I'm creating an app to notify the user to take his Medicine.
I'm already storing your selection of periods, like, 2 in 2 hours, 8 in 8, etc. I'm converting to a double and then multiplying by 3600 in the addingTimeInterval method, as shown below.
func notifications(name: String, timeToTime: String, firstTime: String) {
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Chegou a hora de tomar \(name)"
content.body = "Voce deve ingerir este remédio \(timeToTime)"
content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default
let timeInterval = handleToInt(time: timeToTime)
let date = Date().addingTimeInterval(timeInterval * 3600)
let dateComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute, .second], from: date)
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dateComponents, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "random", content: content, trigger: trigger)
center.add(request)
}
That way, I set the first alarm for X hours from now, for example, selecting 2 in 2 hours, I convert it to 2, and the user will be notified in 2 hours
The timeToTime variable is his choice of interval. The method handleToInt converts to an int or a double.
I'm very lost here...
Here are the other methods that appear in the code
private func handleTime(timeToTime: String) -> String {
var timeToTime = timeToTime
switch timeToTime {
case "2 em 2 horas":
timeToTime = "2"
case "4 em 4 horas":
timeToTime = "4"
case "6 em 6 horas":
timeToTime = "6"
case "8 em 8 horas":
timeToTime = "8"
case "12 em 12 horas":
timeToTime = "4"
default:
timeToTime = "8"
}
return timeToTime
}
func handleToInt(time: String) -> Double {
let timeToInt = handleTime(timeToTime: time)
let myInt = (timeToInt as NSString).integerValue
return Double(myInt)
}
You can use UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger
, e.g.:
// Fire every 2 hours (60 seconds × 60 minutes × 2 hours)
let hours = 2
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: TimeInterval(hours) * 60 * 60, repeats: true)
