Reminder in android

Question

I wanted to create a reminder app for my android. Actually I wanted to save reminders and the dates in the database and show the reimnder when the scheduled time is reached. Can anyone please suggest the code for this. Can alarms be given specific id at the time of saving and used to retrieve the specific reminder from database. I am new to android. Please help me.

You probably want to use Notifications in conjunction with the AlarmManager . There are lots of tutorials on the web that explain how to do this. Here is one: http://android.arnodenhond.com/tutorials/alarm-notification
