I was trying to setup AlarmManager in my application but I am not sure if I am doing everything how it should be.
What I want to achieve is to have an alaram which gets setup once after installation of application and re-setup after every re-boot.
I think I am close but now just after loading application on emulator, alarm goes off and gives "Successully triggered" message although clock is set to 11 AM, not 9 AM...
It might be an issue with for..else condition in my Receiver but I am not sure, here is my code:
App.kt
class App : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
CheckExpiryAlarmReceiver.AlarmReceiver.setExpiryAlarmMonitor(applicationContext)
super.onCreate()
}
}
CheckExpiryAlarmReceiver.kt
private const val REQUEST_CODE = 0
private const val ALARM_HOUR = 9
class CheckExpiryAlarmReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
object AlarmReceiver {
fun setExpiryAlarmMonitor(context: Context?) {
val alarmMgr: AlarmManager = context?.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE) as AlarmManager
val alarmIntent: PendingIntent
val mIntent = Intent(context, CheckExpiryAlarmReceiver::class.java)
alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, REQUEST_CODE, mIntent, 0)
// Set the alarm to start at 9:00 AM
val calendar: Calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
calendar.timeInMillis = System.currentTimeMillis()
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, ALARM_HOUR)
// Every once a day
alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.timeInMillis, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent)
}
}
override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
// Check if triggered by system re-boot
if(intent?.action == "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED") {
AlarmReceiver.setExpiryAlarmMonitor(context)
} else { // Action to be actually performed by Alarm receiver
Log.i("AlarmMonitor", "Triggered successfully!")
}
}
}
Any thoughts? Thanks for all help! :)
