I am creating an alarm for my app. The alarm is suppose to wake the app up at around 8 in the morning and make a server call. When I change the time to say an hour or less, it is able to fetch the data and give the notifications. But when I extend the Calendar to a day interval, it doesn't work. This is my code.
Setting Alarm:
private void SetAlarm() {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TodayWordReceiver.class);
boolean alarmUp = (PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) != null);
if (!alarmUp) {
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
Log.i("Alarm", "alarm set success");
} else {
Log.i("Alarm", "Already created");
}
}
TodayWordReceiver:
public class TodayWordReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public TodayWordReceiver() {}
@Override
public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) {
WakeLocker.acquire(context);
Log.i("Receiver", "Called here");
Intent serIntent1 = new Intent(context, FetchTodayWordService.class);
context.startService(serIntent1);
}
}
FetchTodayService:
public class FetchTodayWordService extends IntentService {
WordDay wordDay;
final String url =
"http://api.wordnik.com:80/v4/words.json/wordOfTheDay?api_key=KEY";
public FetchTodayWordService () {
super("FetchTodayWordService");
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent (Intent intent) {
Log.i("OUTPUT", "Service called");
MakeRequest();
}
public void MakeRequest()
{
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest =
new JsonObjectRequest
(Request.Method.GET, url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse (JSONObject response) {
wordDay = ParseWordDay.ParseJSON(response);
if(wordDay != null)
{
new StoreData().DoWork(getApplicationContext(), wordDay);
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse (VolleyError error) {
Log.i("OUTPUT", String.valueOf(error));
}
});
MySingleton.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).addToRequestQueue(jsonObjectRequest);
}
WakeLocker:
public class WakeLocker {
private static PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock;
public static void acquire(Context ctx) {
if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release();
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK |
PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP |
PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, "LIGHT APP");
wakeLock.acquire();
}
public static void release() {
if (wakeLock != null) wakeLock.release(); wakeLock = null;
}
}
