set alarms from sqlite db in java android

I'm trying to make alarms using the times provided in the sqlite database for the reminders. however I can't seem to be getting it right. the code I have so far is: (in my mainactivity oncreate)
for (int i = 0; i < allRems.size(); i++) {
int mHour = 0, mMin = 0;
String mAlarmTime = allRems.get(i).getRemTime();
int mID = allRems.get(i).getRemId();
if (!(mAlarmTime == null)) {
String[] time = mAlarmTime.split(":");
mHour = Integer.parseInt(time[0].trim());
mMin = Integer.parseInt(time[1].trim());
}
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, mHour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, mMin);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
AlarmManager alarmMgr = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, mID, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmMgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}
}
and my alarm receiver class is
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("onReceive", "--------------------------------------------------------");
Toast.makeText(context, "OnReceive alarm test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
Log.e("DEVICE: ", "Device Rebooted");
}
}
i want to be able to set reminders for the specific time for the reminders in the database

How to set multiple alarms firing distinct notifications for each in Android

I am trying to develop an application in which the user can create more than 1 alarms for the same time ,say, 09:48. And for this time, each alarm has to create its own notification which leads the user to an activity when the notification is clicked. The other alarms which were scheduled at the same time must keep ringing until their notifications are clicked. Now, I am able to create alarms for different times and get their corresponding notifications which lead to an activity in which the user can dismiss or snooze the alarm. However, when I schedule more than one alarm for the same time, only 1 alarm is ringing and the other one gets lost. I share my code pieces at the below.
public void schedule(Context context) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent alarmPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, alarmId, intent, 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
alarmManager.setExact(
AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
alarmPendingIntent
);
In my broadcastReceiver class:
private void startAlarmService(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent intentService = new Intent(context, AlarmService.class);
Log.println(Log.DEBUG, "DEBUG", "************Alarm Broadcast Receiver**********");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
context.startForegroundService(intentService);
} else {
context.startService(intentService);
}
}
In my AlarmService :
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.alarm);
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
vibrator = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, RingActivity.class);
int requestCode = new Random().nextInt(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, requestCode, notificationIntent, 0);
//String alarmTitle = String.format("%s Alarm", intent.getStringExtra(TITLE));
int notificationId = new Random().nextInt(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, String.valueOf(notificationId))
.setContentTitle("PASS1")
.setContentText("PASS2")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.pill)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
mediaPlayer.start();
long[] pattern = { 0, 100, 1000 };
vibrator.vibrate(pattern, 0);
startForeground(1, notification);
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mediaPlayer.stop();
vibrator.cancel();
}

in this code
startForeground(1, notification);
you are using 1 as the id.
If a notification with the same id has already been posted by your application and has not yet been canceled, it will be replaced by the updated information.
So the second alarm notification with the same id (because you are using a fixed value of 1) is replacing the old one

Using JobScheduler for time based notifications

I need to show the user a notification at the same time every day (based on a user selecting the time it is shown). With API 25 and earlier I can use AlarmManager without a problem. However with API 26 (Oreo) it will crash my app if the app is in the background for more than a few minutes. Nothing I've done seems to prevent AlarmManager crashing after about a minute of the app being in the background.
Based on what I have seen online the only solution is to use a JobScheduler, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to have a JobScheduler start at a certain time and then recur every day. (I can have it run at a certain time by calling setOverrideDeadline or I can make it recurring by calling setPeriodic, but calling both throws and exception.)
This is my code for the JobScheduler (I have it set to recur every 15 seconds for testing, but I also want to be able to start it at a certain time):
private void setReminders(){
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED }, 613);
return;
}
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = this.getSharedPreferences(getString(R.string.shared_pref_file_name), ContextWrapper.MODE_PRIVATE);
boolean showReminder = sharedPreferences.getBoolean(getString(R.string.shared_pref_reminder_active_key), false);
int hour = sharedPreferences.getInt(getString(R.string.shared_pref_reminder_hour_key), 21);
int minute = sharedPreferences.getInt(getString(R.string.shared_pref_reminder_minute_key), 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
long startUpTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() + 10000; //calendar.getTimeInMillis() + 10000;
JobInfo.Builder builder = new JobInfo.Builder( 613, new ComponentName(getPackageName(), SefiraReminderJobService.class.getName()));
builder.setRequiredNetworkType(JobInfo.NETWORK_TYPE_NONE)
.setOverrideDeadline(15000)
.setRequiresDeviceIdle(false)
.setRequiresCharging(false)
.setPersisted(true);
builder.setPeriodic(Math.max(15000, JobInfo.getMinPeriodMillis()));
JobScheduler jobScheduler = (JobScheduler) getSystemService( Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE );
if(jobScheduler.schedule(builder.build()) == JobScheduler.RESULT_FAILURE ) {
Log.w("MainActivity.setReminders", "Something went wrong when scheduling the reminders" );
}
}
This is my JobIntentService class:
public final class ReminderJobService extends JobIntentService {
private NotificationManager notificationManager;
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
private static int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1234;
private static String NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID = "my-reminder-channel";
private Notification notification;
#Override
protected void onHandleWork(#NonNull Intent intent) {
Context context = this.getApplicationContext();
notificationManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, mIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, "My Reminders", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT);
// Configure the notification channel.
notificationChannel.setDescription("My Reminders");
notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
notificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{0, 1000, 500, 1000});
notificationChannel.enableVibration(true);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
//.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.ic_launcher))
//.setTicker("ticker value")
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM))
.setContentTitle("Reminder")
.setContentText("Reminder Message").build();
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL | Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND | Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
notification.ledARGB = 0xFFFFA500;
notification.ledOnMS = 800;
notification.ledOffMS = 1000;
notificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
try {
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
} catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
My AndroidManifest contains the following:
<service android:name="ReminderJobService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"></service>
As well as:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
How can I send a recurring notification each day at a specific time on Android 26/8.0/Oreo even when the app is in the background?

This workable decision but with deprecated logic:
public scheduleEvent(int id, long scheduleTime) {
final PendingIntent pendingIntent = pendingIntent(id);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
alarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, scheduleTime, pendingIntent);
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, scheduleTime, pendingIntent);
} else {
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, scheduleTime, pendingIntent);
}
private PendingIntent pendingIntent(int id) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(app, EventReceiver.class);
intent.setAction("some event " + id);
return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 10, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
Create EventReceiver don't forget add it in AndroidManifest
public class EventReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
final ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), EventService.class.getName());
startWakefulService(context, intent.setComponent(comp));
}
}
Create EventService, also add it to the AndroidManifest
public class EventService extends IntentService {
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(final Intent intent) {
//Your logic here
}
}

Alarm successfully sets for future time, but not for Calendar date

I have this app where i want to set a notification on a specific date the user defines. I saw lots of code and relative answers here on SO but for some reason nothing works so far.
In this test project i have 2 methods. One that sets an alarm to ring 5 seconds on future and one that assigns the desired date.
Problem:
If i set the alarm to a second delay it works fine. The notification is shown within 5 seconds after the alarm assignment. But if i use the method that passes a Calendar date, it does nothing. Not triggers no notification
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void setAlarmOnClick(View view){
// this method call works fine
setAlarm(getNotification("Date test"), 3000);
// this one doesn't
// setAlarm(getNotification("Date test"), getDate());
}
// Here nothing happens when the date comes
private void setAlarm(Notification notification, Calendar cal) {
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationPublisher.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION_ID, 1);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION, notification);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent );
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
// This alarm get successfully trigger here showing the notification
private void setAlarm(Notification notification, int delay) {
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationPublisher.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION_ID, 1);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION, notification);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, delay, pendingIntent );
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
private Calendar getDate(){
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH,8);
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR,2017);
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,29);
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,11);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,47);
return cal;
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
private Notification getNotification(String content) {
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this);
builder.setContentTitle("Scheduled Notification");
builder.setContentText(content);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
return builder.build();
}
}
NotificationPublisher.java
public class NotificationPublisher extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static String NOTIFICATION_ID = "notification-id";
public static String NOTIFICATION = "notification";
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
int id = intent.getIntExtra(NOTIFICATION_ID, 0);
NotificationManager notofManager = (NotificationManager)context. getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = intent.getParcelableExtra(NOTIFICATION);
notofManager.notify(id, notification);
}
}
I would really appreciate anykind of help!
P.S.
How can i be sure that an alarm was successfully set on a date. Even if a code works and a date is set a week form now. How can i test that it will trigger then? Obviously we can't wait a week to see that. Changing the device date is working? Thank you

Calendar month goes from 0-11 instead of 1-12 as u assumed.
So something like:
cal.set(Calendar.Month, 7 );
would set your calendar month to August.

Android Alarm Manager Set Repeating at Specific Timing

I am having some problem with alarm manager in Android. So what I am trying to do is set the alarm to repeat to run the DB insertion every day around 12.01AM.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 1);
notificationCount = notificationCount + 1;
AlarmManager mgr = (AlarmManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context,
ReminderAlarm.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("NotifyCount", notificationCount);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
notificationCount, notificationIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
So basically I've came up with these code. However, the alarm manager execute again after the minute I set it.
Let's say I run the apps on 01/10/2014 5.48PM. I wanted this to run the DB insertion when onReceive every day after I set it around 12.01AM only. But somehow, the alarm manager execute at 01/10/2014 5.49PM which is one minute after I set it and it stopped working.
I wonder which part I did wrongly.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Recurring class
For this class, it will trigger the alarm manager everyday and pass the variables along to reminder alarm class for DB insertion.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.recurring);
context = this;
buildListView();
if(!alarmInitialized(this)) {
scheduleAlarms(this);
}
}
// And the few methods you suggested to schedule the alarm
public static void scheduleAlarms(Context context) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
if (hasRunnedToday(context)) { // if the alarm has run this day
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); // schedule it to run again starting
// tomorrow
}
long firstRunTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
AlarmManager mgr = (AlarmManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ReminderAlarm.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
notificationIntent, 0);
mgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, firstRunTime,
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, BootReceiver.class);
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,

}
BootReceiver class
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent i) {
if (i.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Recurring.scheduleAlarms(context);
}
}
ReminderAlarm class
Basically for this class it just grab the variable passed from Recurring class and execute the DB insertion. I did inserted some Toast.makeText to test if it is retrieving but no luck by testing it.
public class ReminderAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
private Notification notification;

I've added this part of codes in the part you suggested to schedule the alarm to call the BootReceiver class. Then from BootReceiver class, I will call back to the Recurring class and Reminder Alarm class:
ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, BootReceiver.class);
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

The problem is in calendar.getTimeInMillis() in
mgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
The second argument to setInexactRepeating quoting the doc
triggerAtMillis time in milliseconds that the alarm should first go off, using the appropriate clock (depending on the alarm type). This is inexact: the alarm will not fire before this time, but there may be a delay of almost an entire alarm interval before the first invocation of the alarm.
Meaning it will run the first time aproximally one minute after you set it because of
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 1);
If you wan't the first run of the alarm to be the next day do a
calendar.add(Calendar. DATE, 1);`
As to the it stopped working, did you reboot de device ?
AlarmCalendar alarms don't persist to device reboot, you can register a BroadcastReceiver to receive BOOT_COMPLETED event and register the alarm again check
does Alarm Manager persist even after reboot?
Update: as you requested here is some help after reviewing your code
In your BOOT_COMPLETED Receiver class:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent i) {
if (i.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
ReminderAlarm.scheduleAlarms(this);
}
}
In your ReminderAlarm class
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.recurring);
if(!alarmInitialized(this) {
scheduleAlarms(this);
}
}
public static void scheduleAlarms(Context context) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
if(hasRunnedToday(context)) { //if the alarm has run this day
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); //schedule it to run again starting tomorrow
}
long firstRunTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
AlarmManager mgr = (AlarmManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ReminderAlarm.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
notificationIntent, 0);
mgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
firstRunTime, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
}
public static boolean alarmInitialized(Context context) {
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("alarm_prefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
long alarmLastRun = preferences.getLong("AlarmLastRun", -1);
return alarmLastRun != -1;
}
public static void updateAlarmLastRun(Context context) {
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("alarm_prefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
preferences.edit()
.putLong("AlarmLastRun", new Date().getTime())
.apply();
}
public static boolean hasRunnedToday(Context context) {
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("alarm_prefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
long alarmLastRun = preferences.getLong("AlarmLastRun", -1);
if(alarmLastRun == -1) {
return false;
}
//check by comparing day, month and year
Date now = new Date();
Date lastRun = new Date(alarmLastRun);
return now.getTime() - lastRun.getTime() < TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(1);
}
Each time your Reminder class alarm runs you should call updateAlarmLastRun to update the last time the alarm has run, this is necessary because the alarm may be schedule to be run on a day and the user reboots the device before the alarm has run in that case we don't want to
use calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); since that would skip a day.
On your Manifest.xml
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="false" android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Notes:
You shouldn't do context = this if context is a class field since the object holds a reference to its field context and context field holds a reference to the object that would leak
Your Receiver 'onReceive` doesn't has the extras you assumed to have like "notificationCount" onReceive by the system when your device finish boot.
Once your alarm runs call updateAlarmLastRun
Hope any of this helps
