how to repeat alarm week day on in android

Question

I want to get alarm on monday to friday only. my code is here

if (chk_weekday.isChecked()) {

                    int day = calNow.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
                    if (day == 2 || day == 3 || day == 4 || day == 5
                            || day == 6) {

                        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
                                calSet.getTimeInMillis(), 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
                                pendingIntent);

                    }

Have a Idea.

Another approach: Create 5 alarms (one for each day) and set repeating time to WEEK. — Pankaj Kumar, Sep 20 '12 at 08:00

remove "if{}else if{}.."just use "if{} if{}..." then it should set alarm for multiple days....:) – Melbourne Lopes Nov 28 '13 at 09:23
Why do we set this to repeat every hour? – stanley santoso Sep 16 '15 at 19:54

You are repeating it every hour. For every week formula would be 24 * 7 * 60 * 60 * 1000 – Mitesh Shah Apr 12 '16 at 06:15
why don't you add all of your check boxes to an arrayOf checkboxes and then using a for loop check for the checked ones and save their index to an other array and after that use an other for loop to set alarms for every number in that array – Tamim Attafi Feb 07 '19 at 14:57

From your question i believe you want to perform certain activity on daily basis except Saturday, Sunday. So your code is right but you declare it wrong way, make changes as follows and try

declare alarm in OnCreate() method

alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calSet.getTimeInMillis(), 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000,  pendingIntent);

Now your alarm is set to repeat daily, and you need to perform action daily except Sat,Sunday

  if (chkMonday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkTuesday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkWednesday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkThrusday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkFriday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkSaturday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  if (chkSunday.isChecked()) 
  {
      activityToPerform();
  }

  private void activityToPerform()
  {
    // your action code
  }

One way is when the alarm notify is receive in broadcast then check the next day if its saturday then set the alarm for monday otherwise just create with adding 1 day.

You need to set new alarm every time for this.
