So basically I have this code, time returns 24hour time and repeats the alarm daily.
public setAlarm(String time, Context context){
String[] strTime;
strTime = time.split(":");
int hour, min, sec;
//set when to alarm
hour = Integer.valueOf(strTime[0]);
min = Integer.valueOf(strTime[1]);
sec = 0;
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, sec);
//Create a new PendingIntent and add it to the AlarmManager
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiverActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 19248, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}
Anyways, the problem is when I set the alarm 9am while the time is 9:10am, the alarm will go off. Why? I want it not to alarm if it is set past the system time. Ex. set the alarm at 9am while the system time is 9:10am
I got it working now. I added a checker of the alarm time and current time.
public setAlarm(String time, Context context){
String[] strTime;
strTime = time.split(":");
int hour, min, sec;
//set when to alarm
hour = Integer.valueOf(strTime[0]);
min = Integer.valueOf(strTime[1]);
sec = 0;
long _alarm = 0;
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar alarm = Calendar.getInstance();
alarm.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
alarm.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
alarm.set(Calendar.SECOND, sec);
if(alarm.getTimeInMillis() <= now.getTimeInMillis())
_alarm = alarm.getTimeInMillis() + (AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY+1);
else
_alarm = alarm.getTimeInMillis();
//Create a new PendingIntent and add it to the AlarmManager
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiverActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 19248, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, _alarm, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}
