    <p>I have a very simple class that sets and cancels an AlarmManager to broadcast intents:</p> <pre><code>public class MyIntentsAlarm { public void setAlarm(Context context){ AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent i = new Intent("MY_ACTION"); PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0); am.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(),5*60*1000L, pi); } public void cancelAlarm(Context context){ Intent intent = new Intent("MY_ACTION"); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0); AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarmManager.cancel(sender); } } </code></pre> <p>I call the <code>setAlarm(Context context)</code> method in the <code>onCreate()</code> method of my Activity and the <code>cancelAlarm(Context context)</code> in the <code>onDestroy()</code>. Then in the <code>onCreate()</code> method of my Activity I register a BroadcastReceiver to listen to the intents broadcasted by this AlarmManager and perform some task (while acquiring a wake lock to guarantee that the tasks are performed):</p> <pre><code>myActionAlarmReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d(TAG, "MY_ACTION intent received"); PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE); PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, ""); wl.acquire(); runMyTask(); wl.release(); } }; registerReceiver(myActionAlarmReceiver, new IntentFilter("MY_ACTION")); </code></pre> <p>Is it possible that my AlarmManager does not broadcast intents when the phone is in sleep mode, even if I use the <code>RTC_WAKEUP</code> type and I acquire a <code>WakeLock</code> in my BroadcastReceiver?</p> <p>My experience so far, reproduced in multiple devices, is that the intents will be broadcasted the first night that my device is in sleep mode (my app is constantly running during the day), but then, it never broadcasts intents at night again.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>

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.
