I am working on an application inwhich I am using AlarmManager
for scheduling things. My Alarm is set. But this Alarm does not invoke BroadcastReceiver
written to catch the event. I have searched a great deal but I have not found anything that solves the issue. I am posting my code, please have a look and see if I am missing something.
AlarmManagerClass:
public class ScheduleMessageManager {
Context context;
PendingIntent sender;
AlarmManager am;
public ScheduleMessageManager(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public void addAlram(int scheduledMessageID, long scheduledTime) {
// Activate Broadcast Receiver to receive broadcasts
activateBroadcastReceiver();
//Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
// In reality, you would want to have a unique variable for the request
// code
intent.putExtra("scheduledMessageID", scheduledMessageID);
sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, scheduledMessageID, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Get the AlarmManager service
am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, scheduledTime, sender);
Log.e("In ScheduleMessageManage", "***** Alarm is set to the mmessage *****");
}
public void cancelPeriodicSchedule(PendingIntent sender) {
if (am != null) {
if (sender != null) {
am.cancel(sender);
sender.cancel();
}
}
// Deactivate Broadcast Receiver to stop receiving broadcasts
deactivateBroadcastreceiver();
}
private void activateBroadcastReceiver() {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
Toast.makeText(context, "activated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
private void deactivateBroadcastreceiver() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
Toast.makeText(context, "cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
My AlarmReceiver:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
int pendingIntentID; // same as scheduledMessageID
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("In On Receive", "Alarm has Initiated Broadcast Receiver....");
if (intent.hasExtra("scheduledMessageID")) {
pendingIntentID = intent.getExtras().getInt("scheduledMessageID");
Intent sendMessageServiceIntent = new Intent(context, SendMessageService.class);
sendMessageServiceIntent.putExtra("pendingIntentID", pendingIntentID);
context.startService(sendMessageServiceIntent);
}
}
}
OnReceieve()
is never called.
In My Manifest.xml
<receiver
android:name="myPackage.AlarmReceiver"
android:enabled="true" >
</receiver>
I am unable to figure out the does the problem lie. Please help me out of it. Thanks.!
