    String year="";
    ListView event_list;
    String parts[];
    String monthYear="";
    String monthAyear="";

    private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatForMonth = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM - yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
    EventAdapter adapter=null;
    DatabaseHandler db=null;

    List<Event> list_data;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        rootView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_calendar, container, false);

        event_list=(ListView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.event_listview);


        final ImageButton showPreviousMonthBut = (ImageButton) rootView.findViewById(R.id.prev_button);
        final ImageButton showNextMonthBut = (ImageButton) rootView.findViewById(R.id.next_button);

        db=new DatabaseHandler(getContext());
        final TextView year_name=(TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.year_name);

        final CompactCalendarView compactCalendarView = (CompactCalendarView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.compactcalendar_view);
        compactCalendarView.drawSmallIndicatorForEvents(true);
        compactCalendarView.setCurrentDayBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

        compactCalendarView.setCurrentSelectedDayBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.dark_red));

        compactCalendarView.invalidate();

        year_name.setText(dateFormatForMonth.format(compactCalendarView.getFirstDayOfCurrentMonth()));
        monthYear=dateFormatForMonth.format(compactCalendarView.getFirstDayOfCurrentMonth());

        parts=monthYear.split("-");
        month=parts[0].replace(" ","");
        year=parts[1].replace(" ","");

        monthAyear=month+"-"+year;
        list_data=db.getAllEvents();

        showData(monthAyear);
        compactCalendarView.setListener(new CompactCalendarView.CompactCalendarViewListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDayClick(Date dateClicked) {
                SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
                str_date=simpleDateFormat.format(dateClicked);
                dialogShow();

            }

            @Override
            public void onMonthScroll(Date firstDayOfNewMonth) {
                monthYear=dateFormatForMonth.format(firstDayOfNewMonth);
                parts=monthYear.split("-");

                year_name.setText(dateFormatForMonth.format(firstDayOfNewMonth));
            }
        });

        showPreviousMonthBut.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
    }
}

Please, help me What will i do?

Answer 1

You need to use the AlarmManager Class to notify the user through Push Notifications:

So, to get this working, you need to pass the time in milliseconds which represents your target date e.g : 24 Dec 2016 -> Convert to milliseconds and pass it to the AlaramManager

    private Calendar calendar;
    calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hourOfDay);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
    calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day);
    delay = calendar.getTimeInMillis();

public class SetUpNotification {

public  void setAlarm(long delay, String taskName, String taskDetails, Context context)
{
    Intent alertIntent = new Intent(context, AlertReceiver.class);
    alertIntent.putExtra("TaskName", taskName);
    alertIntent.putExtra("TaskDetails", taskDetails);




    AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

    final int _id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();

    Log.d("Delay", delay+"");
    Log.d("ID", _id+"");
    alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, delay,
            PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, _id, alertIntent,
                    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
}

}

public class AlertReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static int x = 0;

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    String taskName = intent.getStringExtra("TaskName");
    String taskDetails = intent.getStringExtra("TaskDetails");

    Log.d("BroadcastReceiver", "OnRecieve");
    createNotification(context, taskName , taskDetails, "EatThatFrog");
    x++;
    Log.d("X", x+"");
}

public void createNotification(Context context, String msg, String msgText, String msgAlert){

    PendingIntent notificIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
            new Intent(context, DashboardActivity.class), 0);

    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
            (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)

                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
                    .setContentTitle(msg)
                    .setTicker(msgAlert)
                    .setContentText(msgText);

    mBuilder.setContentIntent(notificIntent);


    mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);

    mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);

    NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    mNotificationManager.notify(1 + x, mBuilder.build());

}

}

Answer 2

You can alarm manager class and put your broadcast receiver to handle that event and for showing event in dialog you can make dialog as an activity which shows your event detail from database

For putting alarm

public void setAlarm(View v){
        Intent intent = new Intent(this,AlarmReceiver.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ Delay,pendingIntent);


    }

in broad cast receiver

public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
                Intent i=new Intent(ctxt, EventActivity.class);

                i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

                ctxt.startActivity(i);
              }
