I am trying to use an alarm manager with BroadcastReceiver. I try to use the example given in Tutorial: System Services and BroadcastReceiver . but when I run the example after the end of the time the toast doesn't show up. the code is below:
My main Activity:
public class AlarmActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_alarm);
}
public void startAlert(View view) {
EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.time);
int i = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 234324243, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()
+ (i * 1000), pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm set in " + i + " seconds",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
my broadCastReceiver:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Don't panic but your time is up!!!!.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Vibrate the mobile phone
Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vibrator.vibrate(2000);
}
}
my main Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Number of seconds"
android:inputType="numberDecimal" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="@+id/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="startAlert"
android:text="Start Counter" >
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
and the manifestfile:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:versionCode="1"
