Dear String : I want to implmement a digital clock like in the following link.
http://retroclock.jsource.nl/ But I have problem in digital clock which synchronize with system time. I use the intent-filter originally, but the method seems impossible. filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_TICK); filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED); I reference your methods, but still fail. Please help me. In the following, attached my source code method - onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- public static PendingIntent sender = null; public static AlarmManager am = null; public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { super.onReceive(context, intent); String action = intent.getAction(); if (action.equals("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE")) { // First alarm to go off when the RTC minute changes long firstTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); firstTime += (60000 - firstTime % 60000); // Schedule the alarm sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0); am = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService (Context.ALARM_SERVICE); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC, firstTime, sender); // am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, firstTime, 60000, sender); } if (action.equals("android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_DISABLED")) { if(am != null && sender != null) { sender.cancel(); am.cancel(sender); } am = null; sender = null; } } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above code can work when only "one widget" be put in Android Launcher Desktop. If more than two widget, it will have problem. I use this method, this still have other problem about TIME_Change by manaul setting. Please assist me ! Thank you very much .
