MainActivity.java(Part of code2):
In this code segment, I create the Alarm for each of the free time slots start time.
int broadcastCode=0;
public void startAlarm(int hour,int mminute){
broadcastCode++;
Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent=PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this,broadcastCode,intent,0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar cal_alarm=Calendar.getInstance();
cal_alarm.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,hour);
cal_alarm.set(Calendar.MINUTE,mminute);
cal_alarm.set(Calendar.SECOND,00);
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT){
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,cal_alarm.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Alarm > KITKAT & Alarm Set For: "+hour+" : "+mminute,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT){
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,cal_alarm.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Alarm < KITKAT & Alarm Set For: "+hour+" : "+mminute,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
When i call the startAlarm() function inside the while loop of getDataFromApi() function,
I get this Error:
can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()
I will be glad if anyone can give me a solution or guidance. Thank you.
Checkout this link here: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()
But the problem is the 'toast' lines inside your startAlarm method like this one:
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Alarm > KITKAT & Alarm Set For: "+hour+" : "+mminute,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Any time a view is updated in Android, it must be done on the 'main thread' also known as the 'UI thread'.
It might be better to use logging here rather than toast.
