How To Repeat Alarm For Between 1 To 60 Days At A Particular Time

Sep 15, 2011

I 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?

Android :: AlarmManager - How To Repeat An Alarm At Top Of Every Hour

Jun 27, 2010

I want for an event to fire every hour (at 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, etc...).
I tried with a persistent background service with a thread but it wasn't the right solution because of:

battery consumption
service termination, due to android memory management

So I'm trying with AlarmManager. It works if I set an alarm to fire in X seconds (using "set" method).
But how can I repeat an event (using "setRepeating" method) at the top of every hour, until the alarm is canceled?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Alarm Canceled But Still Goes Off At Set Time

Nov 12, 2010

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.

Android :: Set Alarm To Fire Properly At Fixed Time?

Jun 7, 2010

Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
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.

HTC Incredible :: Phone Turn Back On At Alarm Time Alert

Jun 21, 2010

Only 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.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Alarm Won't Work (Time Stops Updating When Phone Sleeps)

Jul 21, 2010

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

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 : Good Alarm Apps That Allows To Turn Phone Off And Alarm Would Still Ring

Jul 6, 2010

Are there any good alarm applications for the X10i?

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?

HTC EVO 4G :: Repeat Notifications On Email / Fix This?

Jul 19, 2010

I've tried searching for this with no luck! Sorry if its a duplicate question.

Whenever I get an email, I get repeat notifications (sound and vibrate) until I clear the message from the notification bar. So if I get an email right after I fall asleep, it keeps vibrating and playing my ringtone every few minutes until I wake up and clear it. It doesn't wake me up or bother me too bad...its just annoying, but my husband on the other hand is about to throw it out of the window....

...and since I FINALLY got a working EVO (hardware ver. 3), I would hate to see this. Anyone know how to fix it?
