still goes off. I have also noticed in 2.2 that the alarm date does not seem to be as intuitive as it was before. Previously I recall setting the alarm the night before by scrolling the time forward past midnight to the morning and the day would follow suit.
However, a couple of time that I have used the alarm the alarm has tried to enable itself for the same day as being set. However, as the clock is being scrolled forward this would often show as time to alarm 6+ days and hours. Don't recall seeing that on 2.1? Finally, is there a dedicated place where more smart alarms can be downloaded and incorporated into the smart alarm feature? I know of Zedge, White Noise and others but most are not true smart alarm sounds. Often just screen shots or clips of noises, which do not segway nicely into the start of the alarm loop when the track has completed.
Is there some way to setup a reminder on this phone. essentially an alarm for a future day/time? I don't want to have to fill out a whole appointment - just setup a reminder..

View 1 Replies View RelatedOnly thing I can think of that I miss on my storm. When turning it off, it would alert you it would be turning back on at your alarm time to wake you and would do exactly that. Stock app doesn't do that. I've searched and gone through market apps descriptions looking for this function. At the least I want the alarm to go off when the phones turned off. I don't need it to notify me when its turning on, when its shutting down.

Ive mounted the phone and looked in the download folder of sd card but nothing is there, and its certainly not in any of my albums. Is this yet another bug int he Hero's mms handling? a side question is there a way to adjust the snooze time on the built in alarm clock?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWas trying to call another application using an *explicit* intent, but am finding it does not seem possible. I do not wish to use implicit intents. To test it out, try calling the YouTube main activity.
Intent i = new Intent(); ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.google.android.youtube","com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity.class"); i.setComponent(cn); startActivity(i);
I get this error:
08-29 00:54:26.598: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7332): Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.google.android.youtube/ com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity.class}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? Does anyone know whether this is possible? (using explicit intents to call another application)
I'm not sure if this is an android problem, or a samsung i9000 problem, but either way it's an annoying problem that I'd love to find a solution for ?_? I simply cant get the alarm to work for me (overnight. it's fine in the very short term). It appears to be because the clock stops moving/updating when the phone goes to sleep, because when I turn the screen back on I can see that the time is off by multiple hours, depending upon when it stopped updating, and stays that way for a couple of seconds before changing to the correct time.
Things to note here..
I do NOT use a task killer
The alarm volume is up
I have tried the alarm both with and without the Automatic, network provided time setting. The clock still stops moving. I've not updated anything from the standard (UK) firmware
I'm currently using this in preferences.xml: .......................
This allows to trigger a custom Activity when this specific preferences item is triggered. Copying from the documentation, I'm using an implicit intent, and it's working. But I'd solve a problem if I could use an explicit intent, that is writing the fully qualified class name of the target Activity. I didn't find documentation about this, so I don't know whether it's possible and how to do that.
I have some code that starts another activity based on a menu item selection:
..........
I've spent quite a bit of time on this and am inclined to file a bug report at this point. I can see a reference to the allegedly missing class in the classes.dex file inside the APK and the code works properly in the emulator. I haven't been able to find anything like this, so if there is, an RTFM pointer will be humbly accepted.
it looks like its an Android bug, but my alarm & my calendar alerts are not working correctly, as well as CalWidget. My Google Cal & the Cal on the phone are correct. I had to reboot to get the time updated to what it should be today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried several alarm clocks on my droid, and they all seem to have a problem. if I set alarms for 6:30, 6:41, and 6:52 am. Each with a different sound. If i snooze alarm 1, alarm 2/3 never goes off. i thought all 3 would be seperate, but it seems only 1 can be active at a time. unless im doing something wrong. this happens on the default alarm clock and, better alarm clock.

The error seems simple enough, but I don't see a problem with the way I have identified this activity in my manifest file. I have also been unable to see any problems with the activity class itself..............

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to receive an explicit intent with the component option set? Example: Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.VIEW data=http://example.org flags=0x10000000 comp={com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity}}
The reason why i want to this this is because i want receive this intent above, launch another browser than the default one, and drop the intent before it starts the default browser. In another words, i want to make another browser the default one.
When I use a RelativeLayout with either fill_parent or wrap_content as height and an element which specifies: android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" it is ignored and it is aligned at the top. Setting the height of the RelativeLayout to an explicit value makes it work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app needs to have a intent-filter that responds to a intent that has it's component set (a explicit intent.) Here is a example.
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.compareeverywhere","com.compareeverywhere.ScanActivity");
startActivity(i);
Just a simple intent-filter will not do - because the intent is made for a specific component (activity,) it just launches that without looking for intents at all. Is there a way to do this?
As far as I'm aware the standard alarm clock will not alarm when the phone is switched off. Does anybody know an alarm clock that will alarm when the phone is switched off ...? (preferably free)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am overriding the functionalities of current android alarm clock. As of now, if we have set two alarm of ,say, 10:10 and 10:15, now if the first alarm pops up at 10:10, and we click on snooze button(snooze time: 10 mins), then it says that the snooze will not be set since there is already an alarm in between(the 10:15th one). Here i want to both the alarm(i.e, snoozed one and 10:15th one) to be set. Any ideas???

Basically I use my phone as an alarm to get up for work. My old Nokia N96 I could set the alarm and then switch the phone off at night and the alarm would still go off on time. This does not seem to be the case with the X10i. It doesn't even go off when the phones in airplane mode which is poor. I just don't want to have to leave my phone on overnight in case it rings and i wake up.
Are there any good alarm apps that allows you to turn the phone off and the alarm would still ring at 6.30 for work?
Does anyone know how to purposely change your app names? Is it even possible? i.e, " better alarm clock " to just alarm..
