Hi everyone,
I have a "calendar" feature in my app that the user will be able to select a
day and time and set an event. My problem is if the date is the current date
the alarmIntent fires off immediately, not waiting for the proper time. I
have been running tests with it and I set the time for the current day and a
few minutes in the future via a datePicker and a TimePicker. Below is my
code.
//Set Alarm
alarmEvent =
(AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
String ALARM_ACTION;
ALARM_ACTION = EventAlarmReceiver.ACTION_EVENT_ALARM;
Intent intentToFire = new Intent(ALARM_ACTION);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,
dpEvent.getDayOfMonth()-1);
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, dpEvent.getMonth());
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, dpEvent.getYear());
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, tpAddEvent.getCurrentHour());
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,
tpAddEvent.getCurrentMinute());
alarmEventIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
intentToFire, 0);
int alarmType = AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP;
long timeToNotify = cal.getTimeInMillis();
alarmEvent.set(alarmType, timeToNotify,
alarmEventIntent);
Now when I check the timeToNotify variable and use a website to convert the
Millisecond time to regular time, it shows me the correct time that I set on
the phone. I am confused as to why it fires off immediately.
If I set the event for a day in the future it does not go off immediately. I
will have to wait until tomorrow to verify that it does go off.
Any help or input is greatly appreciated!
Tommy
