    <p>I have a little confusion with setting an alarm. If anyone could give feedback or some hints it'll be greatly appreciated. In summary here is my situation:</p> <p>Inside my application I set an alarm:</p> <pre><code>//////////////////////// // Set an alarm // Actually I set a unique id here. The hardcoded value is for simplicity only. int id = 123454321; Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyAlarm.class); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, id, intent, 0); long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(); firstTime += 10*1000; AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, firstTime, 15*1000, sender); //////////////////////// //////////////////////// // MyAlarm implementation public class MyAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // Do some periodic work here } } //////////////////////// </code></pre> <p>When I set the alarm everything is fine and good. I can see my alarm when I use the command:</p> <pre><code> adb shell dumpsys alarm </code></pre> <p>I can see the alarm even when my application goes to the background.</p> <p>Next I manually kill my application through </p> <p>Settings - Applications - Manage applications - - Force stop</p> <p>When I re-issue the command "adb shell dumpsys alarm" I see that my alarm is gone. This makes me think that when my application goes into the background and the framework kills it to free resources, my alarm will also be killed. However, I would like to have an alarm which will live independent of whether the application is running or not. Does anybody have hints how to do this? </p>

    1. COconsidered using service? even then there is a chance that service can be killed, you can give higher priority to service, so that there is a minimum chance of your service being killed.

    2. COYes, I tried service as well but the service was also killed. I got a comment on this subject from Mark Murphy on another platform and he says that manually stopping an application like this does not simulate OS behavior.

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.
