My app will set an AlarmManager to fire some event and repeat it on 12:00pm everyday. However, my clients report that the alarm sometimes wake up normally, but sometimes wake up at other time (eg. 10/11pm).
Here is the code snippet:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
if (calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) >= 12 && calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE) > 0) {
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
}
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.PM);
int interval = (60 * 60 * 24 * 1000);
Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext, AlarmReceiver.REQUEST_CODE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);
For cancelling the alarm:
Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext, AlarmReceiver.REQUEST_CODE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
My app will start the alarm when the app is launch/turn on this setting in one of the activity. Therefore I use the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT to ensure only one task will fire at the specific time. Is there something missing in my code that result in firing the alarm at a wrong time?
