I used a receiver which would start a service on boot. In the services onCreate i put in a scheduled alarm. This is only executed once. Why? Here is the code for the service which is called by the receiver on boot
/**
* Created by rishabh on 24/3/16.
*/
public class MyServiceOnBoot extends Service {
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(){
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
Intent intent2 = new Intent(MyServiceOnBoot.this,MyABService.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MyServiceOnBoot.this, 0, intent2, 0);
AlarmManager alarm_manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm_manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, c.getTimeInMillis(), 1*1000, pintent);
stopSelf();
}
}
The MyABService class is only executed once. What could be the solution for it? Here is the receiver class
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyServiceOnBoot.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}
Here is the Manifest
<service android:name=".MyABService"/>
<receiver android:name="com.todaysfuture.dynpin.MyReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
