In my app the user joins a plan, then the next day at noon there is an alarm notification. Here is my code:
First, I set an alarm in AlarmManager like so:
//set alarm to the next day 12:00 noon of the join date
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
try {
alarm_date = format.parse(join_date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
GregorianCalendar calender = new GregorianCalendar();
calender.setTime(alarm_date);
calender.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
calender.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
//calender.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 14); //temp testing data
//calender.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 43);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(ctx, AlarmReceiver.class);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calender.getTimeInMillis(), PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctx, 1, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
Then, at the scheduled time, it triggers the receiver like so:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent service = new Intent(context, AlarmService.class);
context.startService(service);
}
}
Finally, it calls a service to either show notification or bring the app to the front if it is in the background. Here is the code for that:
public class AlarmService extends Service {
private Context ctx;
private MyApp gs;
private SharedPreferences prefs;
NotificationManager notificationManager;
Notification myNotification;
private String joinPlanID;
private String joinPlanDate;
private int period;
public AlarmService() {
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
public void checkPlanPeriod(String planID) {
if (joinPlanID.equals("1"))
period = 15;
else if (joinPlanID.equals("2"))
period = 30;
else if (joinPlanID.equals("3"))
period = 45;
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
ctx = getApplicationContext();
gs = (MyApp) getApplication();
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(ctx);
if (prefs.getString("joinPlanID", null) != null) {
Date alarmDate = null;
joinPlanID = prefs.getString("joinPlanID", null);
joinPlanDate = prefs.getString("joinPlanDate", null);
checkPlanPeriod(joinPlanID);
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
try {
alarmDate = format.parse(joinPlanDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
GregorianCalendar planCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
planCalendar.setTime(alarmDate);
planCalendar.add(Calendar.DATE, period);
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
Calendar tomorrowAlarm = Calendar.getInstance();
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.YEAR, now.get(Calendar.YEAR));
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.MONTH, now.get(Calendar.MONTH));
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
tomorrowAlarm.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
if (planCalendar.compareTo(tomorrowAlarm) != -1) {
//set the next day alarm
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(ctx, AlarmReceiver.class);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, tomorrowAlarm.getTimeInMillis(), PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctx, 1, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
}
}
if (gs.getIsAppStart()) {
Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(this, Main.class);
dialogIntent.putExtra("is_remind", true);
dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
this.startActivity(dialogIntent);
} else {
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.notify_title))
.setContentText(getResources().getString(R.string.notify_msg));
Intent toLaunch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main.class);
toLaunch.putExtra("is_remind", true);
toLaunch.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);
PendingIntent intentBack = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0, toLaunch,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(intentBack);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Send Notification
Notification primaryNotification = mBuilder.build();
mNotificationManager.notify(10001, primaryNotification);
}
}
}
The problem is, if I reset my device it neither triggers the alarm nor my Receiver gets any thing. How do I fix it?
