POHow can I setup multiple alarms in Android?
text
Body
copied!<p>So far and thanks to this website, I've been able to set up an alarm that will be set up and active, even if I turn of my phone.</p> <p>Now, I set up a alarm to show a reminder for event A and I need the application to setup another alarm to show <strong>another</strong> reminder for event B.</p> <p>I must be doing something wrong, because it only fires the reminder for event A. It seems that once set up, any other alarm is understood as the same one. :-(</p> <p>Here is the detail of what I am doing in two steps:</p> <p>1) From an activity I set an alarm that at certain time and date will call a receiver</p> <pre><code> Intent intent = new Intent(Activity_Reminder.this, AlarmReceiver_SetOnService.class); intent.putExtra("item_name", prescription .getItemName()); intent .putExtra( "message", Activity_Reminder.this .getString(R.string.notif_text)); intent.putExtra("item_id", itemId); intent.putExtra("activityToTrigg", "com.companyName.appName.main.Activity_Reminder"); PendingIntent mAlarmSender; mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast( Activity_Reminder.this, 0, intent, 0); long alarmTime = dateMgmt.getTimeForAlarm(pickedDate); Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.setTimeInMillis(alarmTime); // Schedule the alarm! AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmTime + 15000, mAlarmSender); </code></pre> <p>2) From the receiver I call a service</p> <pre><code> Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); String itemName = bundle.getString("item_name"); String reminderOrAlarmMessage = bundle.getString("message"); String activityToTrigg = bundle.getString("activityToTrigg"); int itemId = Integer.parseInt(bundle.getString("item_id")); NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService("notification"); CharSequence text = itemName + " "+reminderOrAlarmMessage; Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, text, System.currentTimeMillis()); Intent newIntent = new Intent(); newIntent.setAction(activityToTrigg); newIntent.putExtra("item_id", itemId); CharSequence text1= itemName + " "+reminderOrAlarmMessage; CharSequence text2= context.getString(R.string.notif_Go_To_Details); PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0, newIntent, 0); notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, text1, text2, pIntent); notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL; notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL; nm.notify(itemId, notification); </code></pre> <p>Thanks in Advance,</p> <p>monn3t</p>
