I try to use AlarmManager with BroadcastReceiver.
My problem is that I dont get the intent fire from the AlarmManager.
Im not getting any call from Log.i("test", "test")
Here is my code:
public void activityCheck()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), com.example.workoutlog.UsageCheckService.class);
intent.putExtra("nofitication", "nofitication");
PendingIntent service = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager m = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
time.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
Log.i("Yo", "Yo");
m.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, time.getTimeInMillis(), 1000*60, service);
}
My BroadcastReceiver class
public class UsageCheckService extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("test", "test");
}
}
In my manifest
<receiver android:name="com.example.workoutlog.UsageCheckService" >
</receiver>
If the phone is in sleep state, you will have to wake it up.
Try this:
A small example:
This is working code. It wakes CPU every 10 minutes until the phone turns off.
Add to Manifest.xml:
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
...
<receiver android:process=":remote" android:name="Alarm"></receiver>
...
Code:
package YourPackage;
import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.PowerManager;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Alarm extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "");
wl.acquire();
// Put here YOUR code.
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm !!!!!!!!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // For example
wl.release();
}
public void SetAlarm(Context context)
{
AlarmManager am=(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 10, pi); // Millisec * Second * Minute
}
public void CancelAlarm(Context context)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(sender);
}
}
Set Alarm from Service:
package YourPackage;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
public class YourService extends Service
{
Alarm alarm = new Alarm();
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
}
public void onStart(Context context,Intent intent, int startId)
{
alarm.SetAlarm(context);
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}
}
If you want set alarm repeating at phone boot time:
Add permission to Manifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>
...
<receiver android:name=".AutoStart">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
...
And create new class:
package YourPackage;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class AutoStart extends BroadcastReceiver
{
Alarm alarm = new Alarm();
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))
{
alarm.SetAlarm(context);
}
}
}
If you device is in "sleep mode" (battery save), the Broadcast will not wake up it.
You must use WakefulBroadcastReceiver
