    <p>I followed the instructions in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7845660/how-to-run-a-service-every-day-at-noon-and-on-every-boot">this thread</a> to create a daily alarm that starts a service at 12:30 each day which shows a notification. The problem I'm having is that setting the alarm also triggers the service (=> and the notification) every time the app starts.</p> <p>Since I figured that the alarm will run only at the specified time (12:30) then I have no problem setting it when the app starts.</p> <p>I realize that setting the alarm from scratch every time the app is launched is a bit ineffective since it only needs to be set once (I made it set on device boot as well), but it seemed like the easiest way.</p> <p>So what's the best way to fix this? is there a way to set the alarm for the specified time without running the intent when setting?</p> <p>Here's the code if you are interested (this function is called every time when launching the app):</p> <pre><code>public static void setAlarm(Context context) { Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class); intent.setAction("com.Rani.app.SET_NOTIFICATION_ALARM"); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT); Calendar dailyCheckTime = Calendar.getInstance(); dailyCheckTime.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")); dailyCheckTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12); dailyCheckTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30); AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarm.cancel(pendingIntent); alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, dailyCheckTime.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent); } </code></pre> <p>thanks in advance.</p>

    1. CORandom guess, have you tried setting the date to tomorrow? `dailyCheckTime.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, tomorrow);` tomorrow would be a calculated var. pseudo : calendar.getDayOfMonth()+1

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.
