I am working on app in which I want to set alarm on weekly basis, e.g. on every sunday 10:00pm or every sunday and monday on 10:00pm. but whenever I start alarm manager it triggers immediately, I know that I am creating an alarm for the day which has passed but I still want to add alarm for next coming sunday, and I am unable to achieve that. here is a code what I have done so far.

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), SchedulerReciever.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), i, intent, 0);

intentArray.add(pendingIntent1);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 10);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.PM);

Long alarmTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();

alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY*7,alarmTime, pendingIntent1);

Your `Calendar` is set to a value in the past. – CommonsWare Sep 21 '17 at 11:26
i know that but i want to set alarm for next sunday and it should repeat on every sunday after that, until user cancel it explicitly. – hanzala ansari Sep 21 '17 at 11:29
Add 7 days to the `Calendar` value, to push it to next week. – CommonsWare Sep 21 '17 at 11:30
how to add 7 days to Calendar value? i have already added AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY*7 into that. – hanzala ansari Sep 21 '17 at 11:33
``calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,Calendar.SUNDAY+7)`` – Haem Sep 21 '17 at 11:34
will this code work for every coming sundays? – hanzala ansari Sep 21 '17 at 11:38
`calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 7)`. – CommonsWare Sep 21 '17 at 11:40
Heikki Mäenpää's code not working. – hanzala ansari Sep 21 '17 at 11:58
