How to create Recurring of Alarm in Android

Question

I am new to android.I am making an Application where I have to take user input more then once and set alarm more then once in a day So can you please tell me how can i achieve this? I can set alarm any time once a day So can you please tell what kind of logic what is the best way to achieve.

Answer 1

Intent intent1 = new Intent(this, give the sameclassname.class);
     PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent1, 0);
     AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
     alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis()+timeinminutes*60*1000,30*1000,  pintent);

this code repeats the alarm based on the "timeinminutes". This is the variable.

Answer 2

Im not entirely sure i understand your question but you should take a look at the AlarmManager

Theres a couple of examples (under alarms)
