    <p>I'm trying to create a task scheduler. For now I just want to have a Toast message pop up once a scheduled broadcast received. So I have this BroadcastReceiver:</p> <pre><code>public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { int group_id = intent.getIntExtra("SELECTED_GROUP", 0); Toast.makeText(context, "Broadcast received. Selected group ID: "+group_id, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } </code></pre> <p>This is what I have in my AndroidManifest file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:name="com.ikmedia.smscheduler.receivers.AlarmReceiver"&gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="com.mysite.myapp.sendSchedule"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p>And in my activity this is what I have when the user hits the Save button:</p> <pre><code>Calendar calendar_schedule_time = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar_schedule_time.set(selected_year, selected_month, selected_day, selected_hour, selected_minute); Intent intent_scheduler = new Intent(); intent_scheduler.setAction("com.mysite.myapp.sendSchedule"); intent_scheduler.putExtra("SELECTED_GROUP", selected_group_id); PendingIntent pi_schedule_intent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, Constants.Request_Codes.REQUEST_CODE_SEND_SCHEDULE, intent_scheduler, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT); AlarmManager alarm_manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarm_manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar_schedule_time.getTimeInMillis(), pi_schedule_intent); </code></pre> <p>However when I hit the Save button - I don't get a scheduled alarm, but an immediate response from the BroadcastReceiver. I have the Toast message pops up, with the Extra text, but it happens immediately and I don't have the schedule.</p> <p>Why is that? How do I fix it?</p>

    3. COWell I tried your code, and seems to be working fine. I tried with `alarm_manager.set` not `setInexactRepeating` and that's working as it has to be. You may have look at my snippet from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43315063/Alarm_app.zip Import and run on device and let me know if this is working

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
