AlarmManger setExact invoke past time alarm

Question

I read the developers guide about AlarmManager, but it dont speciffy the case when a setExact is set on past time.

In that case will the alram trigger (similler to set method)?

Answer 1

Well, i was running on the same question. Now I tried

long timeout=0;
am.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeout, pendIntent);

and it fired instantly, so I guess the answer is YES. :)
