When your app is run, instead of setting it for +24 hours, you set it based on the stored preference. If the time in the preference is in the past, then something went wrong, your alarm was killed and never fired so maybe your execute whatever it is you do on the alarm trigger at that very moment. However, If the time in preference is for the future, you're still on track and you set the alarm again *for that specified time* instead of +24, under the assumption that it may have been killed. When your alarm goes off, one of the actions you take is to reset the alarm for the next run. Yeah, I wouldn't use repeating alarms for what you cited - it's unreliable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
