I stored the text_of_last_alarm in a file and checked with the debugger that the cancel command really has got the text of the alarm to cancel. I understand that I should not use the intent type to carry arbitrary test.
I also tried to transport the text with the intent extras as you suggested, but the OnAlarmReceiver gets an intent with just "android.intent.extra.ALARM_COUNT" as the only extra - the text I gave to the intent is lost. So I was looking for another way to feed some text through the AlarmManager. Most important to me: the cancelling of an alarm still does not work, even when I set neither type nor extras of the intent. Cancelling of the old alarm and setting a new one now looks like this: AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent x = new Intent(context, OnAlarmReceiver.class); PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, x, 0); am.cancel(pi); if(alarm_needed) am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, time, pi); These lines are called with every alarm change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
