    copied!<p>I'm trying to create and delete an alarm in two different methods which are both called at different moments in the application logic.</p> <p>However when I call AlarmManager's <code>cancel()</code> method, the alarm isn't deleted.</p> <p><strong>Here's my <code>addAlarm()</code> Method :</strong></p> <pre><code>AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent intent = new Intent(PROX_ALERT_INTENT); intent.putExtra("ALERT_TIME", alert.date); intent.putExtra("ID_ALERT", alert.idAlert); intent.putExtra("TITLE", alert.title); intent.putExtra("GEO_LOC", alert.isGeoLoc); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext, alert.idAlert, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT); Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTime(alert.date); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent); Log.e("ADD ALERT - WithoutGeoLoc - ",alert.toString()); </code></pre> <p><strong>Here's my deleteAlarm() Method :</strong></p> <pre><code>AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent intent = new Intent(PROX_ALERT_INTENT); intent.putExtra("ALERT_TIME", alert.date); intent.putExtra("ID_ALERT", alert.idAlert); intent.putExtra("TITLE", alert.title); intent.putExtra("GEO_LOC", alert.isGeoLoc); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext, alert.idAlert, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT); alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent); Log.e(TAG,"REMOVE ALERT - without GeoLoc"+alert.toString()); </code></pre> <p><strong>Here's my Logcat :</strong></p> <pre><code>01-23 17:44:07.411: E/ADD ALERT - WithoutGeoLoc -(18789): Alert [latitude=0.0, longitude=0.0, title=bfwu, comments=null, address=null, currency=hrk, idAlert=1, date=Sat Feb 23 17:44:04 CET 2013, isGeoLoc=null] 01-23 17:44:13.032: E/REMOVE ALERT without GeoLoc - (18789): Alert [latitude=0.0, longitude=0.0, title=bfwu, comments=null, address=null, currency=hrk, idAlert=1, date=Sat Feb 23 17:44:04 CET 2013, isGeoLoc=null] </code></pre> <p><strong>Here's a list of pendingIntents in the AlarmManager</strong></p> <pre><code>Current Alarm Manager state: Realtime wakeup (now=2013-01-23 17:44:37): RTC_WAKEUP #48: Alarm{2c1d0588 type 0 com.my.app} type=0 when=+364d23h59m33s288ms repeatInterval=0 count=0 operation=PendingIntent{2c0a6cb0: PendingIntentRecord{2c1d04e8 com.my.app broadcastIntent}} RTC_WAKEUP #47: Alarm{2c2298a0 type 0 com.my.app} type=0 when=+30d23h59m27s360ms repeatInterval=0 count=0 operation=PendingIntent{2c292af8: PendingIntentRecord{2c22a628 com.my.app broadcastIntent}} </code></pre> <p>A couple notes:</p> <ul> <li><code>RTC_WAKEUP #47</code> is My Original Alarm</li> <li><code>RTC_WAKEUP #48</code> is a New Alarm that should have overwritten #47 rather than create a new one.</li> </ul> <p>I have compared the two intents (not pendingIntents) from my add and delete methods using Intent's <code>filterEquals()</code> method which returns <code>true</code> ... Yet the alarm is not deleted. What am I doing wrong?</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p><strong>Here's my <code>saveAlert()</code> method that calls <code>addAlarm()</code> and <code>deleteAlarm()</code></strong></p> <pre><code>private void saveAlert() { // *** If Modifying Alert =&gt; REMOVE OLD ALERT (then add new one) Intent intent1 = null, intent2 = null; if (alert.idAlert != null) { if (alert.isGeoLoc == null || alert.isGeoLoc == false) { intent2 = ProximityService.removeProximityAlertWithoutGeoLoc(getApplicationContext(), devisesApp.alertsGlobal.getAlertById(alert)); } else { ProximityService.removeProximityAlert(getApplicationContext(), alert); } } // *** Add Alert if (alert.isGeoLoc == null || alert.isGeoLoc == false) { intent1 = ProximityService.addProximityAlertWithoutGeoLoc(getApplicationContext(), alert, devisesApp.alertsGlobal); } else { ProximityService.addProximityAlert(getApplicationContext(), alert, devisesApp.alertsGlobal); } Log.i(TAG, "[saveAlert] Alert ID : " + alert.idAlert); devisesApp.alertsGlobal.addById(alert); Log.i("INTENT EQUALS", intent1.filterEquals(intent2) + ""); // This returns true } </code></pre>
