I am setting multiple alarms which will have the exact same PendingIntent
object, but their time of going off is different. If I cancel one alarm by providing the same Intent
object to PendingIntent
, and pass this to AlarmManager.cancel()
, will it cancel all the alarms (i.e. with different starting times) or will it exhibit some other behavior?
Here is the code:
while(size != 0)
{
timeToSet = getNewTime(); //gets calendar object
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyAlarmReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("uniqueid", uuid);
intent.putExtra("vibrate", myalarm.getVibrate());
intent.putExtra("important", myalarm.getImportant());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(),
0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeToSet.getTimeInMillis(), 604800000, pendingIntent);
size--;
}
So the Intent object is same for all the alarms, but the time is different. Now when I cancel these alarms:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyAlarmReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("uniqueid", uuid);
intent.putExtra("vibrate", myalarm.getVibrate());
intent.putExtra("important", myalarm.getImportant());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
Will all the alarms get cancelled? That is what I want it to do. I could use a different requestCode
in every PendingIntent
, but it will be better if all of them get cancelled as I dont want to maintain and store these extra requestCodes
.
Thanks!
